"The principal purpose of the Modern English-Yiddish Yiddish-English Dictionary is to furnish the advanced student of Yiddish with access to the language of modern cultivated usage. It is meant to serve him as a guide to the correct and idiomatic employment of the language in speech and in writing. As an aid in the reading of Yiddish written materials, it is likely to be particularly helpful with nonfiction texts. The Dictionary is designed in the main for persons who have a firm grounding in English and at least a rudimentary command of Yiddish and are eager to broaden their mastery of Yiddish vocabulary and phraseology." -- Uriel Weinreich
