Yiddish is a remarkable language, and it is filled with idiomatic expressions and proverbs, such as: a gezunter oreman, a dinst bie a rov ken oich paskenen shailos. Rabbi David Cohen starts with the premise that Yiddish is a holy language and that its sayings are rooting in Tanach, the Talmud, and Midrash. In this Hebrew sefer, he gives the Yiddish phrase, and then traces its sources.
