/ Gay shlafen: Yiddish for "go to sleep". \
| |
| Now doesn't "gay shlafen" have a |
| softer, more soothing sound than the |
| harsh, staccato "go to sleep"? Listen |
| to the difference: |
| |
| "Go to sleep, you little wretch!" ... |
| "Gay shlafen, darling." Obvious, isn't |
| it? |
| |
| Clearly the best thing you can do for |
| you children is to start speaking |
| Yiddish right now and never speak |
| another word of English as long as you |
| live. This will, of course, entail |
| teaching Yiddish to all your friends, |
| business associates, the people at the |
| supermarket, and so on, but that's just |
| the point. It has to start with |
| committed individuals and then grow.... |
| |
| Some minor adjustments will have to be |
| made, of course: those signs written in |
| what look like Yiddish letters won't be |
| funny when everything is written in |
| Yiddish. And we'll have to start |
| driving on the left side of the road so |
| we won't be reading the street signs |
| backwards. But is that too high a price |
| to pay for world peace? I think not, my |
| friend, I think not. |
