For those Mendelnikes who don't know of the multi-talented Michael, just listen to one of his Kapelye or Brave old world discs, or better yet attend a BOW concert for some real music and dancing.Ir megt mir gleybm un nokh dem danken.

I was surprised about the "Aramaic" assumption, and did not find any support for it in the Even Shoshan Dictionary which I consulted. The result is: male, RASHA (resh shin 'ayin) with two qamatz; female R'SHA'AH (resh shin 'ayin heh) with shva and two qamatz or R'SHA'IT (resh shin 'ayin yod tav) with shva qamatz hiriq. I hope this is what was wanted.

However, we seem to be moving away from Yiddish and talking about diseases, Schindler's List, Etc. Why don't we confine the network to Yiddish, the language, culture, history. If Mendelniks want to discuss other topics, let them use the Jewish Culture Newsgroup Network. Ir zolt mir moykhl zein. Ikh hob dedarft areinvorfn meine tzvei sent. Zeit mir aleh gezunt zein. Zalmen Itzik Clare. 5)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue Feb 15 10:44:03 1994 From: yohanan weininger Subject: Y. Zamir video title: correction On the Feb 8 Jerusalem Municipal Library program on Yisrael Zamir's book, (My Father, Yizhak Bashevis Singer), I misreported title of Hebrew video: > Video excerpts were shown from "May-haben ba'manhattan" (From the > Son in Manhattan), a TV docudrama which intersperes the 1955 father-... This should be: Video excerpts were shown from "Matben b'manhattan" (A haystack in Manhattan), a TV docudrama which intersperses the 1955 father-son... Mem-tav-bet-nun "matben" = haystack: the video opens with a kibbutz couple on a haystack, the young Zamir saying that to go to New York to look for his father would be like seeking a needle in a haystack.
