Neighborhood yentas are well—known women. They spend most of their time watching people around them. The yentas have this title for this. “Yenta” is a Yiddish word. It means a trouble maker or a talkative person. Nobody in the street is safe from their eyes or tongue.
Yentas certainly are not bad people. They pass on messages and advice. They give up-to-the-minute weather reports. They know who is doing what. They see，hear，and know all and usually repeat it. They have called themselves reporters.
Some of the yentas’ neighbors think them so interested in others’ things that they forget their own. Sometimes, however ,a child has to be found，or a robbery has to be reported. Then what yentas do are helpful. Every neighborhood appreciates its yentas very much. It doesn’t matter what their color，belief or accent is.
