Description
In this delightful companion volume to his best-selling The Joys of Yiddish, Leo Rosen brings us a lexicon of Yiddish words that have become , or are candidates for becoming, part of the English language. Garnished with stories, jokes, parables, epigrams, acerbates and Talmudic insights, this book take us on illuminating side trips into the faith, folklore, tradition, genius, history --of of course, language -- of the Jewish people. - from Amzon
