Books and Bagels Special Edition: Talk Dirty Yiddish
The Yiddish language absorbed many words from the surrounding communities in which its speakers lived. This was true also of English-speaking countries. But Yiddish also contributed to the richness of English, with many words having become standardized English. This talk will explore the interactions between the two languages, and look at Yiddish culture, literature, music, theater, and movies.
