Honestly I’m of the opinion that Yiddish should be outlawed by all mainstream hidden. I don’t know if any of you know what it feels like to be the only guy in the room to not understand Yiddish. And then constantly be made fun of by all my Yiddish speaking peers. It’s mannish the new age sinas chinam and it’s got to stop. This is why the bird hamakidash has been destroyed and why nowadays it’s ruining shidduchim, Shalom bayis, and friendships. I nearly was kicked out of my Ravs chabura for not understanding what farkairt meant, I thought it meant someone completely other.
Either way the point of this rant is that if anyone that is reading speaks Yiddish they’re adding to this new age epidemic, and are part of the problem.
I’ve started my local branch of the ALC (Alternative lanaguage committee) and so far we’ve gotten great responses of members of community. Last week’s meeting we discussed what the new language for modern Jewry should be, and we came down to either Chilean or mandarin.
I’m prompting all of you to go and reach out to your local ALC center, and help stop the awfulness of Yiddish today!
