About This Quote

This is a quote from a song that was released in 1967 by the Yiddish singer and comedian, Shlomo Carlebach. It's a reference to the first two letters of the Hebrew word for Jew (Yah), and sometimes it's written as "doctor doctor." A popular joke with this line is that it refers to Jewish people who speak with an exaggerated Yiddish accent. However, many people believe that Carlebach himself was making fun of the stereotypical Jewish accent.
