“will find it in yourselves to realize how your biases and assumptions override your interpretations. ”
Sadly it is hard to overcome, biases, so I will need your help. Care to explain what the correct interpretation of “Yiddish is a relic of a galut” means?
how does “a relic of a galut” not imply that said galut has ended???
Of course a separate issue, that would then need explanation is even if the galut has ended, it seems to me that we SHOULD still l recall the language we once spoke in galut. We can have a yom haatzmaot seder where we open with some yiddish to remind of of the galut we have left behind?
We can point to some cholent (uch! galut food! and how would sefardim feel) and say “dus is di urimeh essen vus inzer elteren huben gegesen in land fin poilin/Lita/Ungarin.”
Much thanks!
