“We didn’t stop it , it is still used for much of davening . with time it fell into disuse I don’t think there was an effort to stop it”
My sincerest apologies that was terribly worded, (more so that most of my posts) .
You said ““why did we stop Aramaic?” To which I was responding that , we didint “stop” it, we still use it . “it” being Aramaic . ie nobody got up and said ok Aramaic is creole Lashon Kodesh lets stop speaking it. IT fell into dissue. when and why? I dont know (though if you have sources Id love to learn more) .
YOU then said “with time it fell into disuse I don’t think there was an effort to stop it.”
Which I understood as it = falling into disuse, tie hat there was no effort to keep Aramaic alive
Mea culpa, I hope this explanation is clearer and we can be friedns again.
“but that doesn’t make Aramaic holy”
So that is where we differ, we may be defining “holy” differently . See joseph’s excellent concise explanation at the top of page 6, and my wordier one linked to right after his.
“nobody would change the language of a tefillah from a.k.h. but that doesn’t make Aramaic holy.”
So why not change it?
“True you didn’t mention him but I was “gathering “more information about your position.”
Great that is encouraged! Though I’m not sure why you would think I thought otherwise. I have no problem speaking to people in Hebrew or English, if the Mahral diskin had a problem with it, yo u have to ask HIM (or whoever brought that story) if he davened in Hebrew
“being as you In your line of questioning seem to equate casual conversation with tefillah,”
I am not sure where you got that strange equivalence
