    “A serious book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this Yiddish dictionary will teach you Yiddish for our time, with witticisms, idiomatic expressions, beautiful illustrations, and more. Avram Mlotek was born to and for Yiddish and his deep knowledge shines through on every page. This is his Yiddish dictionary and now, fortunately, it’s ours too!"

    - Professor Anita Norich, Collegiate Professor Emerita, University of Michigan, Department of English, and Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.

    Avram Mlotek

    Avram Mlotek is a rabbi, cantor, licensed social worker, and author. He is a grandchild of Holocaust survivors as well as noted Yiddish culturalists, Yosl and Chana Mlotek, whom Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer called “the Sherlock Holmes of Yiddish song.” Mlotek served as an advisor and consultant for www.yiddishsongs.org, the world’s largest online collection of Yiddish music, and is the co-creator and librettist of the Drama Desk Award winning Amid Falling Walls, a musical featuring Yiddish songs from the Holocaust, currently being adapted for television. He is the author of Why Jews Do That or 30 Questions Your Rabbi Never Answered, Passover in a Pandemic (written in Yiddish and English), and Butterfly; his writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Daily News and nearly every major Jewish news publication. Avram is the proud Tati to Revaya, Hillel Yosl, and Shabtai.
