Talk:Aharon Moshe Kiselev

Walk on water
When the article was tagged for the subject's alleged (lack of) notability, the HARBIN section had 3 sourced statements:
 * With the encouragement of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he arrived in Harbin in 1913 to serve the city’s three synagogues.
 * In December 1937, at the first annual Far Eastern Jewish Conference, he was declared ‘Chief Rabbi of the Far East’.
 * Kiselev led Agudas Chasidei Chabad in Harbin together with Rabbi Daniel Chaskin. During World War II, they assisted many Jewish refugees who had fled to Japan from German-occupied Europe.

The EARLY LIFE section had an admittedly non-sourced statement
 * He was the rabbi of Barysaw from 1900 to 1913.

Putting the pieces together-
 * a major world leader (Lubavitcher Rebbe) selected an experienced leader to deal with a place about to be flooded with refugees
 * a conference selected him to work beyond his local area - a Chief Rabbi

Does he need a space ship to be notable?

I've added more, including what he did during World War I, an earlier period than what was discussed in the article prior to my edits.

While this article can be submerged within the Jews of China article, that covers centuries of Jewish experience, I've downstepped it to RABBI-stub, and am about to remove the NOTABILITY HatNote. Moving it to HARBIN or JEWS OF CHINA might make sense to some, but as a STUB it should be sufficiently identified as to level of expectations to readers. Pi314m (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
