Dear Lowlanders,

The following is an excerpt from ...

_The Mendele Review_: Yiddish Literature and Language
              (A Companion to _MENDELE_)

d. _Grine medine; a yidishe, literarishe tsaytshrift_ / _Grine Medine;
Een tijdschrift voor liefhebbers van de Jiddisje taal_ (Amsterdam), No.
1 (September 2000), 20 pp.  This bilingual (Dutch-Yiddish) quarterly is
edited by a small group of Amsterdam Yiddish-lovers.  Attempting to read
the Dutch, one discovers -- to parody Kafka -- that one knows more Dutch
than he/she realized.  About a third of the journal is Yiddish and the
rest Dutch.  The journal is attractively designed and tastefully edited.

By the way, as far as I know, _grine medine_ (['grine me'dine]) means 'green
country/state' (< Hebrew _medinah_).

I have heard good things about this periodical, though I have not yet had the
pleasure of seeing an issue.

Another "by the way" ...  It would be nice if we at Lowlands-L published a
book and periodical review the way the good folks at Mendele do.  This would
be in addition to our permanent "Beginners' Guides to Offline Language
Materials"
(http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/lowlands/guides_offline.htm).

If you have any reviews to contribute, please send them to me marked "for
review issue," and I will save them and publish them monthly.  This could be
any online or offline publications (including periodicals) pertaining to our
Lowlands languages and cultures.

Best regards,
Reinhard/Ron
