“What does korban on bama have to do with a. z.?”
I recall seeing that korbanos on bama became assur, once goyim began doing it for avoda zara. I dont recall a source though, and can think of a few questions on it, so I might be mistaken.
“That’s really wonderful. Has nothing to do with the conversation though”
It is wonderful! and id does have something to do with the conversation. You said (and I quote) “why did we stop Aramaic?” To which I pointed out that we didnt “stop Aramaic” In fact we use it daily for some of our most important tefillos, and of course the Gemara, as you may know, is in Aramaic as well.
Reading understanding translating Aramaic is something taught to religous kids at a very young age today
So is Hebrew for that matter. I would hardly call that “stopped” In fact that is the very opposite oof “Stopped” Aramaic is very much alive, and effort is made to ensure that it remains so
Do you think the mahariĺ diskin didn’t say those parts of prayers because they were in Hebrew not in Yiddish? And he only wanted to speak Yiddish?
with time it fell into disuse I don’t think there was an effort to stop it.
So why is there an effort to prevent Yiddish from falling into disuse?
“So is Hebrew for that matter”
so is hebrew, what?
“Do you think the mahariĺ diskin …”
I assume this question isnt geared to me
“with time it fell into disuse I don’t think there was an effort to stop it.”
How do you know?
As for your point to ponder, that was mentioned earlier.
