SUMMARY

More than a quarter of a century ago, Leo Rosten published the first comprehensive & hilariously entertaining lexicon of the colorful & deeply expressive language of Yiddish. It quickly established itself as a classic bestseller & an indispensable tool for writers, journalists, politicians & students. To this day the book is considered the seminal work on Yiddish -- a true classic & a staple in the libraries of Jews & non-Jews alike. This book brings Rosten's work up to date. Revised for the first time by Lawrence Bush, it retains the spirit of the original -- with its wonderful jokes, tidbits of cultural history, Talmudic & Biblical references, & tips on pronunciation -- & enhances it with 100s of new entries & an invaluable new English-to-Yiddish index.Rosten, Leo is the author of 'New Joys of Yiddish', published 2005 under ISBN 9780756796747 and ISBN 0756796741.
