	Glossary
Just saw your Yiddish Glossary for the 1st time, and I was delighted as well as filled with nostalgic thoughts of my youth and a mother who spoke to me in Yiddish.. I thank you so very much One expression my Mom occasionally used that I didn’t note in the glossary is as follows: Az dosy dus delebyn vest du meshiach auchet delebyn…..If you live to see it you’ll also live to see the Messiah. (cynical put-down) My mother was born in Lodz, Poland and died in Los Angeles 1961 after a very full life. I was born in St.Paul, MN in 1920, and came to Los Angeles right after becoming an inactive army air corps reserve officer in 1946. Continue the good work and thanks again.
Editor-> Shalom John, Thank you for the encouraging words and for sharing some of your life with us.
