Reply To: Enough with the yiddish already

Health: You think when the Mishnah or Gemara uses Hebrew words that aren’t in Chumash that the Ba’alei Hamishnah or Gemara added them personally? It was just representative of the spoken language at the time. Ben Yehudah himself may not have been someone to standardize a language. But when people start speaking that way it’s what the language itself becomes.
