| Notes | This collection of Yiddish humor and folklore is guaranteed to make you laugh - but only if you can understand Yiddish. Herschel Gendel�s stories are hilarious. He pokes fun at people's everyday foibles. His delightful "Nachas from Grandchildren" touches every grandparent right in the heart - and the funnybone. The wisdom of Jewish folklore, a priceless treasure of our cultural heritage, is wonderfully expressed by Gendel. Suggestion: If you are not fluent in Yiddish find someone who is and listen to this wonderful album together. |
