Reply To: Yiddish at Siyum hashas

I do not recall anyone giving a speech in Ivrit at the last siyum.

Rational- I am sure that Yiddish is a lovely language and there would be a minimal benefit to learning it. I think the time investment to do so is not worth it. I think I could learn how my car works in less time and there is a lot more practical benefit to learning that skill.

Are there any gedolim alive today that do not speak either fluent English or Hebrew as a primary language?
30 years ago there were. Today, unfortunately, they are gone. Time to realize we live in a different world and get wth the program.
