Add info to your user page
Hi ChosidFrumBirth: Perhaps you could add a little information about your interests to your user page at User:ChosidFrumBirth. See User page. Best wishes, IZAK 12:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I am a Chernobyler einikel presently living in the greater New York area who grew up chassidish. I am new to computers, but I am interested in reading the various articles about the different Hasidic dynasties and Rebbes since I am distantly related to many of them. I think that wikipedia does a great service in getting this information out there for those who may not be familiar. Thank you IZAK for the help and encouragement. --ChosidFrumBirth 16:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia
I'm sorry we got off to a bad start. Sometimes, the lack of inflection can make anyone's criticism seem overly harsh. On the other hand, perhaps I have been too harsh. Either way, I hope we can put any problems aside. For clarification purposes, I do not have a personal issue with R' Korff. I nominated the article for deletion because I believed there were issues with it. I will continue to work on editing it to make sure that it is accurate, and complies with Wikipedia policy. As you know, from learning Gemara, enduring criticism leads to perfection. I hope that between your knowledge of Zhvill-Mezbuz and some other editors criticism (including my own), we can arrive at a finished project that is both informative and accurate. I hope this helps. Either way, it looks like we'll be stuck with each other: the editors of articles about Chassidus on Wikipedia form a small community. Take care, and have fun.--Meshulam 21:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it. With that approach I don't feel "stuck" with you at all, and look forward to cooperating with you in any way I can. Although I am not one of the Rebbe's hasidim (I have communicated with him but haven't really met him yet), he is a distant cousin on the Chernobyl side through Tolne and I do know a good deal about his family and Zvill-Mezuz. Let me know what I can do to help -- I will keep an eye on the related pages (as well as others). Please don't be offended at all if I correct what you or others may edit. I will only do so if I am sure of my facts. Again, thank you. (I don't know if you get this here or if I have to put this on your page -- I will do so there, but please let me know proper procedure or protocol.) --ChosidFrumBirth 22:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please join in the discussion on the Noahide Laws talk page about cleaning it up etc. Thanks! p.s. im an einekle of reb mottle the maggid too. Chavatshimshon 08:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Deleting comments
With respect to the back and forth discussion where you both resolved to delete your comments: You're right. Those comments can be deleted. But on the Zvhill page, there were a number of people whose comments were deleted there who did not consent (I know because I am one of them). That page cannot be deleted. --Meshulam 15:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Tough Guy
I'm impressed with the lengths to which you're willing to go to defend your Rebbe. I know very little about him (other than what I posted earlier). But the fact that he has such a Chosid like this speaks volumes about his gadlus. (This is not to cause anyone to have gaavah... the comment was purely about the Rebbe :-P ). Keep it up. --Meshulam 02:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the "compliment" I think. You sound like an interesting person yourself (and you seem to know quite a lot about the Rebbe, tho not all of it accurate or from reliable sources without an agenda) -- ever get to the New York area? --ChosidFrumBirth 15:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Lets keep this on your talk page to avoid confusion. The internet frightens me quite a bit, and I don't like to give out personal information on public places. Please e-mail me at RebMeshulam@gmail.com. Thanks. --Meshulam 17:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I have made a Template:Infobox Rebbe to help streamline the רעבישע ביאגראפיעס. If you agree that this is useful, please say so at Templates_for_deletion where someone is trying to get it deleted. --Redaktor 23:29, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chosid, I have initiated a request at Mediation Cabal see Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-04-29 Mezhbizh (Hasidic dynasty). Hopefully this will create some balance in the discussions between you and. Thank you, IZAK 15:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Yisroel ben Eliezer (The Baal Shem Tov)
If you and User:Klezmer don't stop edit warring immediately, I'm going to post a report at WP:AN3RR. Both of you are already over the 3RR limit.--DLand TALK 16:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule on Yisroel ben Eliezer (The Baal Shem Tov). Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Baal Shem Tov family tree and R. Boruch of Medzhybizh
I have reverted to the previous text, but added your comment to the content. Please tell me if you think it's better now.

You see, the issue is hardly neutral, and while it is a definite fact that R. Boruch said he was the successor of the Baal Shem Tov, many of his generation disagreed, especially the Tanya and the Chozeh - whose direct spiritual descendants, as I'm sure you know, include almost all Chasidim today.

By the way - can you please add the reference to Mekor Baruch in the appropriate place? Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 15:23, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind - I took care of the reference. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi - thanks for the feedback. First of all, I have now read everything I could find about your view on the subject, your contributions, your block log, your disputes, etc. Bear this in mind when you read this. Thus, I know that you are quite aware that your views on this issue are "unique" to say the least. You have been heavily censured before for pushing your opinion on the subject. Your claim that Reb Boruch was the sole heir of the Baal Shem Tov was at most Reb Boruch's personal opinion. Your preoccupation with this verges on monomania. (Your absurd interpretation of Rov/Rebbe terminology is exemplary of this, and of your lack of contact with the living Hasidic world.) In any case, I had no intention of involving myself in this mess of yours. I wrote the "Baal Shem Tov had no dynasty" paragraph to explain the significance of the Baal Shem Tov family tree, since there was a proposal to delete the page for non-notability. Therefore, it does not matter whether the Baal Shem Tov named an heir or not, but whether in practice his family formed a dynasty or not, which even you admit that he did not, since most followed the Maggid of Mezeritsh. P.S. I will address part of you wrote. You quote Mekor Baruch ad nauseam. Mekor Baruch, like most Chasidishe maase bicher, is nothing more than a story-book, like many other books written by the same author, not to be taken as Scriptural truth in any case. I have never seen any evidence of an "agenda" on the Chozeh's part. I could go one... but knowing your history, I won't bother. Please proceed in a rational manner.

Got it. I'm pretty careful about all this, but in the past did spot some edits that had an obvious agenda. All set.
