		Al Madansky 4)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue Jun 14 17:18:59 1994 From: hugo@monster.apd.saic.com Subject: Shabbatai Zvi I'm sure that most Mendelniks have heard of Shabbatai Zvi, the false messiah who lived in Salonika and Smyrna in the 17th century.
		His "colorful" story is well known around the Sephardic world and is a subject of literature in Ladino.
		I'm curious to know whether Shabbatai's fame spread to the Ashkenazic realm either during his lifetime or soon afterwards, and whether any mention of him is found in Yiddish literature.

		As in the case of Shabtai Zvi, suddenly what was forbidden is permitted, the fast of Tisha B'Av becomes a feast.
