New Name, New Header

Hey readers! As should be obvious, I've decided to change the name of my blog as well as redo my header image to match.

So what is Yenemvelt?

Yenemvelt is a Yiddish word loaded with meaning and nuance. Strictly speaking, it's generally translated as "other world" with alternate romanized spellings as yenne velt, yenemsvelt, and yenevelt. But it's more than that, and highly dependent on context. In general conversation it can be used in a few ways:

1) as a way to say "you're off in your own land" or too lost in your own reality, or

2) as a way to refer to "the middle of nowhere" or somewhere so far away as to be inconvenient.

However, I prefer the third way: as a reference to somewhere far off, imaginative, and full of magic. When used in this way, yenemvelt is an evocative way to talk about the mystery of lands unknown. In this context, you can see why I like it so much.

That is, ultimately, what I want this blog to be - an exploration into another world, the yenemvelt.
