The best review is to give samples

This collection of around two - thousand Yiddish sayings is an especially useful and enjoyable one. It has the saying written in the original Yiddish(with Hebrew letters) in a transliterated English and a translated English. It is organized alphabetically according to topics. . It provides a taste of the pain and humor of the Yiddish speaking world. The best review of this work would be to give samples, and I will give a few in English translation only. 'You don't send a dog to the butchers' 'Where there's too much, something's missing' 'If you don't have meat, you gnaw on bones' 'A wise man knows what he says, a fool says what he knows'.
