Yiddish Studies

"A monumental achievement based on a lifetime of labor by Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter, one of the greatest Yiddish lexicographers in modern times. This dictionary will be indispensable to those who study, speak, and write Yiddish. Never again will mockers and scoffers be able to say ‘there is no word for that in Yiddish.’
- David Fishman, Professor of History, The Jewish Theological Seminary of America

"In 2002, Yiddish lexicography took a step forward with the publication of the Dictionnaire yiddish-français by Yitskhok Niborski and Bernard Vaisbrot. But for students of Yiddish not fluent in French, using this dictionary requires looking up the definitions in a French dictionary. Now we are proud to announce that an English version of this dictionary is now available from Indiana University Press."
