During Roman Times, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. This angered the Jews of the area (who by the way spoke Aramaic, a language similar to Hebrew and the lingua franca of the Middle East) so they began leaving Israel for places like Iraq, Turkey Greece, Italy, Egypt, and Persia. Greek and Italian Jews traveled through Europe and by the fall of the Roman Empire ended in France. They spoke a Romance Judeo-Old French type language called "La'az" at the time. After a while, these Jews migrated east to Germany. They adopted the Old High German language spoken at the time, but often mixed in a bit of La'az, Hebrew, and Aramaic and boom! Yiddish was born.
