Hi,

Correction - Oy Vey = Yiddish. Yiddish is a Germanic language spoken by predominantly Ashkenazic Jews. The name Yiddish itself is Yiddish for "Jewish" (in German, it's jüdisch) and is likely an abbreviated rendition of yidish-taytsh, or "Jewish German".

I had a Jewish friend growing up. We used to swim in the Pool at his local Temple after school, the only catch was we has to sit through a half hour of Hebrew School. I was the only Goy (meaning someone who is not Jewish) in the Class...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
