Avi K,
“Do Sepharadim and Eidot haMizrach count as “Yidden”.”
Yidden is just Yiddish for Jews, so why wouldn’t they count?
“Enough with the creole German. Say it. Am Yisrael.”
Would you have said, “enough with the English!” had he written Jews? Or would you have called Ladino creole Spanish? No. We’ve had this discussion before. You feel oppressed by Ashkenazim and Yiddish, and have been wronged. But two wrongs do not make a right. Yiddish is a big part of the culture of many of your fellow Jews, and the push in Israel to squash that culture in favor of Ivrit and falafel has a strong association with efforts to secularize Jews as well. So is it surprising that there may be some resistance among frum Ashkenazim?
