Talk:Solomon Alkabetz

Palestinian rabbi
I intend to add he was a Palestinian rabbi to the lead, as the category has been removed by Debresser. Chesdovi (talk) 10:54, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * See Category talk:16th-century Palestinian rabbis that such an edit is rejected by many editors. If Chesdovi will make such an edit, he will therefore be reverted forthwith. In addition, he is WP:FORUMSHOPPING here, so please leave your comments at the discussion I linked to. Debresser (talk) 11:24, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Israel, Palestine, etc
o obviate the question of whether he died in "Israel" or "Palestine" -- which is then a question of 'in which modern state was the city of Safed at the time when Rabbi Alkabetz died there' -- we will simply go with "neither". This is not simply the most convenient answer, it is more factually accurate than the other alternatives.

He died in the city of Safed, which -- as I understand it -- was within the territory of the Ottoman Empire. DS (talk) 20:02, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
