Incorporating antique German dialects and elements from more than a dozen other tongues, the Yiddish language bears the imprint of the many places where European Jews were briefly given shelter. Neal Karlen's unique, brashly entertaining, yet thoroughly researched telling of the language's story reveals that Yiddish is a mirror of Jewish history, thought, and practice--for better and for worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neal Karlen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060837128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060837129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Neal Karlen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046289830143,"sku":"9780060837129","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f3164af-daad-4bb6-8ebc-5307c7b1fcd3.jpg?v=1684983735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-yiddish-neal-karlen-9780060837129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
