  • Glossary a Note from the Author
    Glossary Please note that Yiddish is spoken in many dialects; the pronunciations given here are not the only correct ones. latke (LAHT-kuh): A Yiddish word for a small potato pancake. Latkes are traditionally eaten during Hanukkah. Mäusele (MOYZ-uh-luh): An old-fashioned, Yiddish-influenced German pet name meaning “little mouse.” menorah (men-AW-ra): A Hebrew word used in English for a nine-branched candleholder. It has one branch for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah, plus one for the shamash. schmaltz (SHMOLTS): A Yiddish word for clarified poultry fat. Before the mid-twentieth century, schmaltz was used to fry latkes. Goose fat was best! shamash (shah-MASH): A Hebrew word meaning “servant.” The shamash is the helper candle on the menorah. It is lit first and used to light the others. A Note from the Author Sydney Taylor (1904–1978) was born four years after her traditionally religious Jewish family arrived in Amer- ica to settle on New York City’s Lower East Side. Her parents, Morris and Cecilia, came from Germany, though Morris was originally from Poland. There were five girls, as in the All-of-a-Kind Family stories. Later, three boys were born, though only two survived. As a young adult, the author changed her name from Sarah to Sydney. She grew up to be an actor and a modern dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company. Later, she worked as a drama and dance counselor at a Jewish summer camp. As an adult, she was progressive and no longer observant, but she kept a strong Jewish identity.
