This is not a book about Yiddish, a dictionary of Yiddish or a guide to Yiddish. Rather, it's a celebration of how English has been influenced and enriched by Yiddish. A collection of words that already, are becoming or should be part of English, they're arranged in Yiddish alphabetical order with unqiue definitions that come from oral traditions, the Talmud, and modern-day usage. 458 indexed pages, softcover.
