**know of a whole group of people that have a school and only learn yiddish in perfection, have yiddish plays and thinks yiddish is more important than Torah, you who live in New York, do not know how bad the Yiddish impolse have given to other parts of the world as a matter of fact it has taken people away from Torah and Mitzvos**
srry 2 disagree w/ u again masca but wat is that?! u insinuating that the yiddish language has turned ppl off frm the Torah?
please enlighten me..i am very confused!
sammygol-there are quite a lot of frum yeshivot where I am from and i hav yet to hear wat u described. most yeshiva bochurim hav shiurim in yidish and do become fluent frm them. My family backgrnd isnt quite so yeshivish but whomever in my family went to yeshiva DID indeed pick up yiddish and i never heard of a/o laffing at a mistaken word. Generally many rosh yeshio’s or ebbeim either come frm more yeshiva/yeshivish backgrnds or hav BECOME more yeshivish through yeshiva and don normally hav the problem u jus described. Unless their very american and therefore speak in english.
