תיאור:
The Joys of Yiddish, Leo Rosten does for the Yiddish language what Cezanne did for the apple, gives it a body and soul and typically adds an affectionate and witty vision. 534 pages. This book is a relaxed lexicon of Yiddish, Hebrew and Yinglish words often encountered in English plus dozens that ought to be, with serendipitous excursions into Jewish humor, habits, holidays, history, religion, ceremonies, folklore, and cuisine and it is generously garnished with stoires, anecdotes, epigrams, Talmudic quotations, folk sayings, and jokes.
There is also a hard cover edition of this book, price NIS 100.
