In Yiddish, "mishegas" (also spelled "mishigas" or "mishugas") refers to craziness, silliness, or foolishness. It can also refer to a situation or behavior that is irrational or absurd. The term is often used humorously to describe something that is chaotic or nonsensical.

pickThis book was a phenomenal look at the Jewish Women of the ages and brings so much thought and grace to reclaiming Jewish Women's Wisdom.
rachmones (rahch-MUN-ness) - Compassion, fellow feeling, empathy, pity. "The Rachmones" would also make a very nice name for a sensitive Yiddish punk rock group.

Zissen Pesach. Chag Pesach kasher vesame'ach.
pickA boy takes his Bubbe Rosa around Brooklyn and Manhattan as they shop for ingredients for dinner. She struggles with seeing new things in the place of old and her memories flood their conversation. It‘s a short read about a Jewish woman in the city, and I love the glimpses of her when she is young and her interactions with an old baker she‘s known for years.

schmo (shmo) - A hapless sucker, an ordinary jerk.
Slightly pejorative, but it could be worse (e.g., could be putz or schmuck).
pickWhat a wonderful book! It‘s like Good Omens meets The Golem and the Jinni, plus labor organizing and gangs… and a whole bunch of queerness. I have a feeling it‘s going to be very difficult to pick a favorite book of my March reads!
