    Its always so beautiful and brings tears to my eyes to hear the yiddish!! For me as a German it shows how close we ppl used to be in the past and that the yewish community was so included in the german society over such a long time in a way that our languages melted together... Its incredible and so sad at the same time... We were neighbours, we were friends, ppl living next to each other... Makes me speechless... And that kind of emotions coming up whenever im hearing so. speaking yiddish. I Love you Guys. And yeah history connects us in a way thats very cruel but at the same time theres still those artefacts that speak their own language (like yiddish) showing how Close we used to be culturally...❤

      We have all sinned against a Holy and Righteous God and will have to face judgement one day, and give an account of the wrong things we have done in our lives.
      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.
      I hope you will think about these things before the time.

So, on the contrary, what you could say is that it is almost like unrequited love going the other way.
      I understand how as a Persecuted community, it can become culturalised that the whole world is against you. But believe me, hundreds of millions loved and Love you and need you to open up love to them back. It has always shocked me that your community feel this way and when you feel this way, it can influence how you conduct your relationship with other communities and can create barriers and suspicion. You have to remember millions went to war and died for you e. G. from Black communities . That is love. No higher love than that. So no please,.it is a great wrong and a disservice to group all other communities into one block as the whole world hating you.
      Feeling like that can drive actions,.réactions decisions that border on showingThe Opposite of love and regards to those who just love you even though they don't know why, or, at the extreme end treating them as an enemy or opposition, or etc.
      Mind you, immense lessons are to be learned from you regarding how you prevailed. But Please spread the message, and heal your hearts with this: millions left Their families, continents shed their blood and hearts and never returned home, so that your hearts can beat today! Don't grieve their hearts, lift your head and. Spirits up by the knowledge that is not being hated but love. By all.means preserve your culture but open the windows, and. Doors and break forth. Into. Singing. And dancing, and let those who sacrificed smile that it was not in vain. The very least they deserve is that you live your life freefrom enclosement based on the incorrect narrative that there are more or millions against you. This is because they set you free.
      I know what I am Saying is very important because when you are closed off for decades, I can understand how one can hold onto beliefs both correct and incorrect from the WW2 period and how damaging not only that can do Psychologically within the community but it can lead to wrong decisions or. Responses which then generate resentment or. Condemnation and. It. Becomes entrenched vicious cycle. I have seen or heard accounts from.some Jews shocked to find others love them because they been brought up to feel others hate them.
      So Sending love down your way to your community, there are millions who unquestionably love you.

It's funny thing about my family, my mother spoke high german, my father spoke low german. My father would often say to us non german speakers, that our mother was a snob. Of course we had no idea what he was referring to, until our mother explained it to us.

      @@NicoWrites - The predictable “ I have Black people in my family,” My wife fiancé is Black” terms as a way proving that one is not a racist. I don’t know if you are, but none of what you said disproves that. Even a racist can have one or two close relationships with a token Black person, but hate and discriminate against all the others from that group, either personally/directly, or through helping to promote and maintain systemic racism. Slave masters had sex with their slaves, yet almost all still remained in bondage after the act was completed.

      Напишу на русском, чтобы только ты понял мой комментарий.
      Т.е. этот кляйнер поц взял пару камер, пару операторов, выучил буквально десяток фраз на идише (на самом деле четыре фразы), пошел в район, где никто почти не понимает идиш, о чем ему сообщил самый первый встреченный человек, поц продолжил ходить по району и всем улыбаться, и конечно же все реагировали приветливо, чужак пытается говорить на идише, вау. И вот уже три миллиона просмотров и тысячи комментариев какой он молодец.
      Но у меня только один вопрос: а камеры зачем? Даже не одна, а две. И еще: на видео не было ни одного ортодокса. Ортодоксы бы разбили ему его камеры, и правильно бы сделали, потому что нечего использовать их язык и великую культуру для получения просмотров на ютубе.

    As a child, Yiddish was spoken at home. Eons later, only some words and phrases were familiar. As I began learning mandarin-over 10 yrs. ago, I was struck by how many sounds, tones, words ( ex. ni.. shi...ma? ) are similar. I have been learning ASL, as well - truly fun, and, no tongue involved. - born in la belle province= French is mandatory. Colin Powel speaks Yiddish, as did the great James Cagney- explaining that he wanted to get along with everyone in his neighbourhood- you are just such a mensch! You impress and inspire me, I will brush up on Yiddish. Happy 2023 Birthday, Frankie! Wishing You all the best!
