suggested correction to displayed spelling of a name
May I respectfully point out that the listed spelling of the name Mendel is incorrect. The name, as written and as pronounced in Yiddish is Mendl. There is no (Hebrew letter) Aien following the Dalet. And there is no "e" sound following the d sound when the name is spoken. "Mendel" is a distortion of the name.
