quick (?) question for Yiddishists and/or hasidim and/or historians of hasidim: did the Lubavitcher Rebbe adopt a litvish dialect later in life or did the Ukrainian Schneersons retain litvish pronunciation despite being in Ukraine (and were able to enforce it for the children)?

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews.
In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

Does anyone know what Chassidus the people who run West Side Judaica follow? I feel like it was Karlin but they speak a very polish dialect of Yiddish so I was thinking perhaps I misremembered Kotsker as Karliner?

Was there a halakhic problem while we were on the gold standard with paying back loans because the money could have changed value? Or did the money count the same way as the silver dinars?

It's really cool how, among a certain variety of leftist, the only perceived problem with anything Israel does is that Jews have no rightful claim to the land. It really makes you ponder if they are not morally consistent in their positions and just hate Jews and/or love blood and soil nationalism.

can someone more familiar with Hasidic Yiddish tell me if that is how you would write "housing affordability?" just looks kind of funny to me but I guess it's not too crazy to take it as a calque.
🚨 IN YIDDISH — Zohran Mamdani is making a direct appeal to Hasidic voters in an open letter published in all weekly Yiddish-language newspapers this week, highlighting his plans to combat antisemitism and his proposals on affordability and childcare vouchers.

Adams: The best pizza is the pizza of the mind because you can grab a piping hot slice any time or place. Just be careful not to burn yourself on the grease.
Sliwa: Joe & Pat's on Staten Island makes a mean pie even though they have banned me from the men's room.

since Zohran is clearly going to win and there’s no real drama in the race I vote we cancel further debates in favor of letting Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa debate random stuff like what the best pizza place in NYC is

For the last time, the problem with Israel is not that it's run by Jews, it's the apartheid and genocide. All of you seem to understand that as a defense against antisemitism but not when you're criticizing Israel.
