If you grew up in a Jewish household, then it is likely that you already use Yiddish words in everyday conversation. Words like kvell and schvitz are probably just as much a part of your everyday vernacular as hello and good-bye. And if you don’t know your keppies from your punims, it’s never too late to learn a few basic words.
Join Rabbi Neal Rose, neighbors, friends and community members whether you speak, understand or just want to learn.
All are encouraged and welcome to participate.
