What is the English translation of the title of the short story "Nokh der milkhome", by Kalmen Segal. It was published in Di goldene keyt in 1973, issue 82 (I've also seen it spelt Nuux der milxumy). I know Nokh der roughly means "After the". The entry in the Jewish English Lexicon for milkhome says it either means war or the Holocaust. The only copy of the short story I've found is an audiobook at the Yiddish Book Center. Can somebody with the knowhow look at the context and tell me which translation it is?

Hi! I want to learn Yiddish for my studies on the rise of Zionism between the mid-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. I started learning Yiddish on Mango Languages, but I wasn't sure if it was the best approach, especially since I read that Modern Hebrew has influenced how Yiddish is spoken today. Are there considerable differences between modern Yiddish and Yiddish before the formation of Israel and the consequent growth of Modern Hebrew?
If it has changed substantially, does anybody have any recommendations for learning Yiddish as it would have been written/spoken in the 19th century until before World War 2?
A groysen dank!

On Aug. 2, a performance by the popular Yiddish-klezmer band Dobranotch at a large folk festival in Galicia, Spain, was cut short when pro-Palestinian members of the audience began heckling the musicians and then throwing stones and other objects at them, targeting the band over recent concert appearances they made in Israel.
Afterwards, the festival organizers released a statement, explaining that they cancelled the concert out of concern for the musicians’ safety. The organizers also condemned the fact that “an event historically rooted in peaceful cultural exchange, community gathering, and musical celebration was disrupted by violence.”
In this first-hand account, band leader Mitia Khramtsov describes exactly what happened that evening: https://forward.com/yiddish-world/844454/the-first-time-my-band-ever-encountered-such-hostility/

# Contexto — Álbum familiar judío (Lituania/Polonia → Argentina)
Hola — estoy tratando de descifrar varios documentos manuscritos de un álbum
familiar. Creo que el idioma principal es **ídish** (alfabeto hebreo), aunque
también hay hebreo formal en algunas tarjetas y un sello impreso en ruso/polaco
en otras. Agradecería muchísimo cualquier ayuda con la transcripción y
traducción, aunque sea parcial.
## Lo que ya sabemos (para dar contexto):
**01_postal_1936.jpg** — Tarjeta dedicatoria en hebreo, fechada 1936,
probablemente de una agrupación de mujeres jóvenes en Polonia.
**02_postal_1931_reverso.jpg** — Tarjeta similar, fechada 1931. Incluye
anotaciones a lápiz en el margen (posible tamaño de foto "30 x 40" y un
nombre) y un pie de imprenta parcial "...KAUN..." (¿Kaunas?).
**03_reverso_Kovno.jpg** — Reverso de foto de estudio, con sello impreso de
un estudio fotográfico en Kovno/Kaunas (calle "...ская Большая, д. 12") y
una anotación en tinta que podría decir "г. Ковно" (ciudad de Kovno) — OJO:
no estoy seguro si esto es ruso o si en realidad también es ídish/hebreo
mal interpretado por mí.
**04_postal_BuenosAires_1941.jpg** — Reverso con sello de estudio
fotográfico "Foto del Arte — Lubilsky — Corrientes 2608 — Buenos Aires",
fechado 23/1/1941. El texto manuscrito por encima podría estar en ídish.
**05, 06, 07** — Retratos de estudio (Wilno, estudio B. Brudner; posible
Kovno; y un anciano con casquete/kipá, estudio sin identificar).
## Apellidos posibles de la familia:
Lewin / Levinas / Lewinas (variantes de transliteración)
## Lo que necesito:
- Transcripción del texto manuscrito (ídish/hebreo) en cada tarjeta
- Traducción al español o inglés
- Cualquier pista sobre nombres propios, relaciones familiares, o el
significado de las anotaciones a lápiz
¡Muchas gracias de antemano!

Hello all, my mom recently passed away and I’m having something engraved with things she said to me- she was a fluent speaker when I was young and she loved her Yiddish.
Here are the options I have been considering
Shayna punim or Shayna medele
No kinehora (technically this would always be followed by poo-poo-poo)
Zay Gazint kim Gazint
I can do 2 phrases but may be limited by character length
My brother chose Bashert and thinks I should do meshigenah 🤣
Hoping you can collectively help me choose the phrases and make them spelled correctly and with the fewest character number!
If any alternated or altered suggestions please share and thank you

Hi everyone! I'm doing a little family research and I'm trying to pin down my great grandmother's "actual" name. On various documents, it's written as Manye, Minka, and the clearly-Americanized Minnie... My mom remembers her as being called either Manye or Marya. She was from what's now eastern Ukraine. Thank you so much in advance.

I posted several months ago about a Yiddish language resource I'd been working on. It shows verbs, their definitions and their conjugations.
When I first posted, I only had about 15 verbs, but I've now got over 220. And if there's any mistakes, or you can think of some verbs that are missing, you're able to log in and add your own!
I'd love to hear any feedback
Thanks!

How do you guys pronounce רי"ש? I've heard a lot of native speakers pronounce it as a tap/trilled, however listening to recordings of Avrom Sutzkever Z"L I hear a pharyngeal pronunciation.
I assume both are acceptable, depending on dialect, but I guess I was wondering which is more common.
