Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements

May 8, 2012

To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.

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.


[Yale is currently undertaking a transformation of its email system. 
Peculiar, perhaps ugly, format malformations might be a temporary side 
effect of the process.]

Subject: “Candles of Song” now with audio

Dear Mendelyaner,


I'm pleased to tell you that audio is now available at my blog: Candles 
of Songs: Yiddish Poems about Mother. You will be able to hear a reading 
of each of the poems in Yiddish (by me). You will find the recording at 
the very top left of each posting. The name of the poem in Yiddish is 
given in
transliteration in blue letters followed by the word "audio". To access 
the audio just click on those words. I hope this will add to your 
enjoyment and appreciation of these poems.

Candles of song can be found at: http://shevazucker.com/blog
You don’t need to subscribe. You simply need to go there whenever you wish.

have marked her grave by Rokhl Korn

something of a resource for people seeking poems about mothers.
