This is a cheerful lexicon of Yiddish words which have become part of the English language, plus English words and phrases which have been transformed into Yinglish; the whole garnished with stories, jokes, parables, reverent quotations from the Talmud, and a glittering gallery of writers, rabbis, sages, and wits, with impulsive side trips into the faith, folklore, genius and history of the Jews--from their servitude in Babylon to their magnitude in Beverly Hills. Entries on Yiddish words, phrases, and sentence forms that have become, or are becoming, parts of the English language are accompanied by stories, jokes, parables, and Talmudic insights. Containing a medley of words in different states of adoption into English, Hooray for Yiddish! is organized alphabetically--in its own way. Garnished with stories, jokes, parables, epigrams, acerbities, and Talmudic insights, Hooray for Yiddish! takes us on illuminating side trips into the faith, folklore, tradition, genius, history--and, of course, language--of the Jewish people. When you finish, you will be speaking Yiddish like a native. So enjoy! Leo Calvin Rosten (April 11, 1908 - February 19, 1997) was an American humorist in the fields of scriptwriting, storywriting, journalism, and Yiddish lexicography. Rosten showed an interest in books and language very early and began writing stories when he was only nine. During the Great Depression, when he was unable to find other work, he taught English for recent immigrants at night. These experiences eventually became the source of his most popular works. Rosten studied political science, economics, and psychology at both the University of Chicago, where he obtained his doctorate in political science, and the London School of Economics. From this time date his life-long friendships with Milton Friedman, W. Allen Wallis and other economists who would become influential in forming American neoliberalism. Like them, Rosten became a member of the Mont Pèlerin Society. Like other University of Chicago graduates, during the war he worked in Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, both as deputy director at the Office of War Information and as assistant to Lowell Mellett, one of Roosevelt's aides. After the war, his connection with Allen Wallis led to his involvement with forming the Social Sciences division at the RAND Corporation. Although Rosten, who was already involved in Hollywood at this point, did not work full-time at RAND, he was an influential consultant on human psychology and put RAND in contact with several influential academics such as Hans Speier and Bernard Brodie. He also suggested that RAND contact the Ford Foundation for funding. Rosten is best remembered for his stories about the night-school "prodigy" Hyman Kaplan, written under the pseudonym Leonard Q. Ross. They were published in The New Yorker from 1935 and collected in two volumes published in 1937 and 1959, He is also well known for his encyclopedic The Joys of Yiddish (1968), a guide to Yiddish and to Jewish culture including anecdotes and Jewish humor. It was followed by Hooray for Yiddish! (1982), a humorous lexicon of the American language as influenced by Jewish culture. Another Rosten work is Leo Rosten's Treasury of Jewish Quotations.

Stephen Joel Trachtenberg is University Professor of Public Service and president emeritus of The George Washington University, after serving nineteen years as the fifteenth president of the university. At the beginning of his career, he served as the special assistant to the U.S. Education Commissioner for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. He began his career in higher education at Boston University and later became President at the University of Hartford. From there he went to The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He is the author of numerous books including "Presidencies Derailed", The Art of Hiring in America's Colleges & Universities, Thinking Out Loud, Reflections on Higher Education, Speaking His Mind, and Big Man on Campus. He is co-author of "The Art of Hiring in America's Colleges & Universities" and "Letters to the Next President." Trachtenberg increased the national profile of the university, and has fostered the observance of school traditions such as George Washington's birthday celebration. During Trachtenberg's tenure as president the university created five new schools: Public Health and Health Services, Public Policy and Public Administration, College of Professional Studies, Graduate School of Political Management, and Media and Public Affairs; and initiated the University Honors Program. An eye-opening and at times controversial insider's look at the current state of higher education in America, from one of the nation's most distinguished and down-to-earth university presidents. At a time when daily news headlines scream of competitive college enrollments, skyrocketing tuition, campus violence, alcohol and drug abuse, and other campus scandals, the former president of The George Washington University tells it like it really is. Educated at Columbia, Yale, and Harvard universities, with a membership in Phi Beta Kappa, more than fifteen honorary doctorates, four books, and numerous published articles, Stephen Joel Trachtenberg is one of the leading voices in American higher education. Here he brings his thirty years of experience, wisdom, and wit to reveal what goes on behind the scenes in the difficult and rewarding challenge of running a university. Using wonderful anecdotes from his own life, Trachtenberg explains with compassion and his trademark humor the insight he has gained from the halls of learning. For parents who will write big checks to send their sons and daughters to college, for businesspeople of all kinds looking for leadership lessons, and for anyone invested in America's system of higher education, this book is a major work about the importance of sustaining our nation's natural brain trust.

Her novel The Expected One has appeared in over fifty languages. She claims to be a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The Magdalene Line is a series of novels, featuring both fictitious and historical female characters which the author believes history has either misrepresented or obliterated. Kathleen McGowan began working on the first novel The Expected One in 1989. Focusing on the role of Mary Magdalene, it was self-published in 2005. On July 25, 2006, the book was republished by Simon & Schuster under the Touchstone imprint. The second novel of the series is The Book of Love, published in 2009, focusing on the life of Mathilda of Canossa. The third novel of the series is The Poet Prince, published in 2010, focusing on the life of Lorenzo de Medici. Each novel of the series features the fictitious heroine Maureen Paschal, who is tasked with uncovering alleged historical and Christian enigmas. Other fictitious characters include Berenger Sinclair and Tamara Wisdom, as well as the enigmatic character Destino. An ancient prophecy predicts the arrival of The Expected One, a woman who is destined to bring Mary Magdalene's gospel to the world. When Maureen Pascal stumbles into a dangerous and secret world of people who will fight to the death to keep--or to destroy--one of the world's most powerful secrets, she also discovers that the ancient prophecy points directly to her. Follow her breathtaking adventure as she deciphers ancient clues, defies the world's most powerful traditions, and risks her life in order to fulfill her destiny and find the scroll that begins: "I am Mary, called Magdalene, a princess of the royal tribe of Benjamin and a daughter of the Nazarenes. I am the lawful wife of Jesus, the Messiah of The Way.I leave these words for the children of the future, so that when the time is come they may find them and know the truth of those who led The Way.
