And one more thing – Lipa Schmeltzer is sparking a new interest in Yiddish as he has basically demystified the Chassidish lifestyle of which his dialect of Yiddish is a part and made it creative, offbeat and welcoming (which was the intention of the Baal Shem Tov).
I am sure more Lipa’s are on the way and people will be learning to at least understand Yiddish from Chassidish singers and badchonim who enter the general Jewish market with their albums and performances (my daily vocabulary improved quite a bit when Avremel released his Yom Tov Ehrlich tapes and listening to Lipa, Michoel Schnitzler and Yonason Schvartz helps me quite a bit when it comes to everyday speech).
