Description
Did you know that Yiddish is written in Hebrew letters but pronounced more like German? Introduce your kids to their mama loshen (mother tongue) and open the door to their cultural heritage! The basic Yiddish vocabulary includes more than 150 words for family members, objects in the home and school, colors, and numbers. Each concept is presented with a bright picture, the Yiddish word, and the translation and transliteration. The once-thriving language, spoken by millions, is undergoing a revival, and kids will enjoy learning to speak the colorful tongue.

The name joins the founders' youngest children: Madeline's daughter Karen and Judye's son Ben. From Rockville, Maryland, the pair built Kar-Ben into a home for Jewish picture books, earning the Sydney Taylor Book Award committee's Body of Work honor, before Lerner Publishing Group bought the press. It now publishes from Minneapolis and calls itself the largest publisher of exclusively Jewish-themed children's books in the world, covering holidays, life-cycle moments, folktales, Israel and Jewish history. ModernTribe carries Hanukkah and Purim picture books like Golem Loves Latkes and The Queen Who Saved Her People, the My Family Haggadah board book, and the yearly Executive Jewish Calendar.
