[Membroj] Zamenhof, Jews, and the Making of Esperanto

[quillpower at cox.net]

It's more than a bit of a schlep from here to Amherst!  I'd still consider
making the sxlepego, though.  

Of course Steve Brewer lives and works in Amherst.

 From the ELNA site. Would anyone from the DC area attend this event?

Zamenhof, Jews, and the Making of Esperanto

I would love to attend this program, but it's a bit of a schlep from 
north Jersey.

The Spring 2009 issue of Pakn Treger, published by the National 
Yiddish Book Center, in Amherst, MA, has listed the following in its
calendar:

Sunday, October 25th - Talk
The Universal Language: Zamenhof, Jews and the Making of Esperanto
Esther Schor, author, poet, and professor of English at Princeton 
University explores the Esperanto movement, invented by L.L. 
Zemenhof, in 1887, as a modern, emancipated Jew's answer to an 
ancient quandary; how might language itself be used to promote 
understanding among nations and peoples?

2:00 p.m. Cost: $6
