Jesus said there is no one good but God. How shall we fair on judgement day? Jesus died on the cross for all our sins and took our sins on himself, so we can be forgiven and reconciled to God. to all who truly repent of their sins and trust in jesus can receive his gift of eternal salvation. who turn from sin and live a life pleasing to God.

Мне как русскому тоже интересно, почему этот язык называется именно "русским идишом". Ничего похожего на русский я не услышал. Может, этот диалект был придуман евреями, которые жили на территории России/СССР

[@tomatesaccage]

To clarify he is not learning or speaking russian Yiddish, Just there's this old man at the beginning of the video who told him he couldn't talk to him in Yiddish because that old man only knew "russian Yiddish", at least that's what I understood. And yes Yiddish is very similar to german it has many words of Hebrew and other slavic and European influences. As in the middle ages and through out the renaissance the jews had to flee their homes many times because of pogrom, epidemics and other Calamities, whenever they went to another land they brought with them bits and words and customs from the place they used to live so it's a bit of a cultural and language mix indeed with a lot of german in it, same goes for the kletzmer music with estearn European music from Romania and russia and so on.

Well, there's a term "Jewish Russian". JR is one of several post-Yiddish Jewish ethnolects. But I don't think that yiddish spoken in the video is mixed with slavic languages at all?..

"Russian Yiddish" would be the dialect of Yiddish spoken in the areas of the pale of settlement that were part of Russia proper. Honestly I've never heard the term, but the term Lithuanian Yiddish has nothing or virtually nothing to do with the LIthuanian language and Russian Yiddish would not be different.

It takes nothing to judge and hate, but it takes so much courage and hopefulness to actually come and approach and fight the insecurity on both sides of the talk (and orthodox communities have lots of insecurity toward strangers).
