Thank you for acknowledging all those who made this video possible! Such a nice gentleman. There is something about Yiddish - just hearing " Shayna madela" made me feel so loved. I hear Duolingo is now on offering Yiddish, so maybe there will be a resurgence of this endearing and lovely language 💕

It's sad to see most of the Yiddish interviews are done with old people. Where are young people using Yiddish and expressing themselves in Yiddish?
I'm trying to learn it a little bit. Hopefully one day I can do an interview myself.
