{"product_id":"yiddish-you-say-nu-a-yiddish-wordbook-9780930012656","title":"Yiddish, you say? Nu?: A Yiddish Wordbook","description":"A vocabulary of Yiddish terms, common expressions, and proverbs. Many Yiddish terms have entered the English language, describing character or emotion (usually displeasure) that have no ready equivalent, such as klutz, kvetch, shmoose, or kibbitz. Yiddish as a language grew out of Medieval German and Hebrew, and spread through Eastern Europe among Ashkenazi Jews. With the worldwide spread of Jewry in many countries, Yiddish plays two roles: as a language unto itself, and as a \"lending\" language for terms and attitudes about business, sexuality, or human relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sasha Newborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mudborn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780930012656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe editor, Sasha Newborn, lived in New York City for several years, and has been a small publisher (Mudborn Press, Bandanna Books, Beta Books) for forty years, now living in Santa Barbara.
