You're not a shiksa. You're a goya, because you once got married. Shiksa is to "mademoiselle" as goya is to "madame". Your husband is a goy, your unmarried son is a sheighetz. But I intended to teach you Hebrew, not Yiddish, actually, LOL!

Have you ever checked their website? It's in English... link

Hebrew is really simple, indeed, except for reading because it has no vowels.

Yad Vashem topic

The Hand of God. I have always wanted to visit your Holocaust Memorial, and pay my respects.

"Goya' reads harsh like a disease. It is the feminine of 'goy'. I do not think it is meant to be neutral. Given the history of the murderous pogroms, I can understand why.

The site you mentioned is very helpful. Most of the other sites feature Auschwitz, but I fear this Graveyard has turned into a tourist show, and for this reason, I would visit YV first.

Thank you for the Yiddish lesson. :)
