The "Hochschule fuer Juedische Studien Heidelberg" (Staatlich

Juden in Deutschland) does exist in Friedrichstrasse 9, D-69117
Heidelberg, phone *49 62 21 /2 25 76 since the winter term
1979/80 and will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 1999. Its web
address is <http://129.206.242.30/>
and it provides its history also in English. I hope it will help
to trace the informatiion required.

We will be visiting Israel in two weeks and would love to contact an old
friend who made Aliah, but don't know which city he moved to. Can any
Jewish Genner in Israel look into their phone books and see if they can
find Jack & Rose HOFFMITZ for us.
Shana Tova to all,

Has anybody successfully located a list of NYC teachers

I would speculate that they are Polish/Yiddish versions of two Hebrew names:

(1) Malkha =Queen
(2) Rahel=Rachel

The "ele" ending is a diminutive in Yiddish.

Mildred and Rose and to Maryann and Roberta, and to Mostanyname and

People may chose new names in the country of residence, or adapt old names,
but they are not "equivalent" except for the person who bears them.

==Malkiele MAY be a diminuitive of the Yiddish kinnuy of one
called in Hebrew: Malka (Queen.). The other name may be a
misspelling for the Yiddish Roiseleh ("little rose"). Jewish
women in Europe generally got by with a kinnuy and were frequently
not given a specific Hebrew name. Rose is popularly believed to
be a transdation of the Hebrew Shoshanna. That is incorrect:
Shoshanna is a lily. Vered is a rose is a rose is a rose.
