From Library Journal These reliable references both emanate from reputable sources, one from the Jewish Publication Society and the other from the late Rosten, a prolific, best-selling author, professor, scholar, and language expert. Similar in content and format but with a differing emphasis and flavor, these books have considerable overlap. The JPS Dictionary aims to identify Jewish words and terms, derived from Yiddish, Hebrew, Aramaic, and English, that are most commonly used in U.S. daily life. Not intended to be either all-inclusive or definitive, this handy, accessible work will serve the needs of a variety of users. Arranged alphabetically, it features more than 1000 definitions using simple language and including parts of speech, pronunciation guides, one or more meanings, and cross references. Communalities are identified in the category index. The words included pertain to Jewish holidays and life-cycle events, culture, history, the Bible and other sacred texts, worship, and more. Because stress is placed on understanding Jewish traditions, this work is slightly broader in scope, covering individuals and other terms recognized by the authors as being contemporary and/or having special meaning.
