WHAT WOULD THE VISHNITZ REBBA SAY? Caraid O'Brien is big-boned Irish lass, Roman Catholic, and an expert at Yiddish - especially the old Yiddish plays that "teem with sex, crime, incest, adultry, abortion and sacrilege." Oh my. Read about her and her work (but hurry: these links expire quickly, and the Vishnitz Rebba has dope, spookey powers) in today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/03/arts/03cair.html
