You are thinking of Yiddish; however, it is not a compound of Hebrew and German.

Yiddish is a dialect of Low German, containing loan words from Hebrew and at least 11 other languages, and is written with a modified version of the Hebrew alphabet.

Yiddish originated in Europe, and is spoken by Jews all over the world, but it is not linguistically related to Hebrew.
