Hebrew words used in Yiddish edit

Since this category currently contains both Hebrew and Yiddish words, I propose that its name be changed to reflect that fact. Big Mac (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think that it is best to keep only Yiddish words here, removing Hebrew words which are used when speaking Yiddish. Chesdovi (talk) 14:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Shouldn't the title depend on the purpose of the category? If it's for people who are trying to look up a Yiddish word or phrase (i.e., any word or phrase understood by a person who speaks only Yiddish), then the title is accurate, regardless of the origin of the word. Of what value is a list of Yiddish words and phrases that excludes words that come from or are used in other languages (e.g. Yiddish words used in English)?
