I love the music video. The spoken teaching that's first is great. Spoken Aramaic there reminds me of the dialect in the Lakota language. So many similarities of sound.

I know one Hebrew prayer (in Hebrew) that I recited in the Fiddler On The Roof (I was the Rabbi). There are some similar sounds I heard. Very cool.
Here's mine:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁהַכֹּל נִהְיָה בִּדְבָרוֹ.
Transliteration: Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, Melekh ha'olam, shehakol nih'ye bidvaro.
Translation: "Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, through Whose word everything comes into being."
I think they usually sing their prayers. Not totally sure but it is interesting.

I like the teaching video. The musical version in the second video is beautiful.

I like the spoken version . It reminds me of the Mel Gibson film.
The music version is meditative. Very relaxing to listen to. I've not seen this music video before so thank you for sharing here. The only time I had heard Aramaic language spoken was in the movie, The Passion of the Christ.
That was awesome. The portrayal of Jesus and his speaking in Aramaic. That movie allowed us to imagine what it would be like to hear him teach all those centuries ago.

Very good. Thank you for sharing this. It takes the music video above in Jewish Aramaic into the spoken and without the accompanying music.

I loved the Aramaic version so much I wanted to add more. Thank you
Thank you! Syriac version was referred to in the other language video here. That makes this a very well rounded thread to have both the Aramaic and Syriac. Beautiful.

I love it! It makes Scripture more like hearing a sermon that is really, really good.
There's nothing wrong with a word-for-word version of the Bible, but that can never convey what is to be understood culturally, let alone idioms of speech.
I can't picture myself investing the time to actually learn Aramaic, but I do need to start reading Scripture based on it and maybe even read a commentary for the first time.

Ok doing a little reading up on George Lamsa reveals he had some ideas that were ... controversial to say the least.
He grew up on the border of Iraq and Turkey, considered himself a Nestorian Assyrian, and died in 1976. There's been lots of archeological discoveries since then, with much scholarship following.
Here's a list of websites having good, non-controversial translations directly from the Aramaic:
Aent.org
Aramaic NT.com
LightOfWord.org
Benjamin Netanyahu and the Pope recently agreed Jesus spoke Aramaic, and also knew Hebrew. It is a contested claim that our NT was first written in Aramaic and only then translated into Greek; there are strong arguments for both sides.
Understanding Aramaic idioms used in Scripture along with their cultural significance will certainly add to our understanding of Scripture!
I'm new to all this, so I know literally nothing about what tools are available, which are good, which are best. Hopefully we can use this thread to share good things?
I have a question to maybe kick off further discussion: I understand Thayer's lexicon was obsolete almost as soon as it was printed, and I find an Aramaic lexicon at the first site I gave. Is this a good lexicon? What's the best lexicon? (A deep discussion of this last question probably needs its own thread, but a mention shouldn't hurt?)
