That Leksikon fun Yidishn Teater - but it's in Hebrew characters I wish there were a button I could click to automatically transliterate the book. I really should learn the Hebrew alphabet. I can usually understand printed or spoken/sung Yiddish, but the Hebrew characters are a stumbling block that I should be able to resolve with relative ease. All I need to do is learn the alphabet, right? Only 22 letters....

I was quite pleased that I could understand Yiddish when I heard it in Jerusalem when I was there in December.

So, when Yiddish is printed in Hebrew characters, does it read from right to left? I think so, but I'm not completely sure.

Here's a great page on transliteration/romanization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_orthography#The_Yiddish_alphabet. I scanned it, but didn't see whether Yiddish is right to left when it's in Hebrew characters.
