I ran across a book today, that I just had to tell you about. It’s written by Daniel Klein, who figured that Yiddish needed an update to make it more conducive in modern times.  He penned “Schmegoogle: Yiddish Words for Modern Times,” which contains 200 new terms rooted in real Yiddish, accompanied by funny use-it-in-a-sentence examples and entertaining etymology.

Thanks to Daniel Klein for our Yiddish Word Of The Week.
