Reply To: Yiddish at Siyum hashas

I’m wondering where Joseph gets his claim that the majority of American Orthodox Jews are Chassidim. There are Chassidim whose first language is English. There are also many American Chassidim (especially the males) whose knowledge of English is rudimentary at best. It’s interesting that Chassidish women tend to be more fluent in English than the men, while among Hispanics (at least in my limited experience), it’s the opposite.
