Thanks for your very nice comment, Shosh...Frummie?<br /><br />Thanks for your very nice comment, Shoshana! I felt it was time for someone to step up and take over the mantle since Isaac Bashevis' passing? (Umm, he is passed, isn't he? I don't want to be sued.)<br /><br />Maybe in Chapter 2, I'll bring in a Frummie ...Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-41749458329526007812010-11-14T14:12:54.390-05:002010-11-14T14:12:54.390-05:00A real Yiddishe story, move over Isaac Bashevis Si...A real Yiddishe story, move over Isaac Bashevis Singer! It had me in tears (of laughter?)<br /><br />I just felt the heroine's name was unusual. I would have gone for something more like Shayndel or Frummie.<br /><br />Look forward to reading chapter 2 of this family saga ....Shoshanahttp://www.thejew.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-79867256183044063212010-11-13T21:28:26.957-05:002010-11-13T21:28:26.957-05:00Cheryl,

I don't really think Maimonides mentions Chinese food and I bet they'd blow the whistle on me!)<br /><br />Thanks for your nice comment!Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-2011223461625854062010-11-13T21:23:23.726-05:002010-11-13T21:23:23.726-05:00Gail,
Well, I haven't heard from you since ...Gail, <br /><br /> Well, I haven't heard from you since I presented you with the coveted Versatile Blogger Award a while back. <br /><br /> Yes, I understand you've been on the West Coast partying with film stars, but you might pick up a phone once in a while. Or at least answered the phone when I called! <br /><br /> I went for a serious ending mainly because the piece seemed to call for it. I couldn't leave poor Meeskela without a husband or the poor rabbi starving, even though he was sort of a jerk. Also I thought it was time to get away from all the anachronisms. Okay, Miss Francis?<br /><br />What is the plural that should be singular? It's hurting me! Please tell me so I can fix it!Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-23092575128289167412010-11-13T12:16:46.770-05:002010-11-13T12:16:46.770-05:00Perry, you are an original!

You know happy endings are against the Jewish religion. There was one verb that was plural that should have been singular. That hurt me. You have some funny notions and delivery. Thanks for the footnotes because being Sephardic I don't know any Yiddish.gail mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558329165342330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-37578653902370125932010-11-13T07:05:14.327-05:002010-11-13T07:05:14.327-05:00Madison,
Thank you!
I wasn't sure how ...Madison,<br /><br /> Thank you!<br /><br /> I wasn't sure how this story would be received --- so far, you are the only one to receive it --- because it's unusal for me to actually tell a story and to do so in another genre (I did it once before). <br /><br />I also hope the Jewishisms weren't too mystifying. I've included more footnotes here than I have in anything I've written since college!<br /><br />Thanks again. Enjoying your regular posts too!Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-84186198843662744592010-11-12T16:45:41.848-05:002010-11-12T16:45:41.848-05:00Good story - I enjoyed it :)Good story - I enjoyed it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
