The piyyut refers to events that occurred at various times in Jewish history on Passover night. Most of these events involved male personalities, though there is one indirect reference to Sarah who was taken to Avimelekh on the eve of Passover. However, references to events on the Eve of Passover involving female figures are found in various places in the midrashic literature, and based on these sources, I composed in 2002 two additional stanzas, consisting of three lines each, to Va-Yehi ba-Hazi ha-Lailah. The Hebrew text with an English translation was published in various places, including in the haggadah by Joel B. Wolowelsky, Women at theSeder: A Passover Haggadah, New York: Ktav, 2005, pp. 9091. In the past year it was published in Hashmi'ini Et Kolech, a volume marking a decade since the establishment of Kolech, as well as in Dirshuni, a compilation of midrashim written by Israeli women.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Cataloguing Judaeo-German
No, the question is whether there is a distinct Judeo-German language, as opposed to Yiddish. Do Yiddish speakers (writers) using what they perceive as standard German constitute a new language, or merely Yiddish affecting Germanism beyond the rather high percentage of German that is normally with Yiddish. --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
Re: [ha-Safran]: Cataloguing Judaeo-German
All I was thinking of was German in Hebrew script = Judeo-German, which is well attested, though rather limited in time and place. Obviously I should have paid closer attention. Stephen D.

[ha-Safran]: Yiddish and Judeo-German
Yiddish and German. Although Yiddish and German share a large vocabulary, there are significant differences in grammar. When deciding whether something is German in Hebrew characters, or Yiddish it is important to look at the placement of the verb, use of ayn/ayne (ein, eine) versus a as the indefinite article, in addition to a general absence of Slavic words. Older Yiddish tends to be more Daytschmerish and use extra hey's where more modern Yiddish does not (compare the Harkavy orthography to that of Weinreich). Therefore orthography can be misleading. As to language or dialect, the most appropriate answer is probably a Creole. Yiddish is as intelligible to a German speaker as Creole to a French speaker or Krio and Gullah to an English speaker. Yiddish and German differ more than Serbian and Croatian or Moldovan and Romanian, both pairs of languages written in Latin and Cyrilic.

[ha-Safran]: Yiddish
I must apologize for my post on Yiddish, which offended so many. Clearly, I do not know enough about Yiddish to have expressed any opinion on the matter, and I probably mis-remembered what I was told years ago when I was in graduate school. Of course Yiddish and German are not the same; the kindest thing that can be said about my post is that it was a vast overgeneralization of a broad linguistic principle, and I regret clicking the send button on that one. From now on I will keep my uninformed thoughts on such matters to myself, where they belong. To all those who were offended, please accept my sincere apology.
