First, I’d like to also point out how the hatred is so clear. Someone asks how to speak a language that was spoken by all of Ashkenazic Jewry and their Torah leaders for literally hundreds of years and the first post you see is of one who discourages the person from learning Yiddish.

As a 40 year old man, I have encountered quite a bit of this phenomenon. The pro secular Hebrew crowd bashing the traditional or contemporary Yiddish language speakers. I challenge anyone to refute the fact that there are “hundreds of thousands” of Yiddish speakers throughout the world. What kind of angry and biased Jewish people seek to uproot this holy language. The Chassam Sofer called it holy and every Chassidishe and Litvishe gadol spoke it exclusively. As a matter of fact, in Germany Jews spoke German and Yiddish. When Moshiach comes, he will set the record straight as to which language has more sanctity to it. Zionist Hebrew or Chareidi Yiddish.
