YIDDISH LIMERICK
BY RACHEL KAPEN
Eyb mir shtayn oder eyb mir zitzn
On Yom Kippur, mir dertzayln nisht vitzn.
Oh, ich bin hungerik, ich vil shayn essn,
Ober dos is Yom Kippur, hob ich fargessn?
Un ich bin zayer hays, davenen un shvitzn.
Eyb mir shtayn oder eyb mir zitzn - If we stand or if we sit
mir dertzayln nisht vitzn - we don’t tell jokes
ich bin hungerik, ich vil shayn essn - I am hungry, I already want to eat.
Ober dos is - But this is
hob ich fargessn? - did I forget?
Un ich bin zayer hays - And I am very hot
davenen un shvitzn - praying and perspiring.
