YANKEV-BOREKH
VAYNSHTOK
He was born in Mihalovits,
Hungary. He published a book entitled Zeykher yankev, oder yidishe byografye
(To the member of Jacob, or Jewish biography), “a world history from Adam to
our times,” “recent history and notable occurrences, cited from Hebrew texts
and translated into the Judeo-German language” (Sighet-Marmației, 1901), 98 pp. Another Vaynshtok in 1888-1892 published in
Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca) a biweekly paper in Yiddish (or
Judeo-German) called Kol mevaser
(Herald), organ of ritual slaughterers, filled almost entirely with the
quarrels among the Hungarian ritual slaughteres.
