PREFACE
The educated Jew in America speaks English but is expected to know some Hebrew, the ''holy tongue" of Torah C'l'shon ha-kodesh'O and the living language of the State of Israel rivrith"). Many read and understand Yiddish -- the vernacular of our parents and grandparents ; the language in which a vast literature and cultural treasures are preserved. Yiddish, to this very day, serves as a bond between the past and present between generations of Jews in various lands of origin. It was also part of Jewish prayer and study, a vital part of the Jewish stream of life.
