RE: [Cz-L] Czernowitzers in categories.

And like with hotels, the stars can be deceiving. Your five stars just described a "Yecke" with some knowledge of Yiddish and Rumanian.(I doubt Rumanian is significant)
Reminds of my first year in Israel. After being Jewish all my life I was promoted to a Russian, a Rumanian, an Austrian and, finally,a Galitzianer.
But I do like your sense of humor.
Two weeks ago I was invited for Shabbat to my daughter-in-law's cousin. Their grandparents came from Khotin. Later the host's classmate from Venezuela with Czernowitzer roots joined us. That was fun to watch two young men to make fun about Things that "Czernowitzer". As you can see it is a very small "Bukoviner welt"
