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 

posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject: Correcting and supplementing an earlier notice of K. Weiser's 
/Jewish People,Yiddish Nation
Noah Prylucki and the Folkists in Poland
/

In the notice sent out a few days ago there was mention of a 
pre-publication discount for our /redaktor/'s book.  I regret that the 
technical limitations of the mailer normally used to send out /Mendele/ 
and /Personal Notices & Announcements/ prevented my including a pdf 
needed to get that discount. To make amends, this posting will be 
distributed by a standard mailer, one that allows attachments.

Also, I have deleted the US telephone number previously listed as the 
one US residents should call to place an order. In North America, at 
least, phone orders can be placed only by calling  the Canadian  
numbers; but to receive the discount form you need to print out and mail 
the order form in the attachment.

Here, with appropriate deletions, is the original announcement:

Noah Prylucki (1882–1941), a leading Jewish cultural and political 
figure in pre-Holocaust Eastern Europe, was a proponent of Yiddishism, a 
movement that promoted
secular Yiddish culture as the basis for Jewish collective identity in 
the twentieth century. Prylucki’s dramatic path – from russified Zionist 
raised in a Ukrainian shtetl, to Diaspora nationalist parliamentarian in 
metropolitan Warsaw, to professor of Yiddish in Soviet Lithuania – 
uniquely reflects the dilemmas and competing options facing the Jews of 
this era as life in Eastern Europe underwent radical transformation. 
Using hitherto unexplored archival sources, memoirs, interviews, and 
materials from the vibrant interwar Jewish and Polish presses, Kalman 
Weiser investigates the rise and fall of Yiddishism and of Prylucki’s 
political party, the Folkists, in the post-World War One era. Jewish 
People, Yiddish Nation reveals the life of a remarkable individual and 
the fortunes of a major cultural movement that has long been obscured.

Kalman (Keith) Weiser is the Silber Family Professor of Modern Jewish 
Studies in the Centre for Jewish Studies at York University.
