I think I have her phone number. Thanks for the ideas as always, Ilana-Davita.

Then I think questions will flow in more easily. Concerning the woman who visited the grave of rebbe Nachman (I suppose during Rosh Hashanah) I'd definitely ask her what it was like to be one of the only women present, I'd like to know how the men reacted to her presence (if they did), if she would advise other women to go, why she went in the first place (maybe this should come before the other ones). Last year some of my students interviewed Rochelle Krich via email. I wrote a post about this too. Here it is: http://ilanadavita.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/chesed-rochelle-krich/ As I said in the post, I can email the interview, I wasn't sure it was right to post it directly so I didn't.

An email interview. I'll need to dig it up. He once told us he tried learning "standard" ancient languages, like Old German, but that didn't interest him as much as Old Welsh or whatever else he knows. His wife is my doctor, and I'm going to her office today. I'll find out what he's up to lately. Mark was interviewed once in the New York Times. An email interview. I’ll need to dig it up.

I'd ask him about how he got interested in the Shomronim, and their language. Has he ever visited them in Israel (Har Greizim and in Holon)? Did StarTrek influence him to learn other languages or was he already language-proficient before he taught himself "Klingon"? I'm sure there are some great posts out there on the art of interviewing. I'll see if I can find any. Thanks for the link. Regards! --jameel Wow…interviewing Mark Shoulson would be fascinating!
