Re: [Cz-L] Yiddish & the Ehpes Blog

Neyn, nisht azoi. Yiddishe mener starben far zeire vaiber, weil der Reboney
shel Oylem hot rachmunes mit die vaber ind vill deynen geyben a bisl
menuche. Dafar zugt men, bis oif 121!
translation:

No, not like this. Jewish men die before their wives, because the Almighty
has pity on the women and wants to let them have some peace. That is why we
say till 120!
