Oct. 2001 Harley Schlanger, Taking inspiration from Dante, & Cervantes, a few Jews , Mendele Mocher Sforim, I L Peretz, & Sholem Aleichem, decided to transform some kitchen jargon, Yiddish, into a literate form of language in order to transform the backwards and degraded culture of the Shtetl (ghetto). Earlier developments around great intellects such as Maimonides and Moses Mendelsohnn are gone through. Articles on the subject are at the Schiller Institute website. http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_02-06/032_yiddish.html The statement from Mr. LaRouche that is read by Harley at the end of the presentation is the Fidelio article "Music, Judaism, and Hitler" http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_97-01/fid_993_LaR_edit.html An article on Moses Mendelssohn is at http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_97-01/992_mend_spm.html Since any discussion of Jews brings up the old prejudices by the usual nudzh that would make a good character in a Sholem Aleichem story, I would prefer that the comments get shut down, but for the chance at poking fun, I'll keep it open. Be warned nudnicks! :)
