Sephirah (Kabbalah)

Hi Rooster: Looking at the Sephirah (Kabbalah) article, the following articles are waiting to be written:

Binah ("Understanding"; בינה)
Chesed ("Mercy"; חסד)
Gevurah ("Severity"; גבורה)
Tiphereth ("Glory"; תיפארת)
Netzach ("Victory"; נצח)
Yesod ("Foundation"; יסוד)
Malkhut ("Kingdom"; מלכות)

These have brief articles, but could use improvement:

Keter ("Crown"; כתר)
Chochmah ("Wisdom"; חכמה)
Hod ("Majesty"; הוד)
Da'at ("Knowledge"; דעת)

Best wishes, IZAK 10:00, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tzadik

Please see what I wrote in Tzadik, and if I only wrote from a chabad viewpoint please add in other viewpoints (like Breslov) as well. Thanks. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 14:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also please comment on the talk page of chabad regarding what I wrote there: I have created a new article that deals with the concept of a Tzadik, and merged the contents of the "Relationship between God, the Rebbe and his followers" section into it. Therefore if there is consensus I will be removing the section from here and replace it with a link to Tzadik. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 16:00, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I recently read your book Beyond the Ashes as part of my research. I enjoyed it immensely, well-written and highly informative. Daykart 23:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but be please aware that I have long since left the Renewalniks (in the mid-80s when they ceased to be anything resembling Orthodox, IMHO.) I stand by the book, but I was in B'nai Or, NOT "Jewish Renewal" as it exists today. However, I am not a revisionist, so what I wrote back then, I wrote. You might also be interested in my third book, Jewish Tales of Reincarnation, published by Jason aronson, Inc. in 2000. This is my re-telling of the types of stories I briefly refed in the Ashes books (yes, there is a sequel). Rooster613 16:49, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Rooster613[reply]

Plagues of Egypt

List of British Jews and Jewish Year Book

Please see the dialogue I am having with Grace Note re use of the Jewish Year Book as a valid source. I am sure that when you voted for the current policy on the List of British Jews, you intended to ensure that it was a list of people who were undoubtedly Jewish. Did you want to give carte blanche for quibbles that would allow the deletion of perfectly valid entries? Please read the talk page. Elkie Brooks was a good example, where the evidence adduced would convince any reasonable person that she is Jewish (and indeed Jayjg was convinced) but she was still deleted. (I have since found a quotation from the Jewish Chronicle and restored her.)

The persistent querying of the Jewish Year Book is another example. I don't know if you would support the deletion of the whole list, but whatever your view, given that the list exists it cannot make sense to delete several eminent undoubted Jews on dubious grounds. Please make your views known. - Newport 10:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

Hi again. I have decided to submit this article to peer review in order to qualify for Featured Article status. Would you kindly click on the above link and add your comments or suggestions? Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Rooster, thanks for getting involved on the talk page. I traced this new editor to his website, and found this unsavory post and comment. Hopefully this edit war won't last long. Kol tuv, Yoninah (talk) 20:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HMMMM.... I went there and read it, Yoninah, and must say that his goal to "capture" Wikipedia for his own website is not NPOV at all, if anything, he is blatantly self-promoting himself here. Of course he can post whatever he wants on his own site but it certainly gives us a heads-up about this guy. Rooster613 (talk) 07:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Rooster613, first of all the "capture" wasn't on the actual post, maybe you saw it in someone's comments. Second of all, the Truth will capture the world, falsehood doesn't last, the Truth stands forever. One should not be threatened by being captured by the truth!

Na Nach, what is meant by "capture" here was an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote yourself or your own organization over and above other POVs. Please read the section on conflict of interest issues. There are times when your edits are not NPOV and come across as self-promoting of your own websites and org. Thi has nothing to do with TRUTH, it has to do with POLICY.

Please explain to me what exactly you mean by having the "heads-up" on this guy?!  The truth is that you are pretty much NPOV and maybe even pro Nanach, we have had our differences but they were in context. Editing and conduct of Yonina, however, is completely POV. Take a look e.g. at how he starts explaining the history of Nanach:

Although Na Nach Nachma is based on the name of Rebbe Nachman, he himself did not use it, and it was unknown in his day. However, he did say that repeating one word over and over was an effective form of meditation (Likutei Moharan Tinyana #96). His own personal mantra was Ribono shel Olam (Master of the Universe) which he pronounced with the Yiddish intonation as: Ree-BOY-noy shell OY-lahm. Many Breslover Hasidim today still prefer this mantra.

Huh? This section was not writen by Yoninah. This was originally written by me, rooster613, whom you just said was reasonably NPOV. Or maybe you do not think I'm NPOV after all? Rooster613 (talk) 09:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC) 08:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aside for the fact that he gives no references to this idiocy, and aside for the fact that it's wrong (Rabbi Nachman did tell people to say Ribono Shel Olam, and if they couldn't come up with other words they should repeat it, but I don't know off-hand of any place that says that he did this, and obviously this is not a mantra if one is supposed to be saying other things), please explain to me why it's relevent at all to know the Yiddish intonation: Ree-BOY-noy shell OY-lahm!?!? But I do grant him that this, every time I see this, it gives me joy, sheer madness. It would be one thing if he just put it up once, maybe he copied it from somewhere, but do you know how many times he reverted serious work to this idiocy?!?!

Does this make sense to you? Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun (talk) 11:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Na nach, it is relevant to know the Yiddish pronunciation because that is how Rebbe Nachman said it, he spoke Yiddish, not Israeli Hebrew, and the non-Na-Nacher Breslovers I know who use it (yes, there are such!) often draw out the OY part as a sigh -- again in Yiddish idiom. The Israeli pronunciation has no such play on words and it puts the accent on different syllables, which changes the rhythm. And it is not any more "idiocy" to include this than your insistence that everyone should be shouting Na Nach Nachma which appears NOWHERE in the writings of Rebbe Nachman and is a 20th-century phenomenon. There are different traditions within Breslov, there is no one single leader even though you keep insisting that there is. Rooster613 (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Peace Fellowship

Hello. I noticed you had expressed an interest in adding a Jewish Peace Fellowship article at one point, so wanted to give you a heads up that I've created a stub for the organization. Anything you can contribute would be helpful. Thanks. Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 23:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is now refed. There was a list of source websites on the discussion page which somebody has used to create footnotes on the main page. Hopefully this is enough to keep the page? Rooster613 (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited A Sacred Duty (film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Reconstructionist and David Rosen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
