- In the Middle Ages, many Jews were both forced to and invited to leave Western Europe and move east. They came, but they brought their language with them and created a thriving thousand-year culture in Yiddish. And if they suffered under Christendom, they also sang and studied and laughed. Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean for North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, continues his exploration of medieval Jewish history by discussing the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe.

I am 50% Ashkanazi and thank you for this great info! I'm trying to learn more about my heritage.
Thank you for this excellent series.
They are much appreciated.
Yiddish is a middle high German with loan words from Hebrew,Aramaic and a touch of slavic.
My father Dna is Haplogroup G-M285 also called Haplogroup G1 and aplotype G1a
I found this very interesting. Thank you.
Incidentally : I lived in the Rhineland (Mainz) for some time and I believe the local dialect is similar to Yiddish.
Yiddish is german
Yiddish is one of many different Germanic languages. It is classified as a West German language run the same family as English, Dutch and other West German languages. Yiddish is based on Medieval High German although I have heard others claim it to be an Allemannisch German; similar to Swiss, Bavarian and Austrian. But I am not a linguist so don't quote me.

I can tell you this, there are so many forms of German that in Germany they often have subtitles if a person is speaking anything other than modern Standard German like Bavarian for example.
You don't pronounce it "Troyes", it is pronounced "Twar"
My grandfather and my father they was born on Gargano Mount in Northern Apulia
His information is misleading. But I understand why.
You understand that's very funny coming from a so called Hebrew Israelite.
However I gotta a second name, and my second name is Ester
What do you think about my surname
It sounds sephardic. Maybe from morocco?
Last names were only developed in the 1700s and 1800s. Wealthy Jews picked names like "Diamond", poor Jews got names like Spritzvasser, Spit water.
Where are the 12 tribes today? I am trying to learn the genealogy of the Jews. l've seen in the scriptures say that Ashkenazi came from Gomer Japeth son. How did they become Jews.
False
Ashkenaz came from japhet. He gave beginning to germanic people. Ashkenaz is a hebrew name for Germania. Jews who lived in germany are called ashkenazi jews, same as ethiopean jews are called ethiopian jews but are not really ethiopeans, just jews from ethiopia.
@@user-lp1fu3pv3h Thank you for responding. The Jews came there Shem. There has to be a time when they mixed in through the male bloodline. Do you know where they other twelve may be? I know Moses married an Ethiopian woman.
@@jeffmax4108 what do you mean?
@@mikayah2292 Moses had 2 wives, the first an Ethiopian, Tharbis, this was a political marriage. His other marriage was with, Tzippora, a Midionite, Midian was a son of Abraham and Keturah.
Christianity is full of paganism. And not followers of Yeshua feel that way toward Jews, but then you know that.
I found out my grandson is Jewish and I have a friend who picks on Jewish people so bad and he would sit and do it every time we would talk about the Bible and I got so sick of him running the Jewish people down when I'm sitting there knowing my grandson is that I got mad and I broke up our friendship and I don't have any regrets about it
It is difficult to change someones thinking. I'm sorry you had to end the friendship, so glad you love your grandchild.
He makes the difference on how much he can squeeze out if the peasantry..... all the stories of the horrid tax collectors..........
I enjoy your descriptions and explanations of why this and why that. As a gentile believer in Yeshua I want to understand more of how Judaism has developed. It may seem strange to you as a humanist but I don’t accept the authority of rabbinic Judaism, only the Torah and the prophets. You obviously have a good understanding of the Jewish faith: I wonder what happened to turn you to humanism?
You always have plausible deniability right
Rabbi, as much as I admire your series, I think using these images to make your case about oppression of Jews, is a bit like using Marvel Comic books to prove the existence of Super Guys. Jews were NOT always oppressed as their ethics often forced them to use their intellect generously to local benefit as the Federation in NYC slums. Ithink, as a scientist, that "stable system" is a bit of a misnomer. As a child I recall the respect for Jews but also remember how Jews and non-Jews in East Europe were weary of eachother because everyone was weary of strangers, but familiar Jews were like family. Of course, Romania is not a Catholic nation. But many Jewish families were intermarried so protecting Jews during WWII was quite common and Jews protecting anti-Communists during Red occupation was quite common. That's how my brother, mom and me got out. Jews never really made good Communists. Trotsky's grand-daughter was a colleague at NIH. By the way, I love Israel as the PERFECT EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRY. Ideally, every EastEuro nation becoming like Israel will mean the end of overwhelming from East or West. Let us ever hsil truth, understanding, and the bonds that ties us together into survivors of History's evils by recognizing the power of each of us tasking responsibility an authority over ourselves through study and contemplation. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU as it was JEWS like you that enabled me to adapt to American life, the sith nation I lived in as a refugee. May God give you fsith in your good works.
