I will review this article. I have nominated the articles Inanna, Enlil, Anunnaki, Athena, Jonah, and Pythagoras in this category and they are all currently awaiting review. I also have several more articles I am still working on that I plan to nominate in the relatively near future. I have read this article over a few times and, right now, it looks like a promising candidate for GA. --Katolophyromai (talk) 05:02, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I found one sentence that is uncited. I must remind you that all statements in the article must be cited to a reliable source for verifiability. Aside from that, I think that the article is fine and I am prepared to pass it as soon as a citation is provided. --Katolophyromai (talk) 02:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. If you are asking for a cite for the various locations which might have a Jewish chapel in them, I will have to do more research. However, I added a follow-up sentence to this paragraph which explains when the Torah is read during prayer services. Does this work? Yoninah (talk) 16:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. I think the citation you added works. While it would be ideal to have a citation to support the locations that might have a Jewish chapel, I do not think that this is necessary. I was mainly expecting you to provide a source to support the statement that the scroll would be designated for use during prayer services in a synagogue or sanctuary. I think that citation you have provided does that perfectly. (Once again, even the most obvious of statements such as this one still require a citation.) I am now prepared to pass the article. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Comments: Based on my understanding of the criteria, I believe that this article passes all of them. If you think I have made a mistake or the article has not really passed, please contact me and inform me of my mistake. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:35, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) The article is very well-written and I did not notice any spelling or grammar errors when I was reading through (though I have been known to miss them before).
 * 2) The references were easy to check since most of them were linked in the citations.
 * 3) The article adequately covers its subject, explaining all aspects of it, including the customs and traditions associated with it as well as the ceremony's background and history.
 * 4) I could not find any neutrality issues. (I do not think that this subject would be particularly prone to a great deal of controversy anyway.)
 * 5) The article is extremely stable; nearly all recent changes to the article are extremely minor tweaks conducted by the primary author.
 * 6) The article uses a large number of helpful images, showing numerous examples of Torah inauguration ceremonies from the past fifty years.
 * Thank you! Yoninah (talk) 09:24, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Remember that it is recommended that you should try to review two articles for every one you nominate. Right now, I seem to be the only one reviewing articles in the "Philosophy and religion" category and there is quite a bit of a backlog. It would be nice to have some help working that backlog down. --Katolophyromai (talk) 12:00, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, I am very familiar with the rules of DYK, where I am a regular participant, and not at all familiar with the rules of GA. But if you like, I'll give it a try. There's a help desk for newbies? Yoninah (talk) 12:49, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not know if there is a "help desk," but you can find detailed instructions on the process at Good article nominations/Instructions. --Katolophyromai (talk) 13:34, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
