Talk:Mir yeshiva

Hi
Hi - I just thought I'd have a look at some of the articles you've been writing, TShilo.

Question about name
Just have a question here - the Mir Yeshiva was so called because it was founded in Mir, Belarus - but it has moved so many times since then. I guess, it is still called the Mir Yeshiva for historical reasons. Is this what normally happens? The Yeshiva continues to be named after the place where it is founded, even after the school might have moved halfway around the world? PaulHammond 15:45, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, Paul, that is correct. Numerous Haredi Judaism groups and institutions have retained "their" names based on the towns in Europe they first originated in. Famous examples are Lubavitch (from a small town in White Russie); Ger, (for a small town in Poland); and many more... IZAK 11:30, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

R' Zvi Block
I see y'all have been working on "my" article. This was one of the first articles I worked on after (finally) registering. I'm not convinced that removing the link to R' Zvi Block was the right approach. Would there be any objection to adding him back in under a section entitled something perhaps along the lines of Mir Yeshiva? (Now, for this edit, this article will, at least finally, be on my watchlist. :-p)   Tomer TALK  06:59, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Post-war situation
Where's Reb Chaim Shmulevitz? And the present RY (also called Nosson Zvi Finkel, so don't link him to the Or ha-Tzofun article)? JFW | T@lk  07:53, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Mir Yeshiva web site?
Does anyone know if the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem has a web site?

Hahahahahahaha...the present Rosh yeshiva of the Mir has banned the use of cell phones so you think that they would have a web-site? hahahahahahahahaha IZAK 07:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

R' Neuberger, Alumnus of Mir??
BS"D

R' Nueberger never graduated from Mir, I'm pretty sure of that. If it can be clarified here, great, if not, I learn by Ner, I can ask there.

Redirecting links
I am trying to redirect the links to this page (there shouldn't be any!). This is rather complicated by the lack of a page on the Mirrer Yeshiva in Mir. --Redaktor 13:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Mir (Jerusalem) and Mir (Brooklyn)
I disagree with setting up two separate articles. Currently, both articles have (slightly different) histories of the original Mir, which is redundant and will force editors to synchronize potentially two versions of the same material. And moving the historical Mir material to its own article, would leave the Brooklyn and Jerusalem pages as very short stubs.

Rather, information about all three yeshivas should be combined in one article (at least until there is a larger amount of material on one of the contemporary yeshivas to the point that the combined article loses clarity and good structure). Jms2000 20:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
