yiddish is cool

At least according to this article, though I am inclined to agree. I actually wanted to learn Yiddish a few years back (well, I still do), but have never lived anywhere that offered classes (or at least, not when I lived there--i.e., Pittsburgh has classes now, NC did the year before I moved there, and so on). Apparently there are online versions, but I guess I'm a traditionalist when it comes to learning languages.

Aaron Lansky (founder of the National Yiddish Book Center) is on my short list of "who I want to meet".r

Yeah, after I read Outwitting History, I wanted to be one of his minions! He's like a hero. Seriously.
