It's Hebrew, yes. It's roughly "good omens and good luck for us"; it's a wedding song.
(Yiddish sounds less like Hebrew and more like German.)

It was less that and more that I'm pretty sure saying "I don't speak Jewish" isn't PC.

Well, it's definitely not PC, and besides, there's no single Jewish language. (Off the top of my head - Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Jewish Arabic - all of those are Jewish languages to some degree.)

Actually, no, since Hebrew is Semitic, Yiddish is basically "German with a bunch of Hebrew words, written in Hebrew script", Ladino is Jewish Spanish, etc etc.

That's fine. Language is a hobby for me.
