Hello! I'm happy to review this article. I'll be using the template below. If you have any questions as we go, you can just ask here or on my talk page, either's fine! —Ganesha811 (talk) 01:48, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that due to the holidays, this will be a slow review! Apologies for the delay, but I will keep working on it steadily. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your updates and edits - I am returning to this review shortly! —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:03, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the slow pace of the review - this is very far from my area of expertise, so I've been trying to read up a little to make sure I can properly assess neutrality and the sources used. I've been learning a lot and having fun with it, but it means it's taking some time. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Please recall that as you go through this with an eye on readability and comprehensibility, most readers will neither understand modern or ancient Hebrew, nor be familiar with halakhic law, as you mention. Try to view it as someone who is approaching the topic fresh. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with that statement, and I will do my best to make this as clear and legible as possible, given the complexity of the subject matters addressed. I can assure you, however, that Jewish seminary students will quickly understand the terms. One of the reasons that I have added explanatory notes (and which, at your directives, I will soon separate from the academic notes) is to assist our ordinary reader so that he/she can understand this matter as adeptly as possible.Davidbena (talk) 18:04, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks - definitely good to recall that our encyclopedia is for a general audience, not seminary students! —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

, I wish to inform you and others that I have completed the task of bringing this article up to the standard that was requested of me, and now you and others are free to do with the article as you wish. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to improve this article.Davidbena (talk) 01:52, 27 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I will take another look! —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:57, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. I just received a message on my Talk Page informing me that the GAN has been rejected for what the reviewer thought were "unnecessary" block quotes, when, in actuality, these are not ordinary block quotes at all, but rather a full and complete translation of the entire text of the mosaic, just as full and complete translations appear for the Declaration of Independence (Mexico) and for the United States Declaration of Independence, just for an example. Perhaps it was because I broke down the text into smaller sections, to make it easier to discuss their import. What, in your opinion, should I do to make the article more agreeable to all, and, yet still, easy to comprehend?Davidbena (talk) 01:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * HI David, that message was for your nomination of a different article (Mawza Exile), not this one. I am still reviewing this article and we are on track here. In this article, I do not find the block quotes egregious. —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:48, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Wow! I'm relieved. My mistake. I confused his reply to this article. Thanks!Davidbena (talk) 03:16, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * The article now meets the GA standard and passes! Congrats to the nominator, Davidbena, for their hard work and many improvements, as well as to anyone else who may have worked on the article. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:27, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
