I don’t want to talk about Sylvia Rosenberg’s death. It is too much.

Instead I will mention the evening at Beit Leyvick on Saturday night. I will never understand why they don’t advertise these evenings better. There is so much going on there. This evening was a muiltilingual reading of Jewish poetry. There were readings in Polish, Hebrew, Russian, Georgian, Ladino, English and of course, Yiddish. But my reading was the strangest to me – I was asked to read a poem in Friulian.

Daniel got it off this site . It took me a number of readings to understand the poem at all, but now I know it is about the edelweiss and the soldiers who were lost in World War I.
