Dear all,

This is a poll to find out how many among my fellow Czernowitzer specialists

in Yiddish and its folklore know the meaning of the expression "Wie ba (bei,

in German) der Rebetzin in Bett" and more importantly, what is the
background for that expression.
Hopefully, by the end of next week, I'll analyse the results and provide you

my comments.

Regards, Abraham K.
