Schaechter, who was appointed the new editor of the Forverts in 2016, is
the first woman to helm the paper in its 119-year history, its first
editor to have been born in the United States, and likely its first editor
who is shomeret Shabbat.
We posted the
first
of this series in May 2020. Now that the Forverts is continuing the
series, we're
sharing some of the words and phrases as a regular feature of
Jewish Humor Central.
Today we'll look at the Yiddish words for righteous people and some proverbs based on them.
Enjoy!

Your "Yiddish word of the day" is excellent, and very enjoyable to see and hear old familiar words and phrases - and, unfortunately, realize how much we've forgotten
ReplyDeleteHowever, it would be a great help if, during the review part of the presentation, Mrs. Schaechter would not only post the Yiddish word on the screen for us to repeat, but also show the English meaning right underneath. That will surely help us remember as, so many times, I'll repeat the Yiddish word but have already forgotten its meaning .................. Thank you
