A bissel Yiddish


Durchlernen gantz shas iz a groisseh zach: durch lernen ain mideh iz a gressereh zach.  

To learn the whole Talmud is  a great accomplishment; to learn one good virtue is even greater.

(Besides a good quote, I always loved Yiddish.  I was thinking that perhaps each Wednesday, in addition to or in place of the typical quotes, I would quote a nice Yiddish proverb.  Let me know your thoughts.)

    I like that idea, seems like there are a lot of insightful things we can learn from Yiddish phrases – even though I will have to skip to the translation!

      No, don’t skip to the translation. That is why I would only do it once a week; to give you a chance to learn it. Plus, bubbi will be so proud.

    I don’t understand Yiddish, I’m actually Sefardi as well, however, a translation would be good.
    By the way, good job on your daily posts, love em…
