SAN DIEGO — Our thanks to Melanie Rubin, who has spotted a license plate with double Jewish interest.
MAZLTAV, of course, means good luck in both Yiddish and Hebrew.
But there is also the specialty ‘Yosemite’ plate on which the happy expression is printed.
Some pronounce it ‘Yo-Sem-It-Ee,’ but others, think of the name as a friendly greeting to Jews and our relatives from the Middle East.
They pronounce it, “Yo-Semite!”
