This dictionary contains mainly idioms, which are combinations of words of an idiomatic nature and have an adopted, metaphorical meaning. Some are commonly used expressions, and are not necessarily idiomatic or metaphorical. These second kind of expressions which are termed "collocations" in linguistic parlance have been included only in cases where they do not appear in existing dictionaries of Yiddish. This dictionary offers four options for the user to find the required expressions: 1. By alphabetic order; 2. By alphabetized lists of the equivalent expressions in Hebrew, English and Russian; 3. By a list of the nouns and numerals that appear in the Yiddish expressions; 4. By a subject index.

Expressions associated with Jewish customs and religious life: 3. Loan translations (literal translations of expressions from other languages):

Davka 's 7th issue is dedicated to the "Red Flag"

Davka 's 6th issue is dedicated to the "Yiddishe Mame" the Jewish Mother

Davka 's 5th issue is dedicated to New York Yiddish, a success story which is usually overlooked by Israeli History Books. It covers a selection of the New York Yiddish Golden Age elements: the Yiddi Theatre, which became a kind of Modern Temple (Edna Nahshon); the Rise of "Fiddler on the Roof" (Dan Almagor). The New Davka issue also includes a photographic tour following the trail of the Jewish Past in the Lower East Side (Nahum Gershon), a Motl Peyse Dem Khazns Comics and more. Davka does not limit itself to the Historical tale but also describes the Yiddish Situation in New York today. It tells of the activity of a very young organization "Yugntruf " and tells of a friendship between two women an ex-religious and an orthodox and even includes a play about female love in one of the Yiddish reading circles in the East Village.

This volume of essays is the first collection of scholarly studies on the Yiddish theatre to appear in English. Drawing on a variety of academic disciplines, it considers the dramatic and musical repertoire of Yiddish theatre and their historical development, popular and critical reception of productions, and the practice and consequences of state censorship. The time-span covered is broad—from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century—as is the geographical range: Cracow, London, Moscow, New York, St Petersburg, Vienna, and Warsaw. The Yiddish Theatre not only presents a comprehensive study of the field but also helps illustrate the significance of the Yiddish theatre as a vital form of expression in the Jewish world. Yiddish drama and theatre has had an enormous capacity to entertain audiences on six continents, while at the same time highlighting social, political, religious, and economic concerns of vital interest to the Jewish people. The Yiddish Theatre is a valuable resource for scholars, university students, and general readers interested both in Yiddish theatre specifically and related fields such as Jewish literature and culture, east European history and culture, and European and American theatre. The book contains the most comprehensive bibliography to date of sources relating to the Yiddish theatre. Contributors Ahuva Belkin, Joel Berkowitz, Paola Bertolone, Miroslawa M.
