In reply to the discussion: Teacher Removed From Classroom After Calls to Kill Some Jews Come to Light [View all]See #12. It all came back to me after a bit. The website used to be a Yiddish paper/mag that I read in NYC.
I didn't really speak Yiddish at all except to my parents and grandmother and read it to try to keep/refresh the language. Sadly, I don't think I've spoken more than the occasional word or phrase in Yiddish since about 1980 when my mother died. My children and grandchildren don't speak it at all.
Little trivia, but Israel had an official "no Yiddish" policy for a long time -- forcing people to speak Hebrew, English, or Arabic --- so as to unify the various groups of Jewish folks from the Diaspora. Basically only islands of Hasids speak it, and not all. Smart, but also sad to see it go the way of Ladino and various other languages. Probably more Yiddish speakers in NYC than Israel.
That said, I'm happy the paper not only made the leap to English but is a successful website.
