that's so sad גרויס בושה און שאַנד... instead of teaching them hebrew so that they could read the torah, communicate with their brothers in israel, contribute to the hebrew culture, consume hebrew culture and build their house one day in israel- these idiots teach these children yiddish in the gola which is an upcoming disaster to the jewish people. there is no future for the jewish people in the gola! just look at how many jews assimilate and leave the jewish people each year.
You are missing the point. By learning Yiddish, they ARE keeping the culture. Like it or not, language is a huge component of culture and identity. Yiddish is the mother language of the Ashkenazi Jews. Maybe YOU don't approve but it is a fact.
@Lagolop the facts are that yiddish is a dead languange. it's used only by the orthodox jews. it's written in hebrew letters and has a lot of hebrew words. it's the symble of the diaspora. hebrew is the languange of appromixaly 7.4 million jews across the world. in numbers-that's the most spoken languange of the jewish people. hebrew is their revival. hebrew is their roots. why not teaching them that languange?? they can actually communicate with other kids in that languange. there's a warm
"the facts are that yiddish is a dead languange. it's used only by the orthodox jews."
LOL, du drayt zikh arum vie a fortyz in russel mit ayer shprakh. Esn kak, shtarbn, un gei in drerd arein.
I'm not orthodox, not even Jewish. Yiddish is far from toyt.
Actually, ARAMAIC is the original language of the Jewish people.
I've nothing against learning Hebrew, but u r not being truthful about Yiddish. It's an ENORMOUS part of Jewish history & culture & it is a cool language :)
@Lagolop hebrew is the original languange. aramic was spoken widley pre the expulsion from israel. hebrew is the languange found in archeological findings, hebrew is the psalms, hebrew is the bible and the prayers and the most important literature of the jewish people. the great poets of sfarad wrote in hebrew which is similar to the modern hebrew. kafpka wrote in hebrew. yiddish is hebrew letters. the majority of the jewish people speak that languange. of course yiddish and ladino are allright
@Lagolop every word in hebrew has a root and a meaning. the whole kabala world is based on hebrew, gematria and etc. ladino is a great languange too. i'm not saying not to learn it, i'm only saying to learn it only after learning hebrew cause relatively it's more important. these kids can contribute to the hebrew israeli culture one day.
There is no "Hebrew" culture, not really. Hebrew is a language. Jewish people come from all sorts of cultures. What is wrong with keeping the Ashkenazi culture alive, after all look at all the great minds minds the Ashkenazi culture has produced in the sciences, arts, mathematics, medicine, technology etc. If not for the Ashkenazic culture, do you honestly think Israel would be the gem that is currently is?
@Lagolop of course there a hebrew culture. when you pray, dream, love, create, study and sing in hebrew- you definitelly have a hebrew culture. there are jokes in hebrew that can't be translated. the bible is in hebrew. catch phrases, poems, hollidays- everything is in hebrew. i can say the same thing about "yiddish" culture. b.t.w i'm 4th generation for hebrew speakers in israel from my father side and my mother side. i am half ahkenzi myself. i respect yiddish but it's not as imporatant as
@Lagolop to study hebrew. all i'm saying is this- learn yiddish but only after you know hebrew cause at least you have something to do with this. i say the same thing about ladino.
I understand your point for sure. But I'm not sure it m aces a difference. One can be Jewish without knowing a word of Hebrew or from an ethnic POV, one can be Jewish even if he is an atheist.
Maybe if I was in Israel I would think ore like you. MAybe if I knew more about Judaism I would too. I'm hoping to go to Israel next winter to volunteer with SAREL.
Hebrew is part of the past and future but, OTOH, I think English is a language all Israelis should know too. And it appears that you have a good grasp of English yourself.
@Lagolop it's true that all israelies just like any other citizen around the world should know english. of course you can be a jew without lnowing a word in hebrew since jews are ethnic people. a jew with national feelings and a jew that sees himselfs and his faith with his brothers in israel should understand hebrew. unfortunlly many young secular jews abroad choose to ignore this languange and choose not to create or consume hebrew culture. the future of the jews lies in israel. there's a
Of course Jews are an ethnic ppl. Only Israel deniers and Jew haters keep yelling that being Jewish is only about a religion. Jews have been in Europe since 600BC as reported by some sources. I know a mikva was found not long ago in the Rhineland that is dated to ~ 200BC. I bet hardly anyone of Euro decent doesn't have at least a bit of Jewish genetics ...LOL.
To me, Jews are a nation of various ppl with a common culture and/or ethnicity, and/or religious belief.
