-----------------
No, I don't live in Williamsburg. When in Williamsburg (and that has happened a
few times in my life) I have spoken English or Yiddish. I don't recall speaking
Ivrit to anyone in Williamsburg.

I think that this "dialect" of Aske-Sphard is prevalent among many American
jews who have been to Israel, especially guys who have spent a year or more in
Israeli Yeshivot (often, Yeshivot Hesder); and I know quite a few of those.

A kosheren un freilichen Pesach to all.
