The Forverts published an article about a content creator who asked people about Yiddish in Jerusalem:
"Yirmiyahu Danzig (aka @that_semite on Instagram and @Unpacked on YouTube), an Israeli Jewish rights and anti-racism activist of Caribbean and Ashkenazi descent, usually explores questions of identity on his Instagram account in English, Hebrew and Arabic. But last week, he posted a video where he speaks to Orthodox passers-by on the streets of Jerusalem — in Yiddish."

Danzig seems (as far as I can hear!) to be a good illustration of a neo-speaker that do not speak "akademiker yidish".
(some of his text is wrong: Jewish languages are not creoles)
