The language of this page is not appropiate for an encyclopedia entry. It sounds like it was written by a child or someone without a mastery of English. For example, "He was a big zionist" [sic]. That is just a sample of the problems with the grammar and usage in this article. Would it be possible for someone more versed in this topic to edit this article and correct the mistakes?

Problems
Large parts of this, adulatory, text are written from the perspective of people in or alligned with the Merkaz HaRav position, i.e., WP:Promo. "But Talmudic Sages taught that the redemption will take place 'little by little', like the spreading light of dawn in the morning sky. This indicates that the redemption of Israel is a process that advances in stages."
 * This means we have stretches of pure WP:OR. I.e.

The but there is meant to imply that the general tradition of Torah rabbinical thought, hinted at in the previous line, is incorrect, and the contrary assertion is made by citing a single passage in the Talmud (b) as if it were the last word. Everyone knows there is no such thing as 'the last word' in Talmudic scholarship. I have removed the passage for those reasons.Nishidani (talk) 05:44, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

"Numerous yeshivas in Israel follow his teachings, primarily Mercaz HaRav." In English prose that is dumb. 'Numerous dogschools follow Tamar Geller's teachings, primarily Tamar Geller's Loved World School.Nishidani (talk) 14:57, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have removed this undocumented, and, logically, poorly formed sentence.

Class rating
One works, and the devil take the hindmost. But there is some anomaly in classing this as of low importance in the category Judaism at least. The evidence that the subject had a profound impact on the formation of people who pushed to settle a half a million Jews throughout the West Bank is very strong, and widely sourced. So, like his father, he has a notable historical significance. Still, I personally don't give a rodent's rectum for these ratings. It's no longer C class, in any case, since it's now GA by any standard, and anyone is cordially invited to make a DYK out of any of the numerous curiosities in the article.Nishidani (talk) 17:06, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Better profile picture
There is a nice picture here: File:תמונת הרצי"ה.jpg

Can someone please replace? Thanks! 2A01:6500:B107:A784:F968:D28:68:2779 (talk) 08:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * please change "image               = הרב צבי יהודה קוק עם אריאל שרון וגאולה כהן בעלייה הראשונה של אלון מורה (cropped).jpg" in the tamplate to "image                = תמונת הרצי"ה.jpg" 2A01:6500:B107:A784:F968:D28:BF:E149 (talk) 19:36, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have fulfilled the edit request. As an aside while the image is clearer due to less shadowing on the face, it could do with a crop IMO since the added sides means it ends up smaller. Nil Einne (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
