This sefer was written by Rabbi Hillel Lichtenstein of Kolomaya. The letters are written in hebrew but when I read it, I do not understand the words. It seems that it is another language. Which one?

Here's a link to the book on Hebrewbooks. Looking at it, it seems to be written in Yiddish.

  • I'm no expert, but it's definitely Yiddish. It uses the word "Yiddishkeit" for example.
