2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and 
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has

RE: Contemporary Yiddish writers from Central, Eastern Europe by Gerben 
Zaagsma


One of the most prominent authors from the former USSR writing in Yiddish 
(now based in Israel) is Michael (Mikhoel) Felsenbaum. He's very prolific, 
writing novels, short sroties, dramas and poems/songs, and has 
encyclopaedic knowledge of Yiddish and yiddishkayt. The late Dr. Joseph 
Sherman started working on the translation into English of M. Felsenbaum's 
latest novel, Shabesdike Shvebelekh, but sadly passed away before it was 
completed. The first three chapters in English can be found in The Mendele 
Review.
