Always.  

I was thinking of the definition given in 
"Yiddish for Yankees or, Funny, You Don't Look Gentile" 
(Yes! ... the actual title! IOW, G'nossen tsum emess! <g> )

Which may be found (sometimes) at 
http://www.alibris.com or

(not Jewish -- but collects and shares Yiddish Words -- an 
avocation that began while working in the garment district; 
is from the Italian Renaissance -- in theory anyway; 
at times, teaches/wears a Feileadh Mor -- Great Kilt; 
... the backstory to "connect those dots" is a very big 
Megillah!)
