Not much any more. Not muich! Did you know that the great Daily Forward
paper, home of great Yiddish lit and democratic socialism, has been a
weekly in English the last couple of years. And you find in today's NYC
that the hundreds oif thousands of ex-Soviet Jews who moved to Brighton
Beach and such are way more likely to speak Russian than Yiddish at
all...It's becoming a passng language--but there are those who are working
to keep it alive.
