#freylekh

[starlight-shadowbanned]

today’s yiddish word of the day is

peysekh - פסח

pronounced “PAY-sikh”

meaning pesach aka passover

because this is a hebrew word, we spell it the same way as in hebrew

example sentences:

- this katz is celebrating peysekh

- on peysekh we eat karpas which is often grin

- peysekh happens in friling

- this matzah is tsebrokhn

wishing you a freylekhn peysekh!

(freylekh means joyful - bonus word!)

—

patch notes:

all future ywotd of the day posts will use yivo orthography. as such, tzebrochen has been changed to tsebrokhn
