Description: The Oy Way offers a meshuge (crazy) philosophy that combines meditation, exercise, and humor set forth in easy-to-learn Yiddish. It will be a mekhiye (great pleasure) to read and follow -- even if it's just a bisl (bit) at a time ... The Yiddish found in The Oy Way blends a rhythmic, flowing form of moving meditation with a unique way of thinking. At times, these expressions introduce turmoil in the midst of tranquility, and then impose humor into the resultant chaos and disorder.
