The Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary Project In 2004, just two years after the publication of the landmark Yiddish-French dictionary, work by a dedicated team of linguists began in Boston, Massachusetts on the Yiddish-English version of Yitskhok Niborski and Bernard Vaisbrot’s Yiddish-French dictionary, known as the ייִדיש־פֿראַנצײזיש װערטערבוך Dictionnaire yiddish-français. The new dictionary, entitled the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary by Solon Beinfeld and Harry Bochner is now in its third printing from Indiana University Press.
