Toby's a Mensch: Learn Yiddish from a Very Good Dog

By Jonathan Sandmel

Learn some useful Yiddish words with Toby, the very good three-legged dog.

Whether your great-greats spoke Yiddish, you want a fresh new shtick, or you just love dogs, you're going to want to meet Toby

Toby is a mensch, which means he's a very good boy. He loves noshing on eggs, schmoozing with new friends, and plotzing after a schlep in the park. His humans are always kvelling they love him very much

There's never been a fuzzier, cheerier ambassador for the many Yiddish loanwords that liven up our daily conversations. Anyone who's ever had a dog in their mishpocheh--their family--won't be able to resist Toby and all his foibles.
