In 1996, Lieberman was shocked at the lack of camps for children with emotional needs in the area.

Although Lieberman repeated this thesis in numerous places in his later works, it was recently challenged by Y. Sussmann.
The present study demonstrates that Lieberman maintained his original theory throughout his comprehensive commentary on the Tosefta, Tosefta Ki-Fshutah, and suggests that this theory be accepted.
It is argued that the variant readings between the text witnesses of the Tosefta on which Lieberman based his thesis do not emanate from adjustment to the Babylonian Talmud, but reflect the text-tradition of the tannaitic sources with which the Babylonian Talmud itself was familiar.

Lieberman was by training a Talmudist, a great one, and he approached the subject by analyzing many Greek words and calque expressions found in the Hebrew and Aramaic rabbinic literature of the Hellenistic period.
Lieberman convincingly shows that the Hebrew word gapa, "limb of," is actually a later corruption by scribes who no longer understood Greek of the Greek word agape, "love," and that in the original story, as told and understood by Jews in Palestine, the courtesan swore by "the love of Rome."
There is no evidence that Jesus himself understood Greek, and his few statements in the New Testament that purportedly appear in the language in which they were originally spoken are all in Aramaic.
