Illustrated guide to common Yiddish words. Even Donald Trump is speaking Yiddish these days. This illustrated guide to those magical Yiddish words will help you find just the right word when nothing in English seems to work. Each word is represented by an iconoclastic, self-effacing illustration. A great gift book, and you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy the humor or benefit from it. OK, so maybe it won't help but " kenen nisht shatn " ( it can't hurt ).
