Should Jews speak Yiddish?
KalmanBenMenachem:
My personal feeling is that if more efforts had been made to keep Yiddish going and transmit it to the young, they might feel more connected with Yiddishkeit.
Zelhar:
Some hasdidim in Israel still speak it as first language. It's ok but it could never become an official language in Israel as far as I am concerned, which nobody wants to make it so anyway.

In the neighborhood I grew up in New York Yiddish was the language many Jews used... It should not be lost but in my opinion Hebrew should be the official language.
