Of course you are right, Eulalia. But I have to confess when I read the post first, that after 2 books with the name "Berenstain Bears" it was only a name without any meaning to me. That it rings jewish didn´t occur to me.Hm - I suppose you can read it another way,
but the sort of camp kids named Berenstain might have been going off to
is beyond a joke.
Yes, it may just be chance that Bernstein is familiar to me as a Jewish name,Of course you are right, Eulalia. But I have to confess when I read the post first, that after 2 books with the name "Berenstain Bears" it was only a name without any meaning to me. That it rings jewish didn´t occur to me.
I am so sorry, no offence was intended and I honestly, I swear, never thought of it that way. I was scrambling around this morning and didn't take time to think. But you are, of course, right, Eulalia, if seen that way, it goes off far beyond a bad joke. Perhaps you should delete it.Hm - I suppose you can read it another way,

I do post too much without thinking (and maybe too much in total). I need to step back and be much more careful.
Again, I am most sorry to any offended.

People frequently mispronounce/misspell the name as "Berenstein", probably because names ending in "stein" are a lot more common than "stain". According to his son, Stan Berenstain had this problem his whole life beginning in elementary school. Stan Berenstain, who created the series with his wife Jan, was born Stanley Melvin Berenstain and was raised Jewish; so the original family name may have been Berenstein.Yes, it may just be chance that Bernstein is familiar to me as a Jewish name,

No harm PrPr, I don't think we need delete it - it's prompted a little bit of sensible discussion,I am so sorry, no offence was intended and I honestly, I swear, never thought of it that way.