I think the future for Jews is anywhere they want to be BUT I do agree that Israel is more important now than ever before. No Zionism = no Israel = potentially nisht Yidden.
@Lagolop place also to keep and conserve yiddish and ladino. the jews of france are diffrent than their brothers in north america. not because they're mainly sfaradim, but because they're more involved in israel and i mean practically invovled- they learn hebrew, a lot of them join the IDF, they hear a lot of hebrew songs, they make their vacation more in israel, buy homes in israel and relatively make more aliya than them.
I think Jews from all over make aliya. I have seen many vids about that. And many American, Canadian, South African etc Jews join the IDF. Not just French Jews.
BTW, the ppl you named are for the most part Ashkenazim, not Sephardim. Remember where Ben Gurion and Hertzl came from?
BTW, there is a town in the province next to us that is called Hirsch (in Saskatchewan). Yep, need after no other than Baron de Hirsch. It began as a Jewish pioneer agriculture settlement.
BTW, there were a a number of such agricultural settlements in Western Canada. In my own province (Alberta), there were quite a few as well in the provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba.
Here is a link to describe the ones in Saskatchewan; the province my wife is from, and is to the east of where we live. You may find it of interest.
@Lagolop if one want to understand jewish culture better- he must know hebrew. a lot of american jews speak about their past in eastern europe(some even about syria) and they ignore the israeli story at all. when they speak about famous jews they mention einstein, bohr, froyd, kapfka and etc. what about hertzl? ben gurion? jabutinsky? katzanelson? haim nakhman bialik our great poet? begin? what about the great sfaradim like the rambam or rabi yehuda halevi? it has a lot to do with america as
I will have fun 4 sure. I have several friends that have been to Israel & all loved it % many go repeatedly.
I misread ur comment 2 me about Ben Gurion et al. I thought u were saying they were all from Israel. Ya know what, u do not need to convince me of just how amazing the ppl in Israel r, Sephardim or Ashkenazim. Look at what they have done in just over 60 years. What a gem they have created in the middle of a shit hole region. What other ppl have accomplished that :)
@Lagolop wow, your knowledge about the jewish people is amazing, and seemingly also about the middle east. r u sure you're not a jew?? :) i heard about the baron hirch. he made the same thing in argentina. anyway, i live in netanya which is 30 k"m north of tel aviv. i'll be glad to meet you when you come to israel. netanya is a lovely city that reminds a bit of a french riviere(mainly cause you hear a lot of french there). have fun, drink well, eat well and party as much as you can my friend.
Yes, Baron de Hirsch did have colonies in Argentina. U can watch vids about the Jewish Gauchos. I am going to send u a link to a site about the Jewish people where I live. There r some great old photos of the pioneering Jews. One picture in particular is very cool. A cowboy with a huge Magen David on his shirt ... LOL. My area is a big ranching & farming area in the province of Alberta in Canada.
PS I am sure I have Jewish roots. And my last name is a German Jewish name. My ancestors came from Europe to Canada in the 1800's. My mother's side from Ukraine (or whatever it was called back then); my dad's side was from Austria.
I will, but first I have to see if I CAN go. With SAREL they interview you first. There is somebody near me that does the interviews. There are SAREL offices in the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany etc. I know both Christians ad Jews from here that had been and everyone raves about how much they enjoyed Israel and the people. Although they said that may Israelis are meshuge ...LOL, especially driving!
@Lagolop not only israelies are meshugane, the whole world is :)
i don't know why you need sarel for this but if it makes it more easy than why not. in israel you can check if your ancestres were jewish in the house of the diaspora in tel aviv. C YA L8TER ALIGA8OR
The reason for SAREL is t hat I get to volunteer for the IDF and that means a lot to me. Basically you do whatever needs to be done on a military base. Usually small jobs, bit it frees up the reserves to do more important work (if you get my drift). It is my way of helping (a mitzvah).
I am currently working on my ancestry. House of Diaspora? Hmmm, I'll look into that. A dank and תודה :)
@Lagolop place for the yiddish, but it should be learnt only after hebrew. i can say the same thing about the ladino- the languange of the sfaradim. where's the god damned head??!! they shouldn't aliente hebrew culture.
Ladino, a beautiful language based on Medieval Castilian. Unfortunately, it IS a dying tongue. Very few speakers these days.
