How could I forget that? All the time when I was majoring in music performance/ education my teacher would tell me to play with more schmaltz. I NEVER put that together until now. Thank you. I learned a bit of Yiddish listening but not nearly enough. I love it. The words are so perfect. My all time favorite has to be shlep and maybe shtunk (a family joke) but there are many. I wish I had paid more attention but this well brought up Presbyterian young woman who felt so different just kept her mouth shut when in the presence of the family. Nobody would have ever heard me anyway so I just soaked as much as I could in.

Thanks (your name makes me want to say Mahalo) KamaAina!
