There’s a thriving Middle-Eastern community in metro-Detroit that speaks Aramaic. We’re called the Chaldeans. Our families immigrated to the states from their villages in Baghdad, Iraq in the 1960s and 1970s. The Chaldean population in Michigan is now around 160,000.

Chaldean here! We are Eastern Catholics originally from Iraq where Aramaic is the native language of our people. Most of us are dispersed throughout the world due to the diaspora that terrorism, war, and religious persecution has inflicted on our people. I’m a first generation Chaldean American and I natively speak Aramaic amongst my family and community! There are several dialects today of the language but it is very much alive and spoken within our communities (Chaldeans, Assyrians, Syriacs) throughout the world and still today in most of our villages & cities in Northern Iraq. Fun fact: In Ethiopia one of the main languages is Amharic which I’ve heard is similar to Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic. Also the fact that Aramaic and Hebrew are similar to each other as well - our alphabet and numbers are very alike! Of course this is due to them being in the Semitic branch of languages. Just goes to show that we are all connected as humans through history somehow :)

It is a beautiful country full of culture , education and with the loveliest of people. Spent a month travelling around,while in Maloula in the monastery, the priest said the Lord’s Prayer in English, Arabic and Aramaic and asked if anyone wished to say in it in another language, so I was blessed to say the Lord’s Prayer in Irish Gaelic ….why oh why do terrorists including Government terrorist destroy that which is sacred and believe that the other does not matter.

There are groups of Aramaic speakers all around the world called Assyrians. They're the indigenous people of Iraq and parts of Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey. There are about 2-5 million of us left in the world, although the exact figure isn't know, but about half the population was wiped out through genocide in the early 1900s. There are almost half a million of them located around the U.S (predominantly Arizona, Illiniois and Michigan) and quite a few in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and more. It's a shame people don't know more about them, but fun fact Assyrians invented the wheel, the first civilisation, the first written book (The Epic of Gilgamesh), astrology, the 360 degree circle, the base 60 numerical system (60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute, etc.) and many forms of mathematics and so much more and they are barely recognised in todays society.

Its so interesting hearing Aramaic being spoken. I am Jewish and many of our prayers (including Kaddish, which is said very often as a sort of break between sections of prayer) is in Aramaic, and the Talmud, a commentary on the Mishnah (which is a commentary on the Torah), is all in Aramaic. I went to an Orthodox Jewish school from 3 years old to 8th grade, and in middle school I learned Aramaic liturgically in my Talmud class. I still now study Talmud 1 - 2 times a week with a friend of mine, and I always find it fascinating how I am using a language that is barely spoken anymore, and that the only people using it are a handful of Syrians and my people, the Jews. Actually, the Syrians are my people too, my family is from Aleppo and Cairo, but had to leave in the 50s because of Antisemitism.

@@evanwhite5494 Where is Jesus right now?

[@JohnTronto]

@@evanwhite5494 John 10:30 means Jesus pbuh as Abdullah (servant of God) works for Allah, they are one in function. Just like a President who sent an ambassador, that ambassador is the mouth piece for the president they work as one for the same goals. Do not misunderstand and take the verse out of context. In the beginning of verse John 10:23 we read (in the context of 10:30) about Jesus pbbuh talking to the Jews. On verse John 10:28-30, talking about his followers as his sheep, he states: "...Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are One." These verses prove only that Jesus and God (Alaaha as called by Jesus in Aramaic) are one in that no man can pluck the sheep out of either's hand. It does not at all state that Jesus is God nor Jesus & God are equal. In fact the words of Jesus, " MY FATHER, WHO GAVE THEM ME IS GREATER THAN ALL...," in John 10:29 completely negates this claim, otherwise we are left with a contradiction just a sentence apart. Also let us look at verse John 17:20-22 "That the ALL may be made ONE. Like thou Father art in me, I in thee, that they may be ONE in us. I in them, they in me, that they may be perfect in ONE". In this verse, the same word ONE used, the Greek, HEN is used, not only to describe Jesus and the Father but to describe Jesus, the Father and eleven of the twelve disciples of Jesus. So here if that implies equality, we have a unique case of 13 Gods. But it doesnt. Of the verse in question, "I and the Father are One" in (John 10:30), we also need to take note of the verses following the 30th verse in the text. In those verses, the Jews accuse Jesus falsely of claiming to be God by these words. He however replies, proving their accusation wrong by their own text: "The Jews answered him saying,'For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou being a man, makest thyself a God '" (John 10:33). Jesus replies to this accusation saying: "Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your Law, "I said ye are gods. If He can call them gods, unto whom the word of God came, say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, "Thou blasphemeth," because I said I am the son of God?'" (John 10:34-36). Let us look at Acts 2:22 "O you men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of God among you..." Peter in the Book of Acts testifies about Jesus. Jesus thus even to his disciples, as to early Christians, not poisoned by Pauline doctrine, was a man, not a God. Indeed GOD IS NOT A MAN. Jesus pbuh was never Christian & he never taught Christianity with its trinity & salvation in crucifiction doctrines. Jesus pbuh taught exactly what Moses pbuh taught: course giving tzedakah (Hebrew) / sadaqah(Arabic) which means giving off your wealth to give charity for the poor. Those stated on some verses including these: Mark 10:17-21 _As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”_ _“WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?” Jesus answered. “NO ONE IS GOOD-EXCEPT GOD __ALONE.You__ know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother."_ _“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”_Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”_ Jesus pbuh was only a man chose by God, not God Himself as stated: Acts 2:22 _"Men of Israel, listen to this message: JESUS OF NAZARETH WAS A MAN CERTIFIED BY GOD to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know."_ And he never taught salvation doctrine. It is very clear that according Jesus's pbuh own words for his followers (only the lost sheep of Israel not the gentiles) to gain salvation is: Acknowledging that God is One, no one equal to Him. Only The One & Only True God is Good. Not Jesus pbuh nor anyone nor anything else. NO TRINITY, no one equal to God. Worship only Him. Then fulfill all the laws. NO NEED CRUCIFICTION. As for the gentiles, they all should follow the promised Parakletos: Mohammed pbuh.

