[Victor Bers]

Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements
Oct. 28, 2016

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

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
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.

This will be your go-to Yiddish-language reference book for decades to
come. To read more about the dictionary see the article written by Joseph
Berger in the New York Times:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nytimes.com_2016_10_05_arts_how-2Ddo-2Dyou-2Dsay-2Demail-2Din-2Dyiddish.html&d=CwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=hgSCSvtHqNOp40iT6T4uKyOHqvQreUPfVso-KO1Kgto&m=svCWerGoNxTTBrKplHhaMoirltoUMybKgEAEnYbBWIQ&s=lPA4YJQjx7ru4SpLiLlOR-geMEf9Jp6vGaXNaUeXnTU&e= 

.... Containing nearly 50,000 entries and 33,000 subentries, the
Comprehensive English-Yiddish Dictionary emphasizes Yiddish as a living
language that is spoken in many parts of the world. The late Mordkhe
Schaechter collected and researched spoken and literary Yiddish in all its
varieties; this landmark dictionary reflects his vision for present-day and
future Yiddish usage. The entries, ranging (literally) from agriculture to
zoology, include words and expressions used by professionals and tradesmen,
in synagogues, in schools, on the street, in the military, at home and in
intimate life — wherever Yiddish-speaking Jews lived and worked — and can
be found in Yiddish literature, newspapers and other sources of the written
word. Included as well are thousands of entries reflecting contemporary
topics, such as technology and computer science.
.... The editors-in-chief of the dictionary are Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath
(Yiddish-language editor of Afn Shvel, Yiddish poet, and colleague of Dr.
Schaechter during the first years of the project) and Dr. Paul Glasser
(former Dean of the Max Weinreich Center for Advanced Jewish Studies at the
YIVO Institute for Jewish Research). The associate editor is Dr. Chava
Lapin (Yiddish professor, scholar and language expert).
