RE, why would goyim be forced to give gittin?
Avram,
Actually, I am half-Ashkenazi and half Sephardi so I do not feel oppressed by either group. However, I do resent maggidei shiurim using Yiddish terms when they know full well that not everyone in the shiur understands. I also think that it is a ghetto mentality to hang on to Yiddish. It’s especially silly and pretentious to use, for example, “fregt” instead of “asks” when giving a shiur that is supposed to be in English. Moreover, Hebrew is our ancestral language and unites us.
I have never encountered a maggid shiur who uses Ladino. My feeling is that Ladino-speakers who went to the Americas transitioned to modern Spanish. In fact, my grandmother never used the word “Ladino”. She always said that she spoke Spanish.
