The lesson will include a brief story utilizing the Yiddish words to be studied, a vocabulary list with English translations and a family activity which involves using the new words. Two books which may be helpful for beginning Yiddish students are Yiddish for Beginners by Dr. Joffen and Der Yiddisher Lerer by Goldin. Weinreich's English-Yiddish Dictionary also may be useful. At the conclusion of each lesson will be a suggested list of books for persons who wish to further their knowledge. The lessons were prepared by Mary Koretz of Oak Park. She has taught both children's and adult classes in Yiddish at the Workmen's Circle and at the Midrasha-College of Jewish Studies. Following is this month's lesson: The mameh decided to invited the gantzeh mishpocheh over for Rosh Hashanah dinner. She invited her shvester and her bruder. The tateh invited the machatonim of his zun and tochter. They also invited the mumeh (tanteh) and the feter feter and the shvesterkind. Of course, they invited the bubeh and the zaydeh. The machutin and machetenisteh (machetonim) couldn't come because they had invited their tochter and aydim, their son and shnur. Everyone else came and they all ushered in the New Year together. Vocabulary mameh mother tateh father daughter tochter zun son cousin shvesterkind uncle (also, fat) feter aunt mumeh (tanteh) grandmother bubeh grandfather zaydeh in-laws machatonim father-in-law machutin mother-in-law machetenisteh daughter-in-law shnur son-in-law aydim sister shvester brother bruder Family Activity To use the words introduced in this lesson, make place cards with the names and relationships of the members of the family and put them on your Rosh Hashanah dinner table. Members of the family also can create a family tree using the Yiddish words.
