#1 They still publish Yiddish-language newspapers? I wonder if there are any Amish papers out there printed on physical presses, in Plattdeutsch.

Still, "The Secretary Disappears". ^_^

#2 When I was growing up in Pennsylvania our local newspaper had a weekly column called, if I recall correctly, "Was sagt dir, Kaspar Hufnagel?"

#3 There are still a few Yiddish newspapers in the NYC area. But even the Forward's non-English edition is now printed in Russian, I believe. It's nit something I pay much attention to, I'm afraid.

#4 It's a trivial enough thing, but it does seem odd that they took the trouble to modify the photo for some reason.

(shrug)

#5 Most of the Hassidic and ultra-Orthodox groups are really, really strange. The Lubavitcher sect - the ones massacred in Mumbai -- get out in the world, but the rest are like cults. There's one group that was convinced their rabbi was the messiah, only he went senile and then died before he announced himself. They've been waiting for him to come back from the dead and announce for about a decade, if I remember the timing correctly. At the rate that particular bunch are going, they're going to take themselves out of Judaism altogether within a generation.

Agreed completely about the girl cooties. Honestly, given the objection to "images", I'm surprised they didn't simply remove the photo and be done with it.

#6 It all seems so Soviet.
