Re: gig

In Modern Hebrew one also calls it Khaltura. The same meaning as in Russian - 
also for short term jobs, but also for gigs.

    Does anyone know if there is a yiddish word that is the equivalent of

  Don't know the Yiddish, but Russian is "haltura" (khaltura), but it means a 
  shoddy sort of thing, a jobbing date as opposed to art.
