Yiddish Word of the Week
Tikhon Ironi Alef

For those interested, the Municipal High School A (Tikhon Ironi Alef) in Tel Aviv hosts a website dedicated to Yiddish studies. The site includes an amazing array of Yiddish-related materials, including a Yiddish-Hebrew/Hebrew-Yiddish online dictionary, links to the text of many Yiddish songs and poems, Yiddish grammar lessons and learning modules, practice exercises, biographies of famous Yiddish personalities, and so much more. If you can read Hebrew and are interested in Yiddish studies, this site is an excellent resource.
And, in case you didn’t catch it, the New York Times last week featured an article on the Central Yiddish Cultural Organization (CYCO)’s bookstore, the last secular Yiddish bookstore in New York (open by appointment only).
