«SINISTER
ANECDOTE»
The initial official version of the Ukrainian military about their non-involvement in the incident was hardly believable at once. One could wonder what they would say when everything was cleared up.

FACE TO
YIDDISH
Alive and will be alive dear to our heart Mame-Loshn. This is our immense contribution to the world civilization. But it is horrible if there are people who can turn away of Yiddish.

SEARCHING FOR
A BLACK CAT
On one hand, Israel intends to bring one million of repatriates more, and it is not a secret that many of them won't be Jews. On the other hand, many express doubts about strangers coming into the country.

MITN PONIM TSUM YIDDISH - FACE TO YIDDISH

FAINA BRAVERMAN-GORBACH

The current year (2001) is outstanding for its remarkable dates in the history of hard-suffered Mame-Loshn in the former USSR and after its collapse. First of all it is the 75-th anniversary of the period when Yiddish was in full swing (1926-1936). The second date is younger. It is only 40. The period starting from 1961 can be called the second blossoming. It ends in 1991, from which the third period, the youngest, began. The latter is only 10 years old. It is the "fading" period of Yiddish against the revival of the overall Jewish culture in independent Ukraine since the USSR collapsed.
