Only chabad and a relatively new term.

It was a term in the 80s as far as I can recall.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What language are any of the words in the Wiki? Chabadese?

But, I'm gonna go with hebrew.

-Google translate 'hall' to Russian and have them read the Cryllic to you.


-'zeks un nieintziger' is obviously yiddish.  I was surprised to see it with words of Lubavitcher culture.  I thought it was something drunk in Hungary.  But I guess Hungarians are enjoying their Shlivovitz.

Interesting, but its Zal in Yiddish, and obviously German too. Try Google translate to German and Yiddish.

-'zeks un nieintziger' is obviously yiddish.

But whose rendition is it to stick a 't' in there after the 'k', or even worse (as I have seen 'round here) to end with a 'z'?

Must be some kind of tzugekumener.

Zal's inclusion is not for its meaning as a hall, but as yeshivah for "older" bochurim, ala

In mesivta we had shuirum in zal, but in zal we had shuirum in classrooms.
