Thank you for this site. I've used its NT texts in my art.
A former Yeshiva (Methivta) student, raised in a solid religious home, I've since expanded my search, and love the re-placing of Christianity in its Semitic home. My home, too. When y'all say"Shlama akhi" it resonates. Aramaic featured in much of my learning and liturgy.
My folks even gave me, a New York City boy, a Sephardic name.
("But what's your English name?")
And as a letter artist, I particularly adore the Estrangela script. In love with its beauty.

TWO QUESTIONS
1- I once saw a NT in Aramaic with Hebrew translation, side-by-side, using "Hebrew" characters and vowels.
How do I lay my hands on it?
2- How could I get some phone pronunciation coaching, perhaps in exchange for some art?
These will enable me to prepare for performances I intend to give of the Sermon on the Mount.
