500 Yiddish Similes

And Their Equivalents in English, Hebrew and Russian

Synopsis

The dictionary contains common similes and is a first attempt to depict these kinds of phrases in the field of Yiddish lexicography.
The Yiddish similes are accompanied by their Hebrew, English and Russian equivalents, and by example sentences which demonstrate their use. Humoristic illustrations illuminate the book.
