Akhi Savitri....

Shlama Akhi Savitri,

I just saw your post on the feedback section regarding the printing. Thanks for pointing this out.

I'm assuming that the pdf files print out fine on your system, right?

If so, I think I can solve this if I also provide a "printer-friendly" version of these grammar sections as a hyperlink on the pages themselves. These will have to be in pdf format, since it seems to give far more flexibility in selecting printing parameters.

What do you think? If I try it, will you let me know if it works better that way?

Having all of this website "printable" is definitely a priority to me.

Shlama w'Burkate,
Paul

Dear Akhi Paul,

Sounds great, and I don't anticipate any problems at all with the PDF format. Just let me know when you've made the adjustments, and I'll let you know how it works over here on the other side of the pond. Don't know if it helps to know this, but A4 paper is 210 x 297 millimeters.

Shlama Burkate,

Savitri

Shlama Akhi Savitri,

You should now see (after refreshing the pages) an option to view the particular section in PDF format. This should (I hope) solve the print problems. Please let me know for sure....and thanks again for pointing it out.

Dear Paul,

Downloading the Grammar in PDF format did the trick! Everything prints neatly within the margins, even on A4 paper. It even makes more logical page breaks at the bottom.

Thanks for being willing to look at the situation; hope it didn't slow down your translating too much!

Shlama w'Burkate,

Shlama Akhi Savitri,

I'm so glad it worked. Believe me, it's a pleasure, and will not slow the translation work at all (it only takes a few minutes to convert each lesson into PDF format).

Besides, I'm in right now what Akhi Andrew calls the "Synoptic Slump", where every break I get from translating is somewhat refreshing.

I cannot wait to start the Gospel of Yukhanan (new material! ), my favorite book of the NT.

Shlama w'Burkate,

Shlama all...

Just want to tell everyone that I have seen a bit of Yukhanan from the Khaborris Manuscript, and this is going to be a royal treat when Paul starts on it. Trust me on this.

Yukhanan is SOOOO deep folks so brace yourself. Akhi Shmuel, I know you are no fan of the Zohar but JUST WAIT TIL YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE CONCEPTS IN THE ARAMAIC ORIGINAL OF YUKHANAN.

For me, it is the final nail in the Greek primacist model. I say this because while many say that Matti is the most Jewish centered Gospel (128 OT quotes!) this is only true on the surface. Without question, Yukhanan's Gospel may stand as the most influential first century Semitic document ever produced. Its beauty literally brings me to tears.

I cannot wait and have been silent until now because to count it down before now would just be unfair.

Akhi Paul, no doubt your natural humility will cause you to worry that I am raising expectations beyond what you feel the final product may be. Yes , we know all translations are flawed. No, I certainly would not want you to rush through these last four chapters of Luke. But to me Yukhanan is such a wonderful life-affirming celebration that it needs to start even before MILTA is recorded in English in 1:1. It is a second Genesis to me, with an extra detail of Creation grafted in.

I rejoice in Akhi Paul's progress!

Maranatha aw-mayn!

I also want to join in welcoming Yukhanan! I have been getting exciting about getting to read it! I can't wait!(ok, I can, but I'm very excited!)

Without a doubt I would list Yukhanan as the most important book in understanding the person and message of Eshoa The Messiah. Bring it on!

Thank you so much Paul for sharing your knowledge with the church! May God bless you!

Shlama all,

Thanks for all your kind words......I can't wait to get to Yukhanan as well.

It really is a pleasure to do this, because God has given to my wife and I something we have waited for years to have. This is my small token of appreciation for His gift.

So HE has already blessed! Blessed be HIS name!

Shlama w'Burkate,
Paul
