Mirrer Yeshiva, 1930's
To help the downtrodden
whom many have forgotten
Azah shayneh mayseh
procurement of a "shmaytsa"
kindle the rischa d'oraysa
Ven a yid zitst uhn lerent uhn zayn hartz vert farbrent
Uhn ehr batracht zich in dem in der Dvar Hashem
Mir darfen nisht gleiben az ehr iz geven der "Ge'an HaG'eynim"
Der vus iz geven tzu zehn di gantza bren
Vee ehr hot gezugt Teyre mit a teefereh havoneh a bechinah fuhn aish sh'chayroh al gaby levonoh
A member of the "Bund"
didn't know a kutzo shel yud
Saw a 'mar'eh' that was awseome
a shiur that was thundersome
Was brought to tears
over all those lost years
Ah shod af di tzeyt
and with all of his might
learned through the night
When the night was gone
his neshamah moved on
and he was gone
( - by Maybe a Litvak, 2009)

Fat chance! Maybe if Maybe can find out who the Ketzos Hashulchan was, he can write a poem about him as well...
Maybe keeps it right next to his set of the Graz's Shulchan Aruch
When was the last time you opened if, if ever? Chaval
I was zeycheh to learn some of the Aler Rebbe's nigleh today. Laybe der Bashefer
Bialik learned for one zeman in Volozhin, learned through most of Kesuvos with Tosafos.
I do not understand some of the transliterations are echte Litvishe and other transliterated words are echte galitzianer-Hungarische.
Whats this ?
Maybe a Litvak maybe not ?
Maybe if MAL didn't keep coming accross as such a brainwashed creep, people could take him a bit seriously. Maybe invest in a pair of bi-focals.... even if your self-proclaimed 'gaon hador' couldn't manage it.
"even if your self-proclaimed 'gaon hador' couldn't manage it."
