Subject: [b-hebrew] Distinguishing between Aramaic and Hebrew
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 03:09:15 +0200
Both Hebrew and Aramaic passages appear in Jewish prayer books. Would
someone offer a short list easy identifiers so that a Hebrew beginner can
realize he's looking at Aramaic, not Hebrew?
An earlier contribution noted that the Kaddish is Aramaic with a concluding
Hebrew verse. I believe the prayer preceding the removal of the Torah from
the ark is also in Aramaic. Why is this, I wonder?
