NEW ISSUE OF AFN SHVEL - "In Honor of Sholem Aleichem's 150+ Birthday" Can 
you guess - which three languages now boast a new translation of Sholem 
Aleichem's Teyve the Dairyman? Was Tevye a masochist? Was Menakhem-Mendl a 
scoundrel or an idealist? How DID the man from Buenos-Aires make his 
living? Could there possibly be a system of Yiddish orthography that would 
account for all dialectical pronunciations?

Double issue #350-351 of the Yiddish cultural/literary magazine Afn Shvel: 
"In Honor of Sholem Aleichem's 150+ Birthday," published by the League for 
Yiddish, will, in its 60 pages, answer many of these questions, and more. 
(See below for a full Table of Contents). Included are dozens of wonderful 
historical photos. Several articles are accompanied by glossaries. You can 
see the cover, table of contents  and several articles from this issue, as 
well as articles from previous issues, at our website: 
www.leagueforyiddish.org, click on "Magazine Afn Shvel".

institutions) and includes membership in the League for Yiddish which
