Yiddish Anecdotes The Jewish News advises those submitting copy for engage- ments or weddings that the following policy will be enforced: 1. Information must include addresses and phone numbers of both bride and bridegroom, as well as their parents' names and addresses. 2. Engagement announcements less than two months before the Redding date will not be accepted. 3. Wedding announcements more than two months after the Redding will not be accepted. Announcements are printed at no charge; however, there is a S5 engraving charge for photographs. After the picture has appeared in the paper, both the photograph and plate will be available for pickup at The Jewish News. Yiddish Stories About Schlemiels Characteristically, Yiddish folk- lore has no Paul Bunyan, but it does have a Motke Ilabad. He is the Jew who is forever trying to make ends meet, but always in vain. Good - natured, well - inten- tioned, and desperately eager to get ahead in the world, fate seems to be constantly against him, and he fails no matter to what he turns. He is the arch-typical schlemiel, and the mock: pathetic hero of countless anecdotes. For example: It is related that on one occa- sion Motke llabad was reduced to such straits that he was forced to appeal to the heads of the com- munity for help. "If you will not support me," he threatened, "I shall become a hat maker!" - Nu," they laughed, "and what if you will?" "But don't you see what that would mean?" he wailed, "If I turn hat maker, all the infants in this town will be born without heads!" * • Almost next door to Motke Habad lived a very rich merchant who was exceedingly haughty. Poor Motke could not abide the latter's snubs, and he finally confronted him one day and cried: "Look. Reb Hayyim, I can't understand why you are so arrogant. Now, if I were arrogant, there would be some justification for it. After all, I am a person of importance, for my neighbor is the rich Hayyim Stoltz. But you? Pooh, your neigh- bor is that miserable Mot k e liabad!" Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow ye diet. —William Gilmore Beymer.
