Reply To: Yiddish at Siyum hashas

I personally prefer the English speeches.
Agudas Yisroel hosts the siyum. At the head of Agudah sit the chassidish Rebbe’s and Litvish Rosh Yeshivas. They believe ( right or wrong) that Yiddish is a holy language. The Chassidim who come expect to hear their Rebbe speak in their holy language. I don’t know if Litvishe people expect the same from their Roshei Yeshiva, but I assume that the Roshei Yeshiva prefer Yiddish.
Personally, I agree with the posters who would prefer an English event.
