About the book

"A cheerful lexicon of Yiddish words which have become part of the English language, plus English words and phrases which have been trasformed into Yinglish; the whole garnished with stories, jokes, parables, reverent quotations from the Talmud and a glittering gallery of writers, rabbis, sages wits, with impulsive side trips into faith, folklore, genious and history of the Jews-- from their servitude in Babylon to their magnitude in Beverly Hills."
