[edit] Kissin

The URLs mention reciations but no actual recordings.Galassi 20:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It mentions a film. You could reword it in whatever way but why removing? Kissin published in the New York Yiddish-language newspaper Forverts, he is a well-known fan of Yiddish and adds to Yiddish entried in Russian wiki, FYU.--SimulacrumDP 20:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mogulesko

Why the removal of Zlata Pole? Slavic name seems equally relevant for that period. - Jmabel | Talk 01:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a great deal of information on him on the web in Russian and some in Yiddish/Hebrew. Most of the sources name Kalarash as his birthplace (including a very detailed history of the Jewish Theater in Odessa by Eugene Binevich and several articles about Kalarash that mention him as famous landsman); also Russian Jewish Encyclopedia (v. 2, p. 302) gives Kalarash. However, a very comprehensive volume Bessarabia (1971) in Hebrew (available here, p. 892, cites Kishinev as his birthplace. I'm not sure where this info about Zlata Pole is coming from, it's not mentioned in these sources. --SimulacrumDP 02:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

So it's not just a Russian name for the same place? (For what it's worth, it means Golden Field, or something to that effect). - Jmabel | Talk 04:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

No, Kalarash is the Russian name (and internationally used in the past - there are quite a few Klezmer pieces named Kalarash, Kalarasher shtikale, etc.); besides Mogulesco a contemporary Yiddish singer Samson Kemelmakher and late American thinker Hayim Greenberg are from Kalarash. I think there was a village called Zlatopol' (or Zlatopole) across the river (i.e. Dniester) in the former Podolsky gubernia (now Southern Ukraine), maybe it even still exists under some other name. As to Mogulesco (whose real name was reportedly Mogilevsky), he was likely born in Kalarash, but settled in Kishinev early on (as you write), so some people assumed he was born in Kishinev. It turns out his trouppe was very popular in Southern Russia (Bessarabia, Odessa region), as well as Romania late XIX century and he was one of the best known Yiddish actors. I'll try to add some info to your entry in April and will write a Russian version (I've already written exactly 100 articles in Russian wiki on Yiddish writers from Bessarabia, Romania and Southern Ukraine, so I took a brief respite and plan to create some English versions of those) --SimulacrumDP 18:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
