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
http://www.amazon.com

(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!)
