Yiddish on the Ehpes:
Nothing can be more exciting and original to the old timer than
bringing back the old language , the twisted lingo so musical
and expressive. Where everything is so easily told and the idea
pronounced before it is processed .
When the tongue is quicker than the mind.
But this is an English speaking group and we respect the right
of all members to participate. Translations help but not much.
We may translate the text but not the meaning.
So we accommodate and it works not too bad.
I believe that among the silent ,many have language problems.
They can enjoy our pictures and sounds ,
We will do our best,
Hardy
