Fred:
 
As regards b. below, "cannot survive" is probably an overstatement.  
Obviously some aspects of a culture "survive" translation and other aspects 
are  
altered.

Hello Ted:
 
I am hebrew language expert .... not.
 
I think however, if you conferred with any torah scholar, they would  
swiftly confirm to you that:
 
a. the ancient hebrew language expressed in torah, comprises a  wide, broad 
and deep cultural heritage, over and beyond any theological  
considerations; and
 
b. such cultural fabric woven into, and expressed  by, hebrew torah, 
cannot, and does not, survive migration  into another language, via 
translation.
 
Regards,
