Helpful Score: 1

This is not just a book of Yiddish phrases. It is an in-depth study of the ways that the Yiddish language has been influenced and in turn has influenced Jewish culture. Wex has a delightful way of incorporating humor, history, and serious scholarship into his narrative, so that the reader learns a ton on every page while being greatly entertained.
