חג פסח שמח
I am of Sephardic origin and thank G-d I can speak both hebrew and some german among other languages but it is frustrating when rabbis use yiddish and other non yiddish speakers cannot understand
My grandparents spoke Yiddish. When I was a little kid, spent quite a bit of time with them. They always spoke Yiddish when they didn’t want the children to understand what they were saying. So, I picked up some Yiddish.
I can fashtay a lot of the Yiddish that my Rabbi uses. His first language is Hebrew.
When he speaks to many members of the congregation who are Israelis in Hebrew, I’m lost.
So, I can completely understand what you are saying.
In addition, we have a lot of members whose first language is Spanish. So, it’s like the UN when each group stops speaking English and reverts to their mother tongue.
I actually enjoy it when Rabbi speaks the mammalochen.
I agree that there is room for all tongues.
As an Ashkenazic Jew, I grew up with Yiddish spoken around the house.
As for me, Mamalushin (The mother tongue) or Yiddish is the language of the Diaspora.
I live in Israel now and although Modern Hebrew is the language of the land when I pray, my Ashkenazic roots return.
Thank G-d for Chabad, where Yiddishkeit still exists!
