Shlama Rafael,
I want to encourage you.
I've been on this journey (with the exception of about a year and a half 'sabbatical' I took once) since 1988-89.
I only know a wee bit of Hebrew, and if it's transliterated, all the better! <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: -->
I know a very little Syriac, inspite of doing this for many years now.
I certainly think that it HELPS if one can read and write in Syriac, but if you don't know Syriac, don't let this stop your investigation of the P'shitta and Aramaic Primacy!
The Assyrian Church of the East has three American churches where the liturgy is in English, and I'd think that there must be a COE congregation that speaks Spanish in their liturgy, somewhere in South America.
People here are always helpful and kind, especially to new comers, and I know that you'll find that is true too.
Except for Andrew (Gabriel Roth) isn't green, and he's not near as short or as old as Yoda is, <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> .....I absolutely agree that he's a Master at what he does!!
Welcome to Peshitta.org Forums Rafael. Bueno Noches, and Yeshua's Peace be yours.
