[Membroj] Sholem Aleichem & Zamenhof

[quillpower at cox.net]

Again, thanks for the idea.  Two kindred (and contemporary) spirits
fiddling on the roof!  

Also, interesting observation:  "Too bad there is no Wikipedia entry for
Sholem Aleichem in Esperanto."  I can't think of anyone better to fill that
gap than you, Ralph!

Subject: [Membroj] Sholem Aleichem & Zamenhof


A childhood friend of mine, with whom I learned 
Esperanto as teenagers, pointed out to me that 
this is also Sholem Aleichem's sequicentennial.

Wikipedia lists his birthdate as follows:

Sholem Aleichem, (Yiddish: , Russian: - , 
Ukrainian: - ; March 2 [O.S. February 18] 1859 – 
May 13, 1916) was the pen name of Sholem Naumovich Rabinovich . . .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sholem_Aleichem

Note that his life span almost exactly matches Zamenhof's (1859-1917).

Other comparisons, as well as the possibility of 
capitalizing on both these birthdays at once, are worth pondering.

Too bad there is no Wikipedia entry for Sholem Aleichem in Esperanto.
