Yiddish Wisdom: Humor and Heart from the Old Country Kindle Edition

by Chronicle Books (Author), Christopher Silas Neal (Illustrator), Rae Meltzer (Introduction) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (83)
"The tongue is the pen of the heart/Di tsung iz der feder fun di hartz" and more sayings that sum up Jewish character and culture from generations past.
Decade after decade, Yiddish proverbs continue to capture the humor, warmth, and traditions of Jewish life. Now, the beloved Yiddish Wisdom has been expanded with even more proverbs and fresh illustrations to be cherished by a new generation. With more than 150 folk sayings translated in Yiddish and English—from the whimsical and witty (Dress up a broom and it will also look nice/Az men batziert a bezem iz er oich shain) to the poignant (When one must, one can/Az me muz, ken men) and practical (When you look to the heights, hold on to your hat/Az du kukst oif hoicheh zachen, halt tsu dos hitl)—this treasured volume is the perfect gift for any celebration.

    I bought this because I liked the illustrations on the front cover but there are lots of little pearls of wisdom inside too. I keep it on the dresser in the kitchen because it looks so pretty. It would make a great gift too.

    He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool, avoid him.
    He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is a student, teach him.
    He who knows and knows that he knows is enlightened, learn from him.
