Okay, Yiddish is a language. Jewish is a religion. Also, many of these words are NOT Yiddish, they are Hebrew.
Gefilte fish=gefilte fish. It's a processed whitefish.
Kugel=Kugel. Seriously, not everything has a translation. Kugel is a type of casserole made with egg noodles.
Matzoh=unleavened bread
Haggadah=Telling. The book that retells the story of Passover.
Shvartses=a derogatory term used for black people
Treyf=Unclean
Yamulke=A religious head covering.
Goy=non-Jewish individual
Hare Krishna isn't Hebrew. It's Indian.
Kaddish=The Mourner's Prayer
Rov=most
Kosher=Clean
Hummus=A paste made from chickpea
Tahini=a paste made from sesame seeds
baba ghanoush=an eggplant dish
