Regarding the decree of speaking only Yiddish:

On the other hand, I seem to recall reading that Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky felt bad that he didn't speak English properly, which prevented him from better getting through to Americans. I believe he also felt, that whichever country you're in, you should try to perfect your knowledge of the language of that country. Rather than just half-baked knowledge (the latter is my own wording)
M.M.

You could argue that its interesting to use the passuk forbidding Chadash, to make a new movement

Also....

Just to clarify, the literal prohibition of not eating Chadash grain still applies today.
