Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013. Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum
Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.
Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

whats yiddish and hebrew? like, the difference
Hebrew is NOT exactly the "Jewish language." It is the national language of Israel, and also the language in which the Torah is written in, but since all Jewish people are not Israeli and the Torah has been translated, Hebrew is not necessary to know to be Jewish.
Many Jewish people come from Slavic countries (Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, etc) and from Germany. Yiddish is a mix of Hebrew and all of these languages.
I'd say that more non-Jews know Yiddish. For example, "Oy vey," and "Ay gevalt" are both Yiddish phrases.
"Zeis keppe" means sweet head (literally), and that looks like German, does it not?
Yiddish, also, is not necessary to know to be Jewish.
