What are some stereotypical Jewish sayings?
I'm writing a play for my Drama class, and it's a bit of a melodrama. The characters are just downright stereotypes, with one of them being a Jewish aunt that's come to stay with the main family.
I need some little phrases she can toss around, like "be a mensch" or "mazel tov!", to really bring a sense of tacky authenticity to her character.
Many thanks in advance! :D
@Sam U, sounds good, but what does it mean?