I don't get u; what do u insist that learning Yiddish is alienating ANYTHING?! All it is doing is keeping the Ashkenazi culture alive & well. It's a beautiful thing. I wish I could speak Yiddish better than I do; I'm piss poor at it but I try, and I love the sound and the humour in it. We use Yiddish borrow words in English & German all the time.
PS Even modern Hebrew uses some Yiddish words and most Israelis know at east some words of Yiddish. In Israel there is a revival of sort I have heard, and it is possible to learn it at universities. Same here in Canada.
@Lagolop the revival is so small. yiddish is only a hobby. the jews in america and elsewhere should put more effort on hebrew. israel is the only place for the future of the jewish people. all over the world jews assimilate and leave this holy people. why should the jews of the diaspora create only in the local languanges?? why not in hebrew? hebrew is there languange too no matter if you're a sfaradi or ashkenazi. hebrew is "sma israel" "שמע ישראל" hebrew is "bar mitzva" "בר מצווה" even on th
Hebrew, as nice as it is, is a very foreign language to us in North America. Yiddish is in the same linguistic family as English, Dutch & German so it is easier to actually grasp.
Not to say it is of any commercial use.
English is the current lingua franca on this planet if u want to do business. Why do you think so many Israelis can speak it at least to some extent.
@Lagolop even on the weding day we say "im tishakakh yerushalayim tishakakh yemini" "אם תשכח ירושלים תשכח ימיני" which means: if i'll forget jerusalem i'll forget my right arm.
yiddish was brutaly murdered and now we should concentrate on the livings. we should learn hebrew. it's important for the redemption of the jewish people.
"yiddish was brutaly murdered and now we should concentrate on the livings. we should learn hebrew. it's important for the redemption of the jewish people."
Nazis tried to murder Yiddish & the speakers of it, but they did not succeed, a dankn Got. THAT is 1 reason to protect Yiddish & the attached culture, & part of that culture is the very same as what EVERY Jew practices, regardless where they live.
But I do understand ur point, & I am sorry for what I wrote earlier to u.
In case people are wondering why her response is off from the questions at around 5:56, they are speaking different dialects. In the southern dialect, the word for "where" is pronounced the same as the way the northern dialect pronounces "how"
teils hört man Dialekt Fetzen aus Heppenheim , ahaha , Lustig auch , dass die Interviewerin einige Male englische wörter benutzt, die die Kinder dann korrigieren.
Yiddish is not "just German". Yes it is Germanic but it is a distinct language based on Medieval High German. But it also cottons Hebrew, Aramaic and Slavic borrow words. ALL languages take on borrow words including Engish AND various German dialects.
There are several dialects of Yiddish and the "accent" will vary with location just as other German tongues will vary. Does this sound Polish to you; if so you do not know Polish OR German at all.
You are confusing the Toddlers with your gibberish Jidderisch! No wonder the kids are laughing at you, and making fun of you. Poor kids, they should be teaching YOU! I'm a native Ruhr Jiddisch speaker. I can understand the kids perfectly, even the Toddlers! You - not so good. Read "Praktische Grammatik der jiddischen Sprache; Vienna and Leipzig, 1918" by Solomon Birnbaum. LOL
@DanishRoyalFan15 Germany, altough the girl that asks them seems to me british because his accent speaking jiddisch ( britain is one of the countries with most jiddisch speakers in europe i think)
@wolga999 Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass Jiddisch ein Dialekt ist, ich habe gesagt, dass es deutschen Dialekten ähnlich klingt. Das harte CH erinnert an Alemannisch, das rollende R an bairisch/fränkisch. Bis auf die einzelnen hebräischen Begriffe, versteht man alles gut. Jiddisch zählt außerdem zu den germanischen Sprachen mit slawischen und hebräischen Elementen. Weshalb man Iwrit entwickelte. Man sollte eine semitische Sprache wieder als Sprache aller Juden haben.
Hey guys. I am from Germany and my first language is German and yes, i understand everything easily. It's very interesting. It sounds like a German dialect (f.e. Swabian or Alemannic). It's nice :-)
@vapidwords I dont' really speak german...just a couple of words... but I did recognize some of them when the kids were talking ... so I guess germans can easily understand.
@vapidwords It ls like German, but not really. Because it is mixed with Hebrew, German, Aramaic, Slavic, and Romantic languages. Yiddish is mixture of different. As someone who speak German, I understand some of it.
@LittleImpaler Yiddish sounds like German because it is derived from Middle High German. It is slightly different than modern German, but I agree, they're very similar. The two main languages Yiddish is derived from are Middle High German and Hebrew. There are only a few words influenced by the other languages you mentioned.
Ignore the idiot called @LITTELMPALER. This moron has some sort of agenda and CONTINUALLY trolls Yiddish vids to spew garbage as if they know what they speak about.

