Totally agree

I need to learn Yiddish for the reason to...talk to my grandson. Help me to learn, please

We played this today in our Yiddish Club. Folks noticed 2 errors in the subtitles: At 0:14, it needs the word "why" --Do you know why...? Then at 0:54. The year was '68, not '86.

I like this. I'm going to play it today for my Yiddish Club (on Zoom).

Why not

WONDERFULLY STATED. THANK-YOU .

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY 🕯️

How come you ignore the one thing that enirely, radically changed Yiddish and made what was a thriving, almost-universal language into an almost-dead language confined to a few traditionalist islands, with a ridiculously low number of mother-tongue speakers? That monster that killed (on design!) the Yiddish language was Zionism. The Zionists swore -- already mid-19th-century --- to kill Yiddish and systematically proceeded to invent a constructed language, out of elements of Biblical Hebrew, Slavic grammar turns, as many as possible non-Yiddish neologisms, etc. called "Modern Hebrew". Their politically motivated propaganda and social engineering campaign quickly produced mother-tongue speakers for the newfangled language and they imposed it wherever British and American imperial might allowed them to convert people to Zionism. They killed not only Yiddish, but another beautiful mother tongue, Ladino or Judeo-Spanish, which today is to all practical effects already a dead language. All othe influences of Yiddisch from the events in the 20th century are dwarfed when compared to the murder of Yiddish by the Zionists.

It sounded more Bri'ish when I first heard it.

The city of Sarayevo has many followers of "Shabtay T'zevi",altough they are under different religions,but, they also know how to speak Ladino

The Quarrel is a brilliant "two hander" as has been said, and Saul and R H are perfect together.

What a wonderful story from a wonderful man. From joy, to tragedy, to sorrow. All of life in this one interview. RIP Leonard Nimoy.🙏

My parents spoke Yiddish and then translated so i would what they said!

That hand signal has to do with ETs and their languange. He was meant to bring it to the people.

Finns will be interested to learn that they're in Central and Eastern Europe.

This is a great example of changing how we do something for the sake of K'lal Yisrael

There are STILL good people, who are not sheep and follow their convictions of decency and humanity.

Im so sorry. israeli government should have done more to preserve the language.

My mother’s father was a German Jewish engineer who worked for Siemans and in the late 1930s was imprisoned in Dachau because of his “racial background”. His former boss at Siemens was a member of the Nazi party who managed to pull some strings and get him released from Dachau. The man also arranged for him to get put on a boat heading towards the Philippines out of harms way where my grandfather found work with GM. Later under the Japanese occupation of the Philippines he was arrested by Japanese soldiers who thought the prominent “J” (for “Jude” / Jew) in his passport meant that he was anti-Japanese. In the prison camp that he was sent to, he was called into the office of the commander who spoke to him in perfect English which surprised my grandfather. The man closed the door and it was just him and my grandfather in the office. The Japanese commander explained that he had studied in the USA (hence the perfect English) and knew that my grandfather was Jewish. He mentioned that he disagreed with Hitler’s politics and explained that since his family is of noble Samurai descent , he had no choice but to fight for his country. He gave my grandfather some glue (which he could sell) and money and released him. Goes to show there are good people even on the “evil side” in every conflict.

I love to speak yiddish. It is such a warm language

damnnn

Sublime, amazing. Thank you so much for posting it.

Finnish Army operated field synagogues for their Jewish troops. Heinrich Himmler once visited Finland and told the Finnish prime minister "We need to discuss your Jewish problem". The answer he got was "we do not have a Jewish problem". The topic was never brought up again.

May I ask your age? I'm doing research for a movie script

What a beautiful story.

Mickey Katz's parodies were so very funny, like being violently tickled-- and the Klezmer was so tight and fierce!

He really comes across as a very sweet and genuine man. How nice!

They were smart enough to understand that Zionism is colonialist and genocidal, they were proven right.

❤ Beautiful heart full sentiments REST In Peace
