2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu 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.
[The Untershames regrets that this notice did not come to his attention
soon enough to be published before the funeral/]
Tayere Mendelyaner,
I am very sorry to tell you of the passing of Roberta Saltzman, Assistant
Chief of the Dorot Jewish Division, New York Public Library. She died of
cancer. Roberta was a superb librarian and bibliographer, and the author of
“Isaac Bashevis Singer : a bibliography of his works in Yiddish and
English, 1960-1991; (Lanham, Md. : Scarecrow
Press, 2002). She was also known for her interest in Jewish cookbooks and
was profiled in a Forward article, “A
cookbook-craze-becomes-a-rare-collection.”
She helped many Yiddish researchers over the years.
(Miryem-Khaye) Seigel
Librarian, Dorot Jewish Division, Room 111
The New York Public Library
