Hello from Ukraine

Ukrainian Jew:
I guess I'm especially lonely since I'm part of the small Jewish community in L'viv (or Lemberik in Yiddish) and there are very few Jews here but we still have a synagogue (Orthodox), but I'm Conservative so it has been a problem that we have nowhere to worship. But I do keep the faith and pray with my family. There used to be many synagogues but they were destroyed by the Germans and then after the war the Russians would execute the clergy of the remaining synagogues, so now only one remains. I find it embarrassing that as a proud Jew I can speak English, though not very well (in addition to Ukrainian) but I can't speak Yiddish. But I hope to change that soon  :)

Zelhar:
Welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

Yiddish is in decline. Most Jews cant speak it anymore.

Why is it a problem?
You can pray at the Orthodox shul.
I know Jews that identify as such that daven at Orthodox shuls.
Besides you may as well go for the real deal instead of the watered down version.
