Lets Schmooze Jewish Words for Schleppers

"Let's Schmooze traces the trajectory of 150 Jewish words from the Bible and Talmud to Yiddish slang, yeshivish creole and youth movement patois. Spanning a plethora of Jewish situations and subcultures, including food, magic, lifecycle events, the Joys of Yinglish, surviving synagogue and the Kabbalah craze, Let's Schmooze uses the lens of language to provide a snapshot of Jewish society and spirituality today. With a light touch it also raises critical questions about the acculturation of minorities in a post-multicultural world."--BOOK JACKET.Sinclair, Julian is the author of 'Lets Schmooze Jewish Words for Schleppers', published 2007 under ISBN 9780826497116 and ISBN 082649711X.
