Abstract
In this article there will be an endeavor to discuss the alternation of “Jewish English” to “standard”,
“regular” English in the form of code switching (CS), by Jewish Lubavitch emissaries in university
campuses in the United States of America. I will examine what CS, a widely observed linguistic
phenomenon, especially seen in multilingual and multicultural communities, is, and who the code
switchers are. I will explore what interests motivate them to switch their code, how competent they
are at switching, and the circumstances in which they are prone to switch their code. I will trace the
idiosyncratic use of CS by this exclusive ethnic community as an increasing socio-pragmatic linguistic
devise. It will also be observed as a minor psycho-linguistic need at various gatherings and
classes, as an unconscious act of teaching a similar but foreign language to their audience (i.e. interlocutors). Thus, the discussion and findings of this study might expand familiarity with, and understanding of, the CS phenomenon.
