Baker" Subject: Introduction My full name is Zachary Moshe Baker (Moyshe-Zkharye Beker). I prefer to be called Zachary. I am currently Head Librarian of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and have been so since September 1987. My previous library positions were Head of Technical Services and the Yiddish Dept. of the Jewish Public Library, Montreal (1981-87) and Chief Yiddish Cataloger in the YIVO Library (1976-81). I will be glad to share this newsletter with colleagues here at YIVO. Also, in my capacity as librarian, would like to know if it is possible to receive HARD-COPY PRINTOUTS of back issues of MENDELE (in order to avoid blockage of the e-mail system)? I have received a number of printouts from Yossi Galron, at Ohio State (vol. 1, no. 1-96, plus no. 170 or thereabouts, onward -- the latter issues haven't been collated yet).

Prince" Subject: RE: Mendele Vol1.191 re homentashn in philadelphia's italian market--there are homentashn ALL OVER THE PLACE in philadelphia, ALL YEAR LONG. they've become part of the general culture like bagels, for reasons that escape me entirely. (i don't even understand the huge success of bagels, except as biodegradable teething rings, esp given the enormous superiority of bialys, virtually unknown west of the hudson except in some markedly jewish neighborhoods). have homentashn made it in the rest of the country, or is this just another strange property of philadelphia? ellen prince ______________________________________________________ End of Mendele Vol 1.194 As of 3/25/92 Mendele is distributed via Listserv.
