	Commentary Magazine - The Joys of Yiddish, by Leo Rosten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		...Rosten argues a deep, nationwide role for the influence of Yiddish, it is a fact that in the South, the Midwest, the Far West, and in the American rural-agricultural community at large, despite the influence of jokebooks, radio, movies, and TV, Yiddishisms are conspicuous by their absence...
		...THOUGH ROSTEN ignores or is unaware of the cultural context of the jokes he tells, he displays elsewhere a sensitivity to the American scene which betrays his particular social bias: I once heard shlump from two Radcliffe girls, neither of whom knew a word of Yiddish...
		...Rosten's own humor is, if anything, worse in its vapid tastelessness than his mangled recountings of old jokes: If you have never tasted a bagel, I feel sorry for you...

		Leo Rosten, Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman started a life long friendship while attending the University of Chicago in 1934.
		Leo participated in several early planning sessions for the series.
		In his book People I have Loved Known or Admired Rosten wrote an essay titled “An Infuriating Man.” Milton Friedman served as the model for this essay, about “Fenwick,” in which Rosten gives voice, wonderfully humorous voice, to the tendency of most people to wish the truth not be brandished in their face.

	The New Joys of Yiddish
		Rosten says that language is culture, and in some ways editor Bush's new footnotes give a quick overview of Jewish American life in the last 30 years, including the changes in the role of women, the rise of Reform and other denominations, the comeback of Jewish mysticism, and the rising rate of intermarriage.
		"A stand-by on many reference shelves since 1968, the late Leo Rosten's The Joys of Yiddish is regarded as the authority on Yiddish expressions, some of which have blush-worthy meanings.
		Rosten had a keen sense of humor, and he sprinkled jokes and anecdotes throughout his translation of Yiddish expressions and traditions." - Ann Lloyd Merriman, in Richmond Times-Dispatch
