This is the searchable online version of the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary edited by Solon Beinfeld and Harry Bochner, published by Indiana University Press in 2013.
This dictionary includes: "Broad coverage of Yiddish words of all origins: Hebrew-Aramaic, Slavic, and Romance as well as Germanic. More words, and more idiomatic usages than in previous Yiddish-English dictionaries. More user-friendly, without the complicated abbreviations and signs found in older works. Many regional and dialectal variants are included alongside standard literary Yiddish forms." --Verterbukh
