    Behold, the evolution of a myth:

    Hapsburg Lip ---> Hippy Lip Annie ---> Israel Schwartz ---> Isaac Kozebrodski ---> Israel Lip-ski

    No takers?

        My take.

        Hello Gareth. Thanks.

        Lovely--but where shall I take it? (heh-heh)

        Cheers.

          The title of this thread is a bit like the old question: "When did you stop beating your wife?"
          I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

            There were Russian and Polish Jews who were members of the club too. Surely the fact that the 'Arbeter Fraint' was published in Yiddish shows that Yiddish was the lingua franca among the Jewish population of the East End at that time.
