I was speaking with my best friend today, and I sneezed. She said, " God Bless You !! "- and then exclaimed that she was sorry to have said such, that she wasn’t sure what to say. I said, I grew up with Gedzundheit (sp?), since I’m 1/2 German.
She laughed and said, “That means ‘God Bless You’ in German”. I pondered this a bit, and said with great surety, " Well then, before Yiddish was invented, when a Jew sneezed…nobody said ANYTHING ! "
Is there a better Yiddish or Hebrew equivalent? I’m putting this here instead of in G.Q. because the companion issue is , of course, what do YOU say to people when they sneeze???
