    I thought I would come up with unusual yiddish words and have you guess what they mean.
    I have started with the word Shlimazl.
    In the future I will wait one day and give the meaning,
    But to start with here is the definition.
    Mazl means luck, so Shlimazl is a bad luck, or a unlucky person.
    Tomorrow another word.

    What is Zisinke?
    Zisinke is a sweet little one, like my delicious grandson. Tomorrow, I'll have a new word.

    Ongepatchket means overly decorated, as in a Bedazzeling machine gone wild.
    Tomorrow another word.
