Congratulations, you speak Yiddish! Well, maybe not fully, but the odds are good that you’ve spoken it before, maybe without even realizing it. English is sprinkled with Yiddish phrases. (Quick Yiddish vs Jewish<\/a> explanation).
\nGo to Einstein\u2019s Bagels, and you use Yiddish to order a bagel and a schmear of cream cheese. If you trip over a crack in the sidewalk and call yourself a klutz, you\u2019re using a Yiddish word to describe your clumsiness. 1970\u2019s sitcom characters LaVerne and Shirley used the words schlemiel and schlamazel (inept and unlucky) in their opening credits, though neither woman was remotely Jewish.<\/p>\n

Sometimes a Yiddish word is just what the doctor ordered. So Dr. Michelle decided to make this quick video featuring 5 handy Yiddish words that her\u00a0Gentile Christian pals can use at church. Can you\u00a0work these words into your conversation this Sunday? Bonus points for gesturing with your hands when you talk \u2013 like I tried not to do but was not entirely successful. Enjoy the video and the book!<\/em><\/p>\n
