After perusing all of the above, I have a multi part question
Next week is shavuos. It’s brought in halacha that we no longer put trees in shul because that has been Co opted by the gentiles for their holiday.
Now take Yiddish
Wasn’t the haskalah conducted in Yiddish?
Maybe I’m wrong
Yiddish theater?
And if there is a value to holding on to an old language simply because that’s how we conversed for say a thousand years, why did we stop Aramaic?
Ladino?
(Spanish?)
