little joys of learning Yiddish: knowing the author of the Tevye stories wrote under a pen name that’s basically “hello” (literally translated “peace upon you”)
in honor of this I shall henceforth be writing under the name Halen Welmet

Holy grail for Yiddish learners- a massive collection of over 100 Yiddish audiobooks books recorded by native speakers! You can listen on the internet, download to listen as mp3, and read along from the free uploaded copies on the Yiddish book center website - and it’s all completely free and accessible, no password needed
#In particular I recc this for other relative beginners#Even if you can’t understand it’s good to hear native speakers reading off literary stuff about everyday life rather than solely the topic#Of Yiddish itself#Yiddish#ייִדיש#Yiddish langblr#Learning Yiddish

Please use this post to gush about your favorite jewish music, music that's themed around judaism, or anything like that... This is totally not because I want to listen to more music like this but have no idea where to start. Totally not.......

Has anyone else noticed the weird appropriation of Yiddish for specifically anti-zionist spaces? It makes me deeply uncomfortable.
#its gross#why are you all so fucking weird about jews#why cant you be normal#these same people are like “jews are a diaspora people so thats why we learn yiddish'#without thinking or asking where the diaspora is from#because you cant have a diaspora without a point of origin.....#and then they still deny jews are indigenous to israel#so they dont care about most mizrahi jews who literally live there and have forever#but then they kind of have this weird fascination with yemeni jewish culture#and like exoticize (?) Mizrahi jews#but not if youre from israel then youre immoral and evil

Duolingo, at it again with the incredibly useful phrases that I will no doubt be using frequently in everyday conversation...
Also, why does the bear give me the impression that it sees dead people because it just... killed a bunch of people?

Hey ישראבלר and jumblr! Do any of you speak Yiddish? I'm considering learning it, but I feel like I need a good reason to. It'd be really cool if one of y'all out there knows Yiddish and wants to learn Hebrew, so we could teach each other!
(If you just wanna learn Hebrew and don't know any Yiddish I'd still be glad to be your conversation partner, I'm Israeli and Hebrew is my first language.)
Either way, Shabbat shalom everyone 💙🤍

falsettos in yiddish. that's the post
#UGH BUT CAN HYOU IMAGINE#the commentary on the nuclear family would be on ANOTHER LEVEL#the commentary on JEWISH IDENTITY & MASCULINITY????? so FUCKING rich & complex#& having the lesbians from next door speak english. & having unlikely lovers be in both yiddish and english at the same time. OHHHHHHH#🎶 kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch modne modne modne modne kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch 🎶#the jokes would be funnier. the sad parts would hit harder. all in all the range of human emotion would be more intense & more moving#because it's carrying thousands of years of trauma and it's carrying it in such a way that physically cannot be ignored or bypassed#it would also be the biggest win for queer jews since like. harvey milk#SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IT I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE#I'LL LEARN YIDDISH AND TRANSLATE IT MYSELF#falsettos

Respect to Sam for creating every Christmas one-shot characters very much Jewish (remember Bundlestein Sprucenberg from "The Night Before Critmas ?") and making lots of jokes about it.
The Yiddish/German joke made me laugh so much
#I learned a new word ! Mishpacha. I did suspect it was yiddish but didn't know the meaning of it#critical role#A Daggerheart Critmas Story
