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
