Yes- that does help; I haven't really had a chance to read the other posts yet so that I can grasp the complexities. Have had other things going on. Thanks, Sue -----Original Message----- From: nynewyor-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nynewyor-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Soyamaven@aol.com Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 7:15 PM To: nynewyor@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYNEWYOR] duh question Sue, As previously posted, all the boroughs (there are 5 of them since 1898) are part of New York City, but because the USPS slices and dices New York City into 7+ "postal cities", the majority of places in New York City have an other than a "New York, NY" mailing address even though they are in New York City. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5769, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, the two-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Rosh ha Shannah (Lev. 23:23-25) will begin at sunset on Monday, September 29 on the civil calendar. ************************************* Jim Garrity, List Administrator jimgarrity@earthlink.net ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYNEWYOR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
