A delightful compendium of Yiddish vocabulary that has seamlessly integrated into the English language, alongside English words and phrases that have been influenced by Yiddish, all adorned with entertaining anecdotes, humorous jokes, insightful parables, and profound quotations from the Talmud. This enchanting collection also features a dazzling array of writers, rabbis, sages, and wits, with spontaneous detours into matters of faith, folklore, genius, and the rich history of the Jewish people—from their days of servitude in Babylon to their prominence in the illustrious neighborhood of Beverly Hills.
