Comprehensive English-Yiddish Dictionary,
2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded

גיט דאָ אַ קוועטש פֿאַרן ייִדיש

After only five years, the Comprehensive English-Yiddish Dictionary has been re-published in a revised and expanded second edition. This new release offers even more entries for anyone working with Yiddish on a personal or professional level. Newly included are close to 1,000 entries and subentries reflecting new contemporary terminology, as well as other long-extant Yiddish words and expressions. The Comprehensive English-Yiddish Dictionary is sure to continue being a critical resource for Yiddish scholars and speakers for years to come.

Containing more than 84,000 entries and subentries, the award-winning Comprehensive English-Yiddish Dictionary emphasizes Yiddish as a living language that is spoken in many parts of the world. Based on the work of renowned linguist Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter, who collected and researched spoken and literary Yiddish in all its varieties, this landmark dictionary reflects his vision for present-day and future Yiddish usage. The entries, ranging (literally) from agriculture to zoology, include words and expressions used by professionals and tradesmen, in synagogues, in schools, on the street, in the military, at home and in intimate life — wherever Yiddish-speaking Jews have lived and worked — and can be found in Yiddish literature, newspapers and other sources of the written word. Included as well are thousands of entries reflecting contemporary topics, such as technology, science, and the political and social sphere.

Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath (Yiddish-language editor of Afn Shvel, published Yiddish poet, and long-time colleague of Dr. Schaechter)
Dr. Paul Glasser (former Dean of the Max Weinreich Center for Advanced Jewish Studies at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research).
Associate Editor:
Dr. Chava Lapin (Yiddish professor, scholar and language expert).
