Oy gevalt, if some of our menu items are making you plotz, you’re not meshuggeh! Yiddish is a historical Jewish language of German, Hebrew & Slavic decent. It’s a beautifully expressive, sometimes kvetchy, flavorful language of our ancestors, & it’s got more chutzpah than a corned beef on rye.
Our glossary of terms will help you navigate the delicious world of Jewish food, culture, & the occasional well-meaning insult. It’s like Google Translate, if Google had a Jewish mother.
