Yiddish was first spoken historically by Ashkenazic (European) Jews, beginning in what are now Germany and France, and resulting from a fusion of elements derived principally from medieval German dialects and secondly from Hebrew.

According to the Merriam-Webster's dictionary, 'bagel' derives from the transliteration of the Yiddish 'beygl', which came from the Middle High German 'böugel' or ring, which itself came from 'bouc' (ring) in Old High German, similar to the Old English 'bēag' '(ring), and 'būgan' (to bend or bow). Another etymology in the Webster's New World College Dictionary says that the Middle High German form was derived from the Austrian German'beugel', a kind of croissant, and was similar to the German 'bügel', a stirrup or ring.

The word is Yiddish, straight from the German "tisch" meaning 'table'. It's the table, set with snacks and drinks where the groom's friends, teachers, schoolmates, relatives, buddies, and well-wishers in general gather before the wedding ceremony, to convey their congratulations and best wishes, and share words, thoughts and songs of Torah, as the seconds tick away.

No. See the following points:

-- Hebrew is the original language of the Torah; and modern Hebrew is one of the official languages of Israel today. (The other one is Arabic.)

-- There is no such language as 'Israeli'. Israeli is a national term to refer to a citizen of Israel, not a language. (It is the same way that Canadian is a national term to refer to a citizen of Canada.)

-- Yiddish is the language of the [mostly former] Jewish communities of Germany, Eastern Europe, and Russia. It's spoken in enclaves of population descended from those communities, found today in Israel, the US, Canada, South Africa, Argentina, Australia, and many other countries.

Technically "treyf" refers to meat that has been slaughtered in a non-Kosher fashion. However, it is most commonly used to refer to any meat that is not Kosher.

Varnishka refers to short pastas such as bowtie pasta and shell pasta. These pastas are the ones most commonly used in the dish called "kasha varnishkes" (buckwheat and noodles), which is a very popular dish among Eastern European Jews.

In contrast, long noodles such as spaghetti and fettuccine are called "lokshen". The traditional dish associated with this word is "lokshen kugel" which is a noodle pudding that can be either sweet or savory.

I think it originates from the name Esther and became Ettel or Etta.. If it helps, the name Esther means hidden and that's what Queen Esther was. She was modest and private, and that's what made her so queenly and respected
