[Cz-L] Czernowitz Yiddish expressions and more

I would like to add my voice to those who want this List to be
more than just about genealogy and History, if by history we mean
big political, economical or "Cultural " events. History is also
social history and cultural history (the way of life, thinking
and behavior of a group).

For those of us who lived in Czernowitz, writing and reading
about the expressions we used, the dishes we ate, the jokes we heard,
Is part nostalgia and part trying to both learn and instruct others
about a way of life which we do not want to be forgotten.

Occasionally, these reminiscences and discussions, do veer off subject,
or go on so long that they bore many of the members of the list.
I have no suggestions as to how to avoid this, except that those
participating in such detailed discussions, use restraint and after
a while continue their discussions privately.
