1. Yiddish has a Hebrew alphabet. 2. The inscription in Hebrew alphabet is indecipherable in Hebrew. From 1 and 2 you conclude it must be Hebrew. Quote:

Re: Soviet orders awarded to israelis?
Yiddish (scarcely Hebrew) was used in the USSR in the early years, and is frequenetly found on orders and badges, especially from Belarus.
What Israeli policy is or was is of course totally irrelevant. And we need to be careful not to fall into the error in thinking that all Jews were/are Israelis even long before the Zionist state was created. Some people, I fear, so badly WANT things to be a certain way that facts and history can'rt sway them. I think I'll bow out of this discussion now. |

It is Yiddish, not Hebrew.

Re: Soviet orders awarded to israelis?
Marc, I love that Belarus Order of Red Banner of Labor!
Regarding Yiddish, not sure what we are arguing about since it IS primarily a German language, just written in Hebrew letters. It ranged from common to prevalent for Jews in Central Europe and in the Pale of Settlement.. So it was common for Jews in Belarus, for example. Hebrew as a spoken language really only began to be revived with Ben Yehudah and the activists of the 19th century. Regarding the USSR and the Jewish "question," we know what started happening in 1948-1953.. George |
