I took your advice, Bereishis Rabbah 74:14
וַיִּקְרָא לוֹ לָבָן יְגַר שָׂהֲדוּתָא , אָמַר רַבִּי שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר נַחְמָן אַל יְהֵא לָשׁוֹן פַּרְסִי הַזֶּה קַל בְּעֵינֶיךָ, שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה בַּנְּבִיאִים בַּכְּתוּבִים מָצִינוּ שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא חוֹלֵק לוֹ כָּבוֹד
A poster here said ” but that doesn’t make Aramaic holy”
Aramaic is in fact holy (again, as mentioned several times in this thread, I am not clear as to what “holy ” means, but clearly There is something special? sacred? important? holy? about Aramaic.) As the medrash warns, don’t take it lightly .
“This continuing back and forth about holiness of Yiddish is insulting and degrading to the concept of Kedusha (holiness) ”
I agree, it is also insulting and degrading to the holiness of Yiddish,
And this discussion is getting repetitive. with absolutely nothing constructive being added at this point,
This is pretty clear, josph put it very succinctly, I elaborated perhaps to a fault,
At this point, Kol hamosif goreah, if there is any particular point you have trouble with I’d be happy to try to clarify
but repeating “Done It is holy” “no its not” “Yes it is” Is not my style
