The Shiksa's Guide to Yiddish

by Christy Potter

The Shiksa's Guide to Yiddish is a definitive collection of Yiddish words and phrases specifically for non-Jewish women who marry Jewish men. Written from the point of view of a woman who has done just that, each word includes a pronunciation guide along with the definition, and usually an anecdote from The Shiksa's own life. Between chapters are witty observations on Jewish life through the eyes of a shiksa who has embraced the Jewish people wholeheartedly.
