Yiddish Sayings Mama Never Taught You
Yiddish Sayings Mama Never Taught You
"A cute and charming addition to Yiddish folklore."
-I.B. Singer, Nobel Prize, 1978
"Juicy, savory, spicy."
-Henry Miller
The Yiddish sayings in this book have been praised by such world-acclaimed writers as Henry Miller and Isaac Bashevis Singer. They should equally delight all who can appreciate the coarse, wry humor of the turn-of-the-century European shtetl, which gave rise to so much of American humor as well.
Some may be offended by their sexuality and lewdness, but they expose the basic humanity of a lost Jewish culture. For too long eydlkayt - refinement - has drawn a curtain over the smutty side of the shtetl. Enjoyable folklore, funny sayings you'll find yourself using in quite modern situations.
