“If life was so good there why did millions leave? People dont leave Gan Eden”
I’m sorry, you arent making any sense, and you keep replying to strawmen. Nobody said life there was so good. Nobody said everybody in the shtetl was frum (certainly not in the 20th century), nobody said it was “place of tranquility where everyone lived together without being bothered,” (well aside from you).
As for the subject at hand. I never answered the actual question “Is Yiddish holy” simply because I’m not quite sure what holy means. Rishonim explain what makes LAshon Hakodesh holy (has no bad words, was used to create the world) none of which apply to yiddish.
However we do use Kedusha in other senses as well. for example burial places of Tzadikim are reffered to as “mekomos hakedoshim” Of course halachicly they are cemeteries and thus the exact opposite of “kedusha” according to most (all?) poskim it is assur for Kohanim to go to these “mekomos hakedoshim” Concentration camps, are often also included in the term “mekomos hakedoshim” I think the average guy on the street would find it odd to refer to a gas chamber as “holy” but there is something special? sacred? about it, that has (or should have) meaning to us.
Yiddish was the Jewish language for about 1000 years (give or take depending on your source) . That makes it special? sacred? important? How can it not sure it wasnt used exclusivly used for “holy” talk but it was used by holy people, were all of them frum as some posters claim others are claiming, of course not, but as a group it was spoken by the am hanivchar, it is unquestionably a Jewish language, the jews being a holy people, we have consecrated it making it holy (or scared/important/special since I’m not clear on what exactly holy means.
(A few quick points to try to avoid silly responses: note I never said language of all Jews. I never said all Jews were religious (or holy), I never said only Jews spoke it, I dont think the source of the language matters (a cow isn’t holy yet a sefer Torah is), I never said it is more holy/important/sacred than limud torah,)
