A bundle of paradoxes held together by chewing gum and twine.

@Vlo_Avlasa_Bo This is one of many many ways frum women are pushed out of religious spaces. Do better.

@jewishmemequeen @zschrieber Chassidim call it Pshevorsk kigel

@katlekanye What's Yiddish for a safe summer?

[Chanch @cwiseraven]

@YossiGoldstein8 @shlishkas @Wolf_Yakov @JewYid Sshhh!! Keep the secret. We can't afford prices to go up even more.

@yoniChanowitz Other than not buying her a pair of tefillin and a black hat, how is it different than making a bar mitzvah?

@DBashIdeas The post set a baseline of knowledge someone needs in order to earn the right to speak "on behalf of the Jewish people." There are frum women who can't recall ששה סדרים משנה or the שו"ע (only briefly mentioned in school decades ago). These women live by their contents every day.

@mberger260 @DBashIdeas And yet... Since it's not taught for both alike, the OP's list is male-centric and a great example of male gatekeeping.

@MeyerLabin Doesn't smoke?? In frumville??

[Chanch @cwiseraven]

@JudahAriGross @DBashIdeas Yes. They've been erased.

@yoniChanowitz In the text of megillah itself she is a neutral character.

It's not easy being an outside the box religious Jew living in a secular society because you're an anticonformist conformist anticonformist.

@HannahWardEdu As a kid, I didn't realize I was reading a watered-down version. When I finally read the originals, I resented that the plot twists had been spoiled.

@ldkop This is so niche, I'm not sure anyone in my pun group will get it 😀

@a_a_viswanath Confirmed. The usage is alive and well among young girls in (Satmar) Williamsburg.

[Chanch @cwiseraven]

@a_a_viswanath How young is young?

Williamsburg (Satmar?...) millenials of both genders definitely speak that way.

Boys of all ages, too.

I am conducting some informal polls to try to find out whether it has shifted among young girls, but that's what I have so far.

[Chanch @cwiseraven]

@a_a_viswanath This weirdness is Boro Park Yiddish.

Williamsburg Yiddish is still
אונז גיימער
עטץ גייטס
זיי גייען

Monsey Yiddish is its own hybrid, complete with a subtle in-between accent.

This Shabbos I started reading The Gods of New York by Jonathan Mahler.

I also read this beautiful collection of poems about Paris - Paris in Our View - published by Shakespeare and Company.

@JewishWonk Aa chassidish Yiddish gets more Americanized, fewer actual Yiddish words are used in casual conversation, though you'll still see it in print. Gesheft has been replaced by store.

Have you heard the Yiddish expression
? א געשעפט האב איך
Idiom for "what do I care"
