Talk:Esther Jungreis

Tracing one's roots to King David
No one can "trace" their roots to King David, because there are no records of proof. However, there are communally accepted oral traditions passed down through generations, which assign such lore to people, who for generations performed outstanding services to their communities. The services being of religious nature, and wise communal leadership.

This claim circulates among the Orthodox communities, and whether it's really true or not, is not important, because regardless of its veracity, Starbucks still charges a descendant of King David, the same price for a cup of cappuccino, as they would customers with less illustrious ancestral claims.

Relevance? Couldn't find anything about Starbucks in the article. user talk:David (not King) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:5C66:7700:9CC5:5FA0:8F62:ACF4 (talk) 14:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

I have a yichus chart (family history, family tree) showing my mother's side of the family back many generations. At the beginning of it, people didn't have last names because they were not yet in common use. It was written by my great uncle using material from Europe which was in existence before WWII. Much of those records were destroyed during the war. Labellesanslebete (talk) 20:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Merger proposed
It is hereby proposed that the Hineni wiki article, the subject of which was the major work of the late Esther Jungreis, be folded, at least for now, into the article about her. The same year of her passing, hatnotes were placed on the wiki article about the organization, claiming MULTIPLE ISSUES.

To save the Hineni article, in the spirit of saving Yavneh & its sages, the Hineni wiki can find refuge in the Esther Jungreis article. Someday, perhaps, the Hineni section can be marked " ;" meanwhile - the merger. Yunmagz (talk) 21:28, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

religious “leader“ and Hineni “movement”
She was a Public speaker and orator. However the organization she founded “hineni” is not a movement and she wasn’t a religious “leader”.--2021friedman2021 (talk) 20:55, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
