Talk:Ohel (grave)

Mausoleum?
How does this structure differ from a mausoleum? Boneyard90 (talk) 17:42, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you have a point there; an ohel could be called a Jewish mausoleum. But I'll wait for other Jewish editors to weigh in. Yoninah (talk) 19:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I see you reverted my edit. If I'm in error, then so be it, but the article as it was (is) gives little indication in the text where these things are found or their significance to any one group. I see that the graves of "many prominent Hasidic Rebbes and Jewish community leaders" are in ohel. Ok, that means there are graves of other people as well. By default, it can be surmised that there are ohel for people that are not "prominent Hasidic Rebbes and Jewish community leaders". So who? Other Jewish people? Because of the lack of information and the photo I (falsely) came to the conclusion that they were only in Israel. This needs to be clarified. Boneyard90 (talk) 00:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I did some more editing to clarify the points you raised. I appreciate your pointing out things that could be misconstrued by readers unfamiliar with an ohel. There is currently a dearth of references for this article, and I will try to upgrade it more. Best, Yoninah (talk) 08:38, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