Proud of my heritage and ancestors etc. Noting that this language is spoken by the locals regardless of their religion as it is part of their history and culture that they are proud of (not only Maaloula but three other small villages also around it).

The Food Looked So Delicious!!! And his Mom is So Nice and Welcoming!!!

[@ralphgarrettpiano]

This is a blessed video. God bless you! Awesome!!! You're a blessing. May God continue to bless you!🙏

[@rachelgessner816]

This broke my heart so much especially hearing the camera man saying how this is every day for them and how people won’t see breaking news and all of this and he’s right and that’s what is so sad it was so beautiful before and still had the potential to become beautiful once more

[@charlenechua6073]

Wow, you have amazing talent on travelling this country Thomas My bucket list

[@michaellajulit6119]

A big thanks to Yes Theory for this kind of content! Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the reality 🫶🏻❤️

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Watched the full video from @Yes theory. This too made me cry for the people and the pure Evil that has destroyed their homeland. Thank you Thomas! ~Cara 😊

[@ZakiaKhanomTisha]

Thank you for showing us the places world should watch!

[@RK-zo9cx]

There are communities and churches in the US that speak Aramaic. And it’s not some random middle of nowhere groups either. I’m talking north Jersey

[@1TimeGames]

3:14 Touma bumping his head into the doorpost makes me think of the stormtrooper in Star Wars

[@schlix101]

Thank you so, soooo much for sharing your experiences in this truthfull, humane way!!! You are doing the world and everyone who watches a HUGE, HUGE Service!!! Please continue doing what you do, the way you do it, for as long as you can!!!

[@ivans1800]

As sad as it is I like these types of videos shedding light on things you won’t see on mainstream media the things that are important to know about.

[@saraback2083]

Aramaic was also used by the ancient Jewish people and is used in the Gemara.

[@yarkmates3409]

Well Jesus was a Jew

[@metaphysicswithmike]

The man near the end speaking Aramaic was a jolly guy. And it stills baffles me that the majority of Christians still believe the NT was written in Greek. Almost certainly the originals were in Hebrew/Aramaic.

[@petrisavero4382]

The NT was written in Hebrew and some Aramaic

[@MothOnWall]

It was translated from Hebrew/Aramaic into Greek by scholars later.

[@gabtakeo]

Such a beautiful and deep video. Could not refrain myself of cracking up when the cameraman hit his head on the door tho 3:13

[@GeorgiaPeck]

Devastatingly beautifully captured video and story Thomas, thank you for sharing this

[@mlsXxassassinxX1]

You guys have really opened my eyes to our beautiful world we share with these beautiful places that are so deviously misled to be places of misery and they dont want foreigners there

[@adamsky77]

The Syria episode has been my favourite #YesTheory ever. Amazing. Great people.

[@berttv4823]

Thank you for sharing the moment that all people not see the real face now of Syria after war my eyes I can't stop tearing while watching 😢 prayer for peace all over the world 🙏

[@djlemay5932]

That’s is genuinely beautiful

[@samroberts1229]

The two videos of Syria have been awe inspiring. Please edit more from the 7 days you spent there! It’s not what I expected it to be at all and the people are all so happy to see you there. Hats off to you Thomas for your amazing work showing you audience a slice of what it’s like over there now.

[@milenmoskov290]

It's amazing how much storytelling you managed to condense into less than 10 minutes. Great work guys!

