This Web site is a total delight for anyone interested in authentic Yiddish radio. The same radio our grandparents and parents listened to when they came over from the "old country."

Megillah family member, Phil Halpern brought to my attention a particular segment of this marvelous site that is absolutely hilarious and typical of the culture at the time.  It is a collection of original Yiddish commercials, with simultaneous English translation.  The link to this must-see site is: http://www.yiddishradioproject.org/exhibits/commercials/commercials.php3?pg=4

Visit, stay a while and have a ball.

Michael
