I loooooooved this episode! Looooooooed this! Frieda, firstly I loved hearing about your childhood memories, and about your family! Secondly, I looooooooved that this segment was all in Yiddish! Can you PLEASE do an all Yiddish segment again? It was so much fun, and gave me a chance to refresh my Yiddish! I picked up Yiddish from my Bubby who was a Holocaust survivor, and I was very close to her. We had such a loving relationship, and when I hear, and practice Yiddish it reminds me of my Bubby, and the love that she had for me, and my kids! Also, I looooooved having Eli Benedict on your show. PLEASE have him on again! He is a sweetheart, and loads of fun! Frieda, this is the best episode ever! Chodesh Elul Tov! Shana Tova!
It’s GREAT to see this conversation in Yiddish - as I’d reallly like to learn this language better. But it would REALLY help to attract “Yiddish learners” like myself, who are not yet experienced enough to understand your entire conversation - if there was any way to add subtitles. I KNOW that is a LOT of work - but IF part of your purpose is to attract A2-B1 level learners - adding subtitles would go a long way toward doing so. THANK YOU so much for considering! - Ken Grauer, MD (P.S. Unlike most other languages - there just is not much “out there” regarding real-life Yiddish conversations with subtitles … ).
Eli - thank you so much for hosting such a lovely event. It was such a pleasure. You are a wonderful host! I also have to compliment your post-production edits. You added some lovely pictures. Shkoyach!
Rabbi Yom-Tov Ehrlich (Hebrew: יום-טוב עהרליך) (1914-1990) was a renowned Hasidic musician, composer, lyricist, recording artist, and popular entertainer known for his popular Yiddish music albums. He was born in a small village, Kozhan Gorodok, Russian Empire, and raised in a nearby village, Davyd-Haradok, Belarus (then Poland). He survived the Holocaust in Samarkand, Soviet Union. Later, he moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York Source: Wikipedia
Willamsburg’s Poet Laureate: Yom Tov Ehrlich By Michael Casper Oh! Williamsburg! She has no equal, She is water of life, Jerusalem For the exiled Jew. Williamsburg! A mezuzah on the door, She is full of song, full of awe- Good health to her. -from Yom Tov Ehrlich’s poem, “Williamsburg Source: The Brooklyn Rail
"From the comedic to the whimsical to the thought-provoking, the music of Reb Yom Tov Simcha Ehrlich (of whom the Satmar Rebbe once said, “Wherever he goes is Yom Tov, he brings simchah, and he’s erlich”) lives on and still motivates, encourages, and speaks an underlying truth that’s ever-relevant." Source: Mishpacha Magazine
"And who better than Levy Falkowitz? A Williamsburg-born Satmar chassid who lives today near Kiryas Joel, the 35-year-old with the golden voice has just produced an album of Reb Yom Tov’s creations that connects to the modern chassidish worlds of Williamsburg and Boro Park the same way they did when Reb Yom Tov Ehrlich’s accordion expanded and contracted to the music of his time."

"Born and raised in a Hasidic family in B'nai B'rak, Eli Benedict is now a secular Hasid, a Yiddish activist, a leader in Yung Yiddish and YO-Yiddish Ort. He is a researcher with the UCL Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish research project and teaches Yiddish for the Swedish Federation for Yiddish. Eli is also an actor and a dancer and teaches courses on Hasidic/Jewish dance." What is a secular Hasid?
It's hard to explainHere as a short response. Maybe I'll do a chapter on that in the future. Broadly speaking, it is the adoption of the Hasidic approach to life but without the religion.
Can you please add english subtitles for us ignorant non yiddish speakers?? I think i'm missing out on something good, especially after reading the comments

Thanks for the comments. I meant that there is no halacha in any book regarding the use of any letters regarding Yiddish. What you wrote about the form of the script and the restrictions on how to use it, as far as I know it is about a script as written in the Sefer Torah, with special markings and not the usual script of the type that is used in Hebrew.@@ariebrons7976

Dear Ms. Vizel,
Thanks for the effort, but may I criticise the Hebrew spelling?
Hebrew has a fiddely writing systhem wherein a mistake,
can cause misunderstandings.
My dad once misspelled
חג שמאח
like חג שמן
My mum really disliked the premise
of gaining weight during the holidays.

Did you mean
אטעם פנה ברוכלין
(I will taste the face of Brooklyn?)

To my limmited knowlege the frase "Awaken each of my hands"
should be spelled:

May I ask;
Shouldn't it be written in cursive (ketav yad) or unicial (Rashi)?
Doesn't the halakha say something about not writing three assyrian letters?
Today's halacha does not say about that.
