Aramaic Professor meets Hollywood

I wrote before about one of my Professors at UCLA named Yona Sabar. Prof. Sabar's son, Ariel, just happens to be a journalist and an author. He has written a book about his father, My Father's Paradise: A Son's Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq.

He relates some interesting encounters between Aramaic and Hollyood in this article: When a Professor of Aramaic Meets Hollywood: You get asked some pretty strange things when you speak the language of Jesus.
