Forverts editor Rukhl Schaechter has been posting Yiddish words and expressions to give non-Yiddish speakers an introduction to how these familiar Yiddish phrases might be used in everyday situations.
Originally a regular series, they are now posted from time to time. Whenever we find a new one, we'll share it with you.
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.
Today's expressions focus on cooking, both literally and also how they are used to describe someone who's furious and someone who always mixes into everyone else's business.
Enjoy!
