My First Tallit Katan Yiddish I Am Three

Whether or not Yiddish is spoken in your home, this lively picture will win the heart of you and your son! The smoke from the train engine spells out in Yiddish the words, “Ich bin drei yohr” – I am three years old. It is pulling along the little boy who waves happily. Behind him are cars holding his tallit katan, his kipah and the aleph beit letters. Above the tree is written “Ich bin shoin grois” – I am already big. So, with this tallit katan he is all ready to go! The tallit katan has one size and is made of durable cotton/polyester. It carries a certificate that it is 100% kosher and meets the relevant halachic standards. A tallit katan with Yiddish words connects the child to his past. At one time Yiddish was the main language of most western Jews and many of the new arrivals to the shores of America settled in New York in communities where Yiddish continued to be the main language.
