Word to your Bubbe and Zayde. Whether it’s a compliment, or a kick in the tuchus, sometimes you need a bissel of Yiddish to get the job done.

Esteban Alterman, an Israeli photojournalist and ALS sufferer said it poignantly in an open letter to Hawking:
”Your decision to join the academic boycott of Israel undermines the battle for scientific discovery and advancement that has the potential to find cures, or even simply remedies to give us our quality of life back, for our common disease, and those of others who suffer in their own ways.”

Now you tell me. What’s your favorite Yiddish word?
