By Or Kashti, Haaretz Correspondent: Education Ministry drops Arabic studies from core curriculum
Talkback
Title: Amaratzus Name: Dr Robert Frosch City: Jerusalem State:
How are the Haredim going to read Rambam`s works if they don`t study Arabic? Meyle, the philosophical works aren`t important to them, but what about the haloche works like seyfer hamitzves and peyrush al hamishne. You can`t read those translations - they`re not medayyek. It`s like reading gemurra in Steinsaltz, loy oleynu. They`re raising a generation of amaratzem.
