Yiddish

There is actually no such thing as a Jewish word, but if you meant Yiddish, it's chutzpah.

The Hebrew equivalent is chootz-pah-nee.

hello in Yiddish = Hellaw (העלאָ)

hello in Hebrew = Shalom (שלום)

Yiddish is its own language, generally spoken by Eastern European Jews. It is vaguely related to German, but when written uses Hebrew characters.

I think that's a Russian world. It means beauty (beautifull girl). In Russian you pronounce it kra-SA-vi-tza

"L'Chaim", which means "to life". It's pronounced "Le-Hayim", but the "h" is that special sound from the back of the throat - if you've seen "Meet the Fockers", Barbra Streisand explains it as if you have "a popcorn kernel stuck in the back of your throat".

The phrase is Hebrew, not Yiddish.

It's a Yiddish (Jewish slang) expression meaning a stupid person.

In the past, (Yiddish, Germany) it was an explevtive meaning, Butt-Hole,

just as, Putz, meant Penis.

With todays youth it's the same as saying;

Your being a schmuck (butt-hole) you Putz (dick)

of course the other word for butt with an A _ _ is more vulgar way of taking the insult.

try translating to a more common language and from there translate into Gaelic

git yontif/v

or

gut yontef/v

depending on dialect

When addressing the Pope:

Git yontif, Pontif!

it was originally supposed to be a traditional yiddish song that my grandma was supposed to teach to Julie Andrews....but my grandma said she could write a better one, so they let her write "trinkt le chaim" for the movie. you can buy the score on tiunes

A rezhvolke is a satin overcoat worn by some Hungarian Hasidic Jews on Shabbos (the Jewish Sabbath). On Shabbos and Festivals-Hasidic men will wear a bekishe-a silk robe that replecates the kind worn in ancient Israel by the kohanim (tribal priests) who used to perform animal sacfrices to G-d in the Temple in Jerusalem. A rezhvolke is a coat worn over the bekishe-its a coat for the Sabbath. A Rabbi's rezhvolke will either have a silver or fur lining.

See related links below for a URL that shows a group of Hasidic men wearing their rezhvolkes. Notice the Rabbi's has a fur collar.

See related links below for a group of Hasidic men with just their bekishes, no rezhvolke-notice the difference (tied with a silk belt, no buttons, shinier appearance)

A rezhvolke is always work over a bekishe-never on its own-its gives the appearance of a very overweight person-but they're very thin, more comfortable then a regular business suit and such good quality silk that walking to synagogue in New York even gets cold in the deep of winter!

A Rabbi is always identifiable by his clothes-as I said, his rezhvolke has a velvet/fur lining and his bekishe either has a floral patter, or is solid white-the latter being the more traditional-but much less common due to its sensitivity to the modern, polluted urban air.

See related links below for a Rabbi's traditional white bekishe.

The straight literal translation is "Oh help!" . But just as so many other words

and phrases do that begin in another language, these arrive in English with

empty hands, bereft of their impact. A short book could be written about

each of these words, and together, they mean worlds more than "Oh help".

could it mean that listening to your heart is only 1/2 the solution? One should also listen to their thoughts;ie don't just follow your heart?

Confused, befuddled.
