A monumental achievement based on a lifetime
of labor by Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter, one of the greatest
Yiddish lexicographers in modern times.
This dictionary will be indispensable to those
who study, speak, and write Yiddish.
Never again will mockers and scoffers be able to say
‘there is no word for that in Yiddish.’
