It would be pretty bad if we couldn't do that ... but you need to define 
yiddish first (maybe more needs to be setup ... but that's up to you 
tolet us know, labels, what patterns and such).

\installlanguage
   [yiddish]
   [righthyphenchar="05BE,
    righthyphenchar=`*, % for testing
    default=en]

\starttext

\input tufte

\language[yiddish]

\input tufte

\stoptext
