About Yiddish Dad Hats

There are nearly 300 Yiddish words and phrases recognized in the US English dictionary-but most people have no idea they're speaking Yiddish when they use them. A language so rich with slang and Jewish history, it has that "if you know, you know" nod to it-a spoken wink that brings us together. Words like "mensch", "oy", "shmata" - they each spark a deeper connection, and almost always, a smile. The vision for Yiddish Dad Hats is to bring light to the invisible string that connects us. .2% of the world's population is Jewish, and we want to celebrate the kinship these special little words create. YDH is a nod to our ancestors, our culture, and to the people who strive to keep Yiddish alive.Read their story
