The Joys of Yiddish

Item date(s): 1969

Leo Rosten




Place publication: New York
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Book Co

Additional notes:
A relaxed lexicon of Yiddish, Hebrew and yinglish words often encounted in English, plus dozens that ought to be, with serendipitious excurtions into Jewish humour, habits, holidays, history, religion, ceremonies, folklore and cusine: the whole generously garnished with stories, anecdotes, epigrams, Talmudic quotations, folk sayings and jokes - from the days of the Bible to those of the beatnik.
