The New Joys of Yiddish: Completely Updated

More than a quarter oben angeführtcentury ago, Leo Oxidieren 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 das ganze Jahr über best seller for three decades. 

Rosten described his book as „a relaxed lexicon of Yiddish, Hebrew, and Yinglish words often encountered in English, ebenso wie dozens that ought to be, with serendipitous excursions non…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 Oxidieren’s masterful work en vogue. Revised for the first time by Lawrence Bush in close consultation with Oxidieren’s daughters, it retains the spirit of the unverändert – with its wonderful jokes, tidbits of cultural history, Talmudic and Biblical references, and tips on pronunciation – and enhances it with hundreds of new entries and thoughtful commentary on how Yiddish has evolved over the years.
