Yiddish will not die. Why? Because I will not let it die. Although, I'm just a senior in high school, I have already made significant changes. For example, I have founded my high school's first ever Jewish Student Union, in which I hold weekly Yiddish self-teaching sessions. Yiddish WILL live on!
It will survive. People are taking action in order for it to survive. Aharon Lahnsky saved over 1,000,000 Yiddish books, scanned them, and posted them on the National Yiddish Book Center's website as pdf files. The Yiddish youth organization Yugntruf runs a summer program called Yidishvokh in which people of all ages can come and speak and learn Yiddish through immersion for a week.
I noticed in this youtube movie most of the people are OLD HEADS - Yes, I hate old people. Where are the young people? Learning hebrew.. how many young jews really want to learn Yiddish?
I am not convinced, and believe that Yiddish will die out in the next 40 years.

I think it can survive. Many Orthodox Jews speak it as a first language. If no one else speaks it, at least they will

If Israel hates this language, and tries to enact every rule against it, then why bother? I mean, can Yiddish survive without Israel's support?
