NY Mom: Thanks for the welcome. I’ve actually been a lurker for a looong time (about a year). I really enjoy reading different points of view on various subjects, but rarely feel strongly enough about any to comment myself. This one I couldn’t resist, since it caused a lot of problems for 2 of my daughters. I believe that it can make a huge difference to many students (both boys and girls) as to whether or not they take an interest in Limudei Kodesh. I believe both my daughters who had trouble with Yiddish lost out on a lot of hashkafah that is taught through Chumash, because they often just tuned out since it was so hard for them to understand.
