Because I use one or ...The plight of the Hungarian! Because I use one or two flowery Yiddish words in my conversation, people (Poilish, American, Yekke) assume that I am chassidish. Then I go on and on explaining that Satmar was NOT in Hungary proper, but in Romania, and that Hungary did not have a prominent chassidish population. Because the current world tends to parse itself into chassidish, yeshivish, or modern, that leaves us Hungarian lassies at a disadvantage. <br /><br />Szol a kakos mar! Sing it with me! <br /><br />But, as I always say in times like this, it is all bashert. You cannot help what (1) people say about you or (2) what other people choose to hear. It could be these people chose to misinterpret. <br /><br />One time it came back to me that a reference totally botched the job, and we were so angry. Years later I ended up going out with the guy, and you know what? TOTALLY not shayach. If it is bashert, you'll bump into him anyway when the time is right.
