Languages
In most Lithuanian and Hasidic yeshivot throughout the world, classes are being taught in Yiddish; Modern Orthodox, Zionist or baal teshuvah yeshivot may use Israeli Hebrew or the local language. Students learn with each other in whatever language they are most proficient in, with Hasidic students usually learning in Yiddish, Israeli Lithuanian students in Hebrew, and American Lithuanian students in English.
