Edit to Yeruchom Levovitz

Thank you for your edit. Now all we need is for someone to start the Lyuban, Belarus article. כתיבה וחתימה טובה --Redaktor 13:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You will be interested that Rav Moshe Fainstein's shule is still standing, although its a local medical clinic now. Has a memorial plaque on it.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why Lemberg??

You've changed a name of Lwów to German Lemberg, but You haven't done that with Kraków. If (as you claim) Lemberg was historical name (in German) so also You have to change all names of Kraków into Krakau. In my oppinion we cannot name cities after occupants. In example we should change Moscow to Polish Moskwa because it was occupied by Poles 1612-1614. I don't want to change current Ukrainian name of Lviv. But the historical name after 1945 was "Lwów". Even official language in Galician Authonomy was Polish. The city was a seat of Polsh administration, and Polish Sejm. And most imprtant - a majority of population of Lwów was Polish until brutal expulsion after 1945. (Majan (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Point taken. It is not something that really bothers me, but when I saw all the edits and didn't understand them, my reaction was "WHY?". Well I guess I understand what you are saying, but it seems that you and Catgut are in a revert war about this, and I will keep my distance. KosherJava (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assassination Jacob Israël de Haan Ordered by Yitzhak Ben-Zvi

You obviously know very little about the case if you think that you make such an allegation on this page. I advise you to read a bit further.--Gilabrand (talk) 06:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a reference to the additional reading material that you refer to? The data provided was sourced, and you removed it with no comment, only modifying it after my revert. It would be nice if you would provide sources. KosherJava (talk)

Just to say thanks for your additions to this article. I copyedited it a while back, and thought it an interesting topic - was hoping someone would give the article more attention.Gonzonoir (talk) 12:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It still needs work and does not have the quality that it needs. I will potentially add a few more similar sources over the next few days.

Moses Sofer

Thanks for adding those references about the Chasam Sofer's parents and spouses to the article. I was just wondering why the text is so cluttered up with birth and death dates, such as:

Rabbi Sofer's first wife Sarah died childless on 22 Jul 1812^[1]. He re-married to Sarel (Sarah) (1790-1832, d. 18 Adar II 5592), the widowed daughter of the illustrious Rabbi Akiva Eger, Rav of Posen, in 1812 (23 Cheshvan 5573). She was the widow of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Kalischer (1788-1812), Rabbi of Piła, the son of Rabbi Yehuda Kalischer, author of Hayod Hachazoka.

Can't a lot of this be eliminated? If this were any other biography, the above paragraph would read:

Rabbi Sofer's first wife Sarah died childless on 22 Jul 1812^[1]. He re-married to Sarel (Sarah) (born 1790), the widowed daughter of the illustrious Rabbi Akiva Eger, Rav of Posen, on 23 Cheshvan 5573. She was the widow of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Kalischer (1788-1812), Rabbi of Piła, who was the son of Rabbi Yehuda Kalischer, author of Hayod Hachazoka.
