Surfing the internet can result in some unexpected surprises, and that's what we encountered today in discovering a new comedy series called A Minute of Yiddish with Cookie Kibitznik (Her Royal Thighness).
Unlike the educational Yiddish Word of the Day series which we have been running for the last few months, this one focuses on the comedy inherent in the use of Yiddish words in everyday English speech.
These videos, which we are starting to share with you today, are produced and acted out by a woman who reveals only her first name, Perri. In today's video and other that we will be sharing in the coming weeks, she assumes the identity of Cookie Kibitznik, a yenta if we ever saw won.
In each episode Cookie will explain a Yiddish word and show many funny examples of its use in spoken Yinglish. Today's word is kvetch. So stop kvetching already and enjoy!
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS: THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE EMAIL THAT YOU GET EACH DAY ON SOME COMPUTERS AND TABLETS. YOU MUST CLICK ON THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE EMAIL TO REACH THE JEWISH HUMOR CENTRAL WEBSITE, FROM WHICH YOU CLICK ON THE PLAY BUTTON IN THE VIDEO IMAGE TO START THE VIDEO.
