Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match...
But what if you’re too modern and progressive to use a traditional Jewish matchmaker? You might have to go it alone. Such was the case for some Yiddish-speaking singles who had to rely on things like Salon-Flirt, the Tinder of the 1920s.
Salon-Flirt was a popular card game in Europe and America and appeared in a number of languages, Yiddish among them. A flirting game that involved sometimes risqué lines that one player would tell another (who then responded with a line of their own), the Yiddish version was so popular, it was published in New York, Prague, and Warsaw.
