Hi, IZAK, I hope it's OK that I'm adding this thank-you to someone else's thank-you section. I just wanted to say, er, thank you, for adding a welcome message to my talk page. As a newbie, that was a pleasant surprise. It was also helpful to get that added insight to some of the behind-the-scenes effort. --Rich Janis 13:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The Judaism Newsletter

Sir Moses Montefore, a Jewish activist who died 123 years ago this month "Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News The Jewish Barnstar The New Jewish Barnstar There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday.

Judaizing Jerusalem

Do you/will you have time to add all of that, and police the article going forward? Historicist (talk) 14:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

• Hi Historicist. I cannot promise to "police" any one article. With Passover fast approaching, many things will have to wait a while. But I can try to keep an eye out and add what I can especially if you will call on me to do so. I think that the real issue is one of perception, that while almost all Israelis and Jews view the resettlement and rebuilding of Jerusalem by huge Jewish communities as one of the great marvels of modern Jewish history, obviously this may not make some anti-Israel people happy because nothing the Jews do, short of national suicide, will ever satisfy them. So anyhow, while some may think that "Judaization of Jerusalem" is some sort of insult or pejorative, and its just too crazy to see how Israel's enemies think they have hit on yet another colorful term to insult the Jews and Judaism and stoke up world opinion accordingly, in the eyes of most of the Jewish people today it's actually a great compliment and nothing to be either ashamed or afraid of.

Help, please

Hi. Last week, I made a request on the WikiProject Judaism talk page for some help in finding a transliteration of part of the U'n'taneh Tokef, specifically the section beginning and ending "Truly, You alone judge and reprove, discern and witness, record and seal, recount and measure. You remember all that is forgotten ...... who have come into this world must pass before You like a flock of sheep." Would you be able to help, please? 212.84.120.40 (talk) 07:39, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

• Hi, thanks for contacting me. There are transliterated machzorim available, see ArtScroll's Machzor: Transliterated: Full Size Rosh Hashanah - Ashkenaz - Seif Edition and ArtScroll's Machzor: Transliterated: Full Size Yom Kippur - Ashkenaz - Seif Edition. Hope this helps, IZAK (talk) 13:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Hi again. As I was only looking for this one section, I was hoping to find something free somewhere on the Web. Thanks, though, for your suggestion. 212.84.103.193 (talk) 17:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
