The New Joys of Yiddish
Author: Leo Rosten
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307566048
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
More than a quarter of a century ago, Leo Rosten published the first comprehensive and hilariously entertaining lexicon of the colorful and deeply expressive language of Yiddish. Said “to give body and soul to the Yiddish language,” The Joys of Yiddish went on to become an indispensable tool for writers, journalists, politicians, and students, as well as a perennial bestseller for three decades. Rosten described his book as “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–the whole generously garnished with stories, anecdotes, epigrams, Talmudic quotations, folk sayings, and jokes.” To this day, it is considered the seminal work on Yiddish in America–a true classic and a staple in the libraries of Jews and non-Jews alike. With the recent renaissance of interest in Yiddish, and in keeping with a language that embodies the variety and vibrancy of life itself, The New Joys of Yiddish brings Leo Rosten’s masterful work up to date. Revised for the first time by Lawrence Bush in close consultation with Rosten’s daughters, it retains the spirit of the original–with its wonderful jokes, tidbits of cultural history, Talmudic and Biblical references, and tips on pronunciation–and enhances it with hundreds of new entries, thoughtful commentary on how Yiddish has evolved over the years, and an invaluable new English-to-Yiddish index. In addition, The New Joys of Yiddish includes wondrous and amusing illustrations by renowned artist R.O. Blechman.

MESHIAKH
Author: Yokhanah
Publisher: Writers Republic LLC
ISBN: 1646206819
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Yeshua HaMashiakh (Jesus the Christ) is the Jewish Messiah (Meshiakh) sent to live among us by Almighty G-D, called many Names in all of Earth's religions. G-D is Creator of Life on Planet Earth, Universal LifeForce/Spark of Energy found in plants and animals alike, and Karmic Soul Donor to Homo sapiens, giving Human Beings dominion and responsibility for all Life on this planet. Meshiakh was prophesied to be born to a virgin in the lineage of Isa'ak, son of AvRaham, his bloodline coming through Judah and King David. Yeshua was sent to minister to his own, yet be rejected and scorned, a man of sorrows, his Soul a Light to the Gentiles. After he gave his life as Y'ho-vah’s final blood sacrifice, Angels sang a New Song of his Holy Ghost, Who is alive today. This book concentrates on Yeshua's words and actions, giving us blueprints for our own lives, and even though we can never be as perfect and loving as he was, we must not stop trying to love and care for others, in service to others as to our own Gifts and abilities. There are many things about the Christian Bible that few Christians know, especially since "all things Jewish" have been discarded through the centuries. The Epilogue at the end of the book is simply personal perception.

God, Man, and Devil
Author: Nahma Sandrow
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815628161
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
An anthology of five Yiddish plays in translation—all written by well-known playwrights in the first quarter of the twentieth century—God, Man, and Devil also includes two independent scenes, which in Nahma Sandrow's words, "show off the raucous characteristic of Yiddish theater, especially in popular performance." The settings of the plays range widely—a luxurious parlor, a haunted graveyard, a farmyard, a sweatshop on strike, a subway, and the boardwalk of Atlantic City. They are both comic and mournful, and reflect expressionism, satire, fantasy, farce, suspense, and romance. But all consider the same question: what makes life morally good and worth living? Before the modern Yiddish secular culture evolved as we know it today, Yiddish plays were being written for about a century. As Yiddish-speaking communities flourished, so did their love for theater. "Yiddish playwrights shared their experiences and made them art." Edited to make them more accessible for both reading and performance, each play is accompanied by an introduction, which provides historical context, production histories, and elucidation of references.
