I wish one of my questioners had read the guidelines offered here. He would not have created such a great deal of disdain in the others present by trying to show the lowly grad student what all he knew.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181150258995261106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-57352662027064722342008-04-01T16:12:00.000-06:002008-04-01T16:12:00.000-06:00Can we apply no. 9 to classroom settings, as well?...Can we apply no. 9 to classroom settings, as well?

(Targums are Aramaic adaptations of passages from the Hebrew Bible. They insert things, revise things, etc.) The speaker went on for 45 minutes about a Harry Potter book and movie.
