Do you know where I could get more information about the filmmaking of Joseph Greene, and what as well as how many films were made. Most notable among the films was: Tevye the Milkman and the Dybbuk. thanks Gary Auslander 2)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 11:31:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Ruvn@aol.com Subject: yung forverts Tayere Sylvia un ale andere Mendeleyners, Yo, ikh'ob gehat gezen dem Yidisher Forverts kindervinkl mit di sheyn ilustrirte kinder-mayselekh.

I am sure that children will not be the only ones reading it. ...But did you see the letter from the managment? Along with the first childrens' corner, they printed a notice (really a warning) that if it becomes useful, if mother and fathers or grandplarents are reading the material to their children, they should write letters to the Forverts letting the Forverts know. If they do not receive such letters, the Forverts will be obliged to terminate the childrens' corner column.

I'd like to challenge undzere khosheve mendelyaner to come up with a sharp, elegant English version of "az me lebt, derlebt men." Ha-Shem knows, I've tried. It's for a translation I'm working on; if I wind up using your suggestion, I promise to put your name in a note.

We wish to remind the readers again that some of these songs in our book originally appeared in our Yiddish column "Perl fun der yidisher poezye" (Pearls of Yiddish Poetry) that is published biweekly in the Yiddish Forward. I know that many of you are subscribers already, others may be interested in knowing that we print poetry, songs, letters that readers send us about songs they remember, and they can subscribe very easily, by writing to the Jewish Forward, 45 East 33 St., New York, N.Y. l00l9, or by calling 212-889-8200. As for the song requested, we will print the refrain of the song here, just to whet your appetite for more: Oy, fraytik oyf der nakht Iz ayeder yid a meylekh, In yedn vinkele lakht, Di gantse shtub iz freylekh. Chana-Eleanor and Yosl-Joseph Mlotek 5)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 20:25:12 -0400 From: "Robert Goldenberg" Subject: Song in Yiddish Gerald Behling asks in Mendele 7.040 about a shabes song. It is called FRAYTIK AF DER NAKHT. The music and lyrics can be found in Chana and Yosl Mlotek's wonderful new Yiddish song collection, "Songs of Generations." It is available from The Workman's Circle Book Center in Manhattan. Interesting historical notes accompany this and all the other songs in this 300+ page book, as well as in the previous 2 song collections by the same authors.
