I believe it's Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year on September 29.

A Happy New Year, guys!

Yes it is, and calling Hebrew Yiddish is like calling Welsh Irish.

Welsh is Irish. What's your point?

My point is that Yiddish is not Hebrew, but you knew that, now didn't you..

In any case, if he had come up with the acronym HDC, it wouldn't have been as funny.

No, it certainly wouldn't , but we must be accurate in everything we say , write and do.

My Yiddish teacher taught me that.

Have I understood right. (In a state of confusion...) Jiddish was common language in Babylon during beginning of civilization. Both german and hebrew are somekind of vulcar jiddish?

What you mean is gibberish.

Welsh is Brythonic Celtic (= ancient British), Irish is Goedelic Celtic (Gaelic). But you knew that, didn't you?

No you haven't. Yiddish is a mixture of Hebrew and German and was "invented" sometime during the eighteenth century. It's a very common misconception. A lot of people call Hebrew Yiddish and vice versa.

[Kintamayama]

Hey brew up a Wissotzky and chill out.

I did, but not to chill out, but because I was thirsty and have a cup of tea with lemon every morning.

I still think accuracy, cleanliness and honesty are the foundation of our society as it were.

It is my pleasure to be of assistance to all humankind! And it's Yiddish, if we're on the subject..

Not in one of the two languages it was invented from. (Wearing a paperbag...)

In eastern Europe it also mixed with russian.

Eastern Jiddisch(Yiddish) has also many loan worlds from Polish and other Slavic languages. Anyway Jiddish sounds same as my German after midnight in local Kneipe.

[ilovesumo]

I love Yiddish. Sounds so much like Mannsfellisch (very local dialect Luther knew)
