Query

An article in the Jerusalem Post mentions this:

"An experiment conducted at Cambridge to teach young Orthodox Jews Aramaic as a classical language and thereby enable them to peruse the Talmud's text independently, without rabbinical guidance, ended in failure," said Mutzafi.

"The boys were not adept at grasping linguistic structures such as the verb categories or grammatical usage that could be found in the ancient text."

 

I was not able to find more about this; does anyone out there know and could tell us more?

Why not ask the professor himself?
