Talk:Yechiel Michel Pines

Dubious
"He received both a religious and secular Jewish education, and was mentored by Rabbi Mordechai Gimpel Jaffe, an early leader of Ḥovevei Zion, and Leon Zamenhof, the brother of L. L. Zamenhof."

The second part of this seems extremely unlikely. Leon Zamenhof was born in 1875, but Yechiel Michel Pines emmigrated to Palestine in 1878. Perhaps it was a different Zamenhof? I can't view the page at the Google Books URL. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:09, 4 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I removed this, as it is simply impossible. Someone should still check the source to see if the rest of the claim is true, though. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:12, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Add pic of rehov pines?
Rehov Pines in Zichron Moshe is named after him (sourced this in the article), and I found a street sign on google maps. Is that considered public domain, and if so, do you think I should add it to the page?TheoLaLeo (talk) 04:22, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

respelling of "pines"
I added a respelling of his last name as the IPA seems unintuitive but someone removed it. Thoughts? See here for why it might be kept "Sometimes another means of indicating a pronunciation is more desirable than this respelling system, such as when a name is intended to be a homonym of an existing English word or phrase, or in case of an initialism or a name composed of numbers or symbols."
