Subject: Yiddish Books in Melbourne
Date: July 17, 2011

The Jewish Museum of Australia in Melbourne is currently exhibiting 
"Mameloshn - Yiddish Melbourne"
http://www.jewishmuseum.com.au/exhibitions.htm
and a bibliography of the more than 60 books published in Melbourne in 
Yiddish has been prepared.
This is available upon request from Andrew Firestone at afire at tpg.com.au

Mendele readers may also be interested in the forthcoming third edition of 
Serge Liberman's Bibliography of Australasian Judaica 1788-2008 with 
extensive coverage of books and scholarly journal articles published in 
Australia and New Zealand relating to Jewish matters. Further information 
may be obtained from
hybridpublishers at optusnet.com.au.

Subject: Shlomo Strauss-Marko and Mendel Tempel

Dear Mendelianer,

Does anybody know when the two Yiddish writers from Poland Shlomo 
Strauss-Marko and Mendel Tempel died? Strauss-Marko was born in 1914, 
Tempel in 1907.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Magdalena Ruta

Subject: halb yokish, halb fayvish

My parents. who came from the Ukraine, used the expression "yokish un 
farbish" to indicate items that did not match - like dishes or clothes.

Philip Sopinsky

Subject: gimel"pey

This may not be relevant to the context, but why not see if it works. In 
Hebrew, the abbreviation giml"pey usually means "three times." Three is 
the numeric value of giml in gematria (Hebrew "roman numerals"), and pey 
stands for "pe'amim," or times (like in the Four Questions--on this night 
we dip "shtey pe'amim," or two times). The abbreviation is often used in 
prayers to indicate that some short phrase is to be repeated three times.

I hope this helps.

Zayt gezunt,
Mike Koplow

Subject:  gimel"pey

Lena Watson inquired about the meaning of the gimel"pey addition after 
someone's name.  Harkavy explains it as meaning "three times" but does not 
explain any further.
The "Gimel" stands for the number "3" and the "Pey" for "Pa'amim," which 
in Hebrew means times, so that the phrase stands for "three times."

Whether it is a short way of saying "may he/she be three times blessed" or 
some such expression, I hope another reader can explain or amplify.

Zulema Seligsohn

Subject: biz keyn dants

For a translation I'm doing, can anyone say what "loyft es biz keyn dants" 
means in this verse from a 1920s Yiddish musical?

Loyft dos vaser fun dem veldl, loyft es biz keyn dants.
Zet a bokher dort a meydl, nemt er zi tsum tants.

One meaning of "dants" is Gdansk (Danzig).

Many thanks,
Michael Ochs
