Chutzpah - Leo Rosten, Joys of Yiddish: "Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible 'guts'; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, and no other language, can do justice to. The classic definition of chutzpa is, of course, this: Chutzpa is that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan." https://jel.jewish-languages.org/words/119

Yiddish Word of the Day!

 

Yarmulke (properly pronounced YAHR-mul-keh, but often shortened to YAH-mi-koh, YAH-mi-keh, or YAH-mi-kee) is the common Yiddish word for the head covering worn by Jewish males.

 

But there’s a deeper meaning. According to many, yarmulke is a contraction of the Aramaic words, yarei malka, “awe of the King,” referring to G‑d, King of the Universe. (https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3936884/jewish/What-Does-Yarmulke-Mean.htm)

Treyf (sometimes spelled treif or treyfe) 

 

Treyf is a Yiddish word used for something that’s not kosher. The word treyf is derived from the Hebrew word treifah, which appears several times in the Bible and means “flesh torn by beasts.” The Torah prohibits eating flesh torn by beasts, and so the word treifah came to stand in for all forbidden foods. A ham and cheese sandwich? Very treyf.  (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/treyf/)

Bernie Madoff "is the ultimate *shanda far di goyim*, the ultimate embarrassment, the perp-walk that our grandmothers most feared, the greatest con artist of all time *and* an identifiable Jew."

Bubkus: A Yiddish word which means “nothing”, “worthless”

 

Bupkis is literally translated as “beans” and is derived from a Slavic word for “goat droppings.” 

 

However just to make things confusing, it’s not used as a reference to something edible (beans), or something inedible (goat droppings), but as something worthless (a bean isn’t worth much, and goat droppings even less).

Yiddish Word of the Day!

 

Mensch: The word “Mensch”, in Yiddish, is “someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character.

 

“Leo Rosten, author of the lexicon "The Joys of Yiddish", says a "mensch" is a term that Jews grew up on in their childhood. The Jewish mother frequently told her child "Be A Mensch" . To "Be a Mensch" is the greatest praise and to say to someone that he is not a "Mensch" is the biggest put down.

 

Being a "mensch" is not at all related to success, wealth or social status. A judge can be a slob, a millionaire can be detestable, a professor can be sleazy and a Doctor can be unscrupulous.

 

A Mensch is many things and one simple thing.  A mensch does what is right because it is right towards family,  towards strangers, at home and in public.  When people behave with honesty, integrity, consideration and respect they themselves prosper as does society at large. By spreading mensch-like behavior we can make our society happier, healthier and more successful. (https://beamensch.com/what-is-a-mensch/in-our-words/)

Kvell: to feel or express joy or triumph

 

“There is a fine art to kvelling. Kvelling is not boasting or bragging; it’s quieter. It’s the pride you feel when you witness your older child patiently helping the younger one finish a puzzle. It’s also the satisfaction you feel because it means they might have been listening to you after all.

 

True kvelling is not calculated; it happens in the moment, like when your kid rounds home plate and his teammates give him a high-five, or when your husband is called up to the stage for an award. Kvelling wells up until you burst with joy and pride. You just can’t help it.”
