You can take a Jew out of a shtetl, but you cannot take a shtetl out of a Jew.

The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.

A wise word is not a substitute for a piece of herring.

Ah, how many luxuries has the good God prepared for his Jewish children.

They say that children become men, and men become children. Many generations have grown up, become men, and gone hence.

Gossip is nature's telephone.

No one knows whom the shoe pinches - no one.

When the heart is full, the eyes overflow.

A cantor, when he starts singing, it's like rain - once it starts, it's hard to stop.

Love is a taste of paradise.

When have you ever heard of a cantor or any artist turning anyone down when he is strongly urged to perform?
