    "description": "This is a popular Yiddish dictionary. It gives detailed definitions, as well as applications from literature or theater. It is written by Leo Rosten, who wrote the best-selling JOYS OF YIDDISH.\nYiddish is a language of Ashkenazic Jews, or those who lived in central Europe. It is an interesting language because, in itself, it is bi-lingual--it uses Germanic words, with Hebrew letters. (I dare say, it is an easier way to learn Hebrew than a Hebrew text!) Yiddish was especially prominent in Jewish entertainment in the 1920s-1950s. There was the Yiddish theater, and there were Yiddish radio programs. (Imagine \"Yes, We Have No Bananas\" sung in Yiddish!)",
