The late Mordkhe Schaechter collected and researched spoken and literary Yiddish in all its varieties; this landmark dictionary reflects his vision for present-day and future Yiddish usage. The entries, ranging (literally) from agriculture to zoology, include words and expressions used by professionals and tradesmen, in synagogues, in schools, on the street, in the military, at home and in intimate life — wherever Yiddish-speaking Jews lived and worked — and can be found in Yiddish literature, newspapers and other sources of the written word.
