nishdayngesheft – this is not a thread about how wonderful yiddish is. It is about how wonderful Yidden are.
I have had the great zechus to work with many types of Jew from many places who do not speak yiddish, and was glad that we were able to communicate in a common language of English.
I have also been able to meet many Gedolim in EY, including Rav Yaakov Hillel Shlita and Rav Nosson Zvi Finkel ZTZ’L and because I understand English we were able to talk. The love of fellow yidden was clearly apparent.
