One of my favorite encounters with Aramaic was coming across a tiny ancient church in the middle of the desert in Syria, where the mass was conducted in Aramaic. A humbling experience to hear a basically dead language still very much alive in the middle of nowhere.
Another observation: portions of Maronite Catholic mass are conducted in Aramaic. The prayer books are typically in Aramaic and Arabic side by side.