Yiddish is just German with polish accent and some hebrew words, so their american accent sounds a bit strange on it.

Yiddish is not "just German". Yes it is Germanic but it is a distinct language based on Medieval High German. But it also cottons Hebrew, Aramaic and Slavic borrow words. ALL languages take on borrow words including Engish AND various German dialects.
There are several dialects of Yiddish and the "accent" will vary with location just as other German tongues will vary. Does this sound Polish to you; if so you do not know Polish OR German at all.

You are confusing the Toddlers with your gibberish Jidderisch! No wonder the kids are laughing at you, and making fun of you. Poor kids, they should be teaching YOU! I'm a native Ruhr Jiddisch speaker. I can understand the kids perfectly, even the Toddlers! You - not so good. Read "Praktische Grammatik der jiddischen Sprache; Vienna and Leipzig, 1918" by Solomon Birnbaum. LOL

@wolga999 Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass Jiddisch ein Dialekt ist, ich habe gesagt, dass es deutschen Dialekten ähnlich klingt. Das harte CH erinnert an Alemannisch, das rollende R an bairisch/fränkisch. Bis auf die einzelnen hebräischen Begriffe, versteht man alles gut. Jiddisch zählt außerdem zu den germanischen Sprachen mit slawischen und hebräischen Elementen. Weshalb man Iwrit entwickelte. Man sollte eine semitische Sprache wieder als Sprache aller Juden haben.

Hey guys. I am from Germany and my first language is German and yes, i understand everything easily. It's very interesting. It sounds like a German dialect (f.e. Swabian or Alemannic). It's nice :-)

@vapidwords I dont' really speak german...just a couple of words... but I did recognize some of them when the kids were talking ... so I guess germans can easily understand.

@vapidwords It ls like German, but not really. Because it is mixed with Hebrew, German, Aramaic, Slavic, and Romantic languages. Yiddish is mixture of different. As someone who speak German, I understand some of it.
LittleImpaler 7 months ago
@LittleImpaler Yiddish sounds like German because it is derived from Middle High German. It is slightly different than modern German, but I agree, they're very similar. The two main languages Yiddish is derived from are Middle High German and Hebrew. There are only a few words influenced by the other languages you mentioned.
