The Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary is a book you can fall in love with."-- Jewish Daily Forward "New and up-to-date, the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary, edited by Solon Beinfeld and Harry Bochner, is a must-have book for both students of Yiddish and fluent Yiddish speakers and writers. . . .
