inaccurate translation - but interesting

This is an interesting book filled with proverbs that reverberate of a lost time when the Jewish community was in small villages throughout Poland and elsewhere.. The difficulty with this book is that some of the translations are inaccurate and if one know Yiddish, this is disappointing. The Author should use literal translation rather than trying to translate to some ill conceived "idiom" of language.. The Yiddish stands up on its own in translation..

What a Ride!

As a Yiddish enthusiast of the highest rank, I am truly moved to tears by the quiet, nay, noble countenance of this humble book. Answers to all of life's questions are contained in this Yiddish tome. Had Napoleon acknowledged his Yiddish forebears, he might have won Waterloo!! This book puts the 'Id' back in Yiddish.
