[edit] Steinsaltz a Palestinian?

It seems to me that we should categorize all those born in the British Mandate of Palestine as "Palestinian," even if they are Jewish, Druze, Bahai, Christian, etc. Perhaps there should even be a subcategory called "Palestinian rabbis," to which Steinsaltz would belong. This should be something everyone can agree about, even, no? --Leifern 00:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

NO. hasofer 09:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

definitely, no!!! Tio 10:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

In fact, Jews born in Mandatory Palestine were classified as "Palestinians", along with the other inhabitants of the territory. Today's Jerusalem Post newspaper was founded in 1932 as "The Palestine Post", and to this day the paper's owning corporation is known as Palestine Post, Ltd., (see About Us on the JPost website.) As with many other things, Jewish identity has been suborned by foreigners, so that the Arabs took over the name of "Palestinian" from the Jews in the area. The horrified reactions seen above reflect the lack of historical perspective on the problem.

-- Eliyahu S ^Talk 06:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Currently Palestine has no sovreignty over the area Rav. Steinsaltz lives, so this kind of thing wouldn't seem to make any sense. You'd be making a political statement, and there is no reason to make such a statement for an article of this type (also goes against NPOV policy)130.91.98.31 02:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC).

[edit] References

None them are used in references to anything. The section should be renamed to "Works." Anyone agree? ems (not to be confused with the nonexistant pre-dating account by the same name) 22:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Can we get photos of Rebbi Adin and of his Talmud? 203.214.153.235 17:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism of Rabbi Steinsaltz

I would appreciate any support for Rabbi Steinsaltz at this page Talk:Modern_attempts_to_revive_the_Sanhedrin#Objection to Rabbi Steinsalz --Historian2 08:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

The discussion was closed and archived. See Talk:Modern_attempts_to_revive_the_Sanhedrin/Archive_2#Objection to Rabbi Steinsalz.

-- Eliyahu S ^Talk 06:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I have talked to Steinsaltz. He doesn't claim to have semicha yet. He claims that he is attempting to re-establish it.

Criticism of Steinsaltz talmud. Why not mention of the ashkenazi (e.g. shach) controversy? Putiing someone who has agendas against orthodoxy as criticism is very misleading.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.jpg

Image:Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
