The series, written and narrated by Forverts editor Rukhl Schaechter, aims to give non-Yiddish speakers an introduction to familiar Yiddish words and phrases and how they might be used in everyday situations.
Schaechter, who was appointed the new editor of the Forverts in 2016, is the first woman to helm the paper in its 119-year history, its first editor to have been born in the United States, and likely its first editor who is shomeret Shabbat.
We posted the first of this series in May 2020. Now that the Forverts is continuing the series, we'll continue sharing some of the words and phrases as a regular feature of Jewish Humor Central.
Today we get to learn the Yiddish words and phrases to describe little things.
Enjoy!

Rukhl Schaechter is doing a nice job at teaching the Jewish-Ashkenazi lashon Hakodesh. It gives me a flashback at my Mom in my young years. Thank you
