Bear in mind, of course, that Yiddish is a form of High German and
not related to Hebrew.
In some places, Yiddish was written using the Hebrew alef-beth, but
alphabet does not determine language family. For example, there are
an awful lot of languages that use the Roman alphabet that are not
only not related to Latin, but not even Indo-European languages, such
as Turkish, Indonesian, and Vietnamese, to pick three languages that
are not related to each other, either.
