If you can’t say something nice about someone, say it in Yiddish.

About 30 years ago, I was the Activities Director at a Kosher Nursing Facility. Many of the residents were Holocaust Survivors living out their remaining days there. I was responsible for providing them with entertainment, Recreational Therapy, and religious life. Very few of them knew Hebrew except for prayers, but they ALL knew Yiddish.

So I learned it. Now, thirty years later, I am an Irish-Indian-Christian Lady who sings and speaks Yiddish! Most of my Jewish Customers who are in their thirties don’t speak or understand it. I think it is nice that it is coming back, as it is a very fun and delightful language, from which we get a LOT of American Expressions.
