I text my ex who's fluent in German, French, and English in YIVO-inspired latin alphabet Yiddish because she refused to learn it. She understands it perfectly, but refuses to answer in German. And when I speak I slap the shit out of the R like I just got off the oxcart from the shtetl.

Indeed, this was my uncle's reasoning for why it was a great idea for the YIVO to publish books with side-by-side translation. People still wanted to read the books, but even if they grew up in a Yiddish-speaking home, not many of them wanted to read the books *in* Yiddish.

He became a physician after WWI and left music behind, but unlike his relatives, he wrote it down. I've posted about other members of this family who came up in my YIVO research, but Morris was the son of Charles Goldring (1866–1930) and brother of Sigmund (1888–1947), who remained klezmers in NYC.

I know that YIVO used to run "conversational Yiddish" classes online that involved no reading, just speaking, and I hate that they seem to have shut those down

I mentioned him a few times back when I was researching at YIVO, not only because he was mentioned in the Gliner landsmanshaft collection but also he had his own collection which was mainly about his poetry career and letters other poets or publishers had sent him, drafts etc.
a lot of the boxes were admin stuff, so it's cool that in the first box I found this snippet where in 1940 Katz was inviting a new member: Jeremiah Hescheles, a fellow violinist from Glina who had been a medical student in Italy in 1938 when antisemitic laws were passed and he decided to emigrate.

Looking forward to it. But I’m really not happy with YIVO passively-aggressively framing this as a counter to Molly Crabapple’s book.

someone asked me to use my research skills to collect some info about Leon Schwartz for him—Bucovina violinist in NY who had a long career & lived long enough to teach early klezmer revival ppl. How did I spent 2.5 months working at YIVO last year and not know they had a collection of his music? 😮💨
