Everyone has a bubbe. In the case of Yiddish.co, I wanted my kids to be able to hear the sound of their bubbe’s voice anytime they wanted. I also wanted to make sure that the Hebrew-German language, which is so important to my heritage, continues to be discovered and learned.

More Yiddish words have been recorded by my kids’ bubbe and will be added over time. If there’s a particular word or phrase that you’d like us to add, please email us and let us know.
