Download or read book Yiddish Sayings Mama Never Taught You written by Gershon Weltman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A cute and charming addition to Yiddish folklore." -I.B. Singer, Nobel Prize, 1978 "Juicy, savory, spicy." -Henry Miller The Yiddish sayings in this book have been praised by such world-acclaimed writers as Henry Miller and Isaac Bashevis Singer. They should equally delight all who can appreciate the coarse, wry humor of the turn-of-the-century European shtetl, which gave rise to so much of American humor as well.