[@juniorgrans8770]

Personally I am a Assyrian (or in native Syryoye) I wouldn’t say that the Aramaic language that we speak is dead it’s still spoken by all of us but many have fled the Middle East to Europe, America and so on. It’s a very beautiful culture

[@jonnyboy1225]

Im a suryoyo speaker

[@roccosage8508]

Love this channel. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from time travel, death, the afterlife, extraterrestrials, the Vatican Archives, the Renaissance secrets, the Pyramids and Pharaohs, Jesus, Sinai, Hebrew letters…etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.

[@12567NoYouCannot]

Hey, if You Speak Spanish or Understand Spanish, Go to the KZbin Channel "El Nuevo Tiempo" the host is from Argentina, but lives in Spain, he interviews tons of people from Latin-America who have had Out of Body and Out of Space experiences, Extraterrestrial encounters and many of them Since they were children. Many of them have Seen Jesus in Person, and many of them have Time traveled with extraterrestrial beings, have been to other Dimensions, and many have Shown Future Worldly Events. The Most interesting Channel in the Universe. If You only hear what those people have to Say. There is Only One Guy that I didn't like his story; I think is fake, but All the Other people I believe, and you can tell they are pretty humble about it. From all the details they give; very Specific Details to their own experiences, one can tell they are telling the truth.

[@MaverickMuskey]

Thomas Bragg next video run with the bulls, eat blowfish, fly a fighter jet, wingsuiting, go to space, climb mount everest or ride down an active volcano! Have Ammar do all the height things though, since you’ve never completed some height discomforts!

[@BiancaBenjamin]

Proud Assyrian woman living in Australia ! Thank you for sharing this 🤍

[@fr.stephanoswehbe8861]

Thank you very much for video! I'm from Maaloula. God bless you.

[@attilaasd4747]

When he said this is Syria, that hurts soo bad! As my country's history is in me all the time how it looked back then, I couldn't imagine more destroyed country but these seen had me in tears

[@emms8]

Thank you Thomas and Yes Theory for this heartfelt reality🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜

[@vanilla_kushi4099]

Hey guys i was so sad not seeing you go with this man to his house in the other video and i was not expecting seeing it here makes me happy to see that🖤

[@t9342]

I stumbled upon your channel purely by accident today, this video moved me to tears! Such destruction and to think this is still happening but in another country for another reason, makes me ashamed to be called human. However on a happier note it has made me promise that my girlfriend and I will to visit Syria and see for ourselves this wonderful country. Thank you so very much for this and opening my eyes!

[@missionvlogs7778]

Hebrews 12:14 14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Keep it up, stay safe and God bless.

[@berruarslan5367]

Thanks for sharing this. This is such a precious message..

[@Fotini13]

When he said “Ehh it’s ok. This is Syria.” …it literally shattered my soul 😢 my heart hurts for him n all of the people of Syria. May God protect them. 😣♥️

[@andrewrobinson2565]

Your videos are SO educational. I graduated in Arabic in 1983 and this language has made me "rich". You're doing what I dreamed about doing when I was your age. Thanks 🙏.

[@umariqball]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL . THE COURAGE OFTHESE PEOPLE IS UNMATCHED. GOD BLESS THEM AND THE GENERATIONS TO COME. HOPE TO BE THERE AS SOON AS LIFE ALLOWS ME.

[@gabrielacan150]

I‘m aramean and it makes me proud to See videos made about my culture and more people knowing who we are. Now we are actually spread all over the world bc our elders hat to flee the genocide. And sadly bc of that the language is dying with every generation bc we don’t have any other aramean around us.

[@janninomoney]

Thanks for sharing real life stories ! ♥

[@moumenshiekhawad2083]

me being 17 now I never really lived to see what Syria was before the war I still remember the first memory I have was watching on my TV in the living room the body of the first man killed in the syrian civil war and my dad telling my sister quick go close his eyes and take him to his room and after seeing multiple people die infront of my watching tanks roll up and down streets hearing bombs every night anytime I tell my story to a foreign person they think wow that that must be so tough and that I'm so brave or whatever but thought out my whole life I've accepted the fact that I was one of the best atleast I had a TV a home that I felt safe in many many things millions did not have everyone in Syria has just become honestly basically invulnerable to any of the problems present or past it simply sums up the whole situation when he said "This is Syria"

[@salim69]

The saddest part for me is to remember so many people, outside Syria, saying: Assad was a tyrant, and thinking the "moderate rebels" were good, so easily you can influence people's opinion on things they don't even know, but Syria will thrive again, it's already healing and will be the perfect place in the middle east for the mix of cultures that has been since thousands of years.

[@Heo_Ashrafenko]

Assad is a tyrant tho, rebels and ISIS arent the same thing

[@Amar90]

Syria. The love of every Iraqi. Our Mesopotamian brothers. We will rise again 🇸🇾 ♥️ 🇮🇶
