Bruchim h
You seem to know a few wiki codes so obvioulsy don't need the above. Bruchim haba anyways! frummer 10:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Don't need that indeed. --Chussid 21:18, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, it's either boruch haba or bruchim habaim! --Chussid 14:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
I saw that in the Noam Chomsky article you reverted another user's edit with the edit summary "rv vandalism" and reported it on the Administrator's Noticeboard as vandalism. While the user was blatently pushing a POV and his edits should have been reverted you are incorrect in calling his edits "vandalism". Vandalism is specifically used for instances in which a user deliberately tries to harms the project (in a nutshell, Intentionally making non-constructive edits to Wikipedia). An example would be blanking an article, putting up random images in an article, putting some irrelevant text in an article ex. "George *Jakewuzhere* Washington was the first President of the United States", etc... I'm glad that you were quick to stop these edits but you also have to understand that this distinction is very important and more experienced editors take these things quite seriously. So for future purposes please be more careful in choosing your edit summaries.--Jersey Devil 14:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

re uoj
yes i rv'd the vandalism to r. weiss, then had to rv it again almost immediately. hopefully the report shld deal with it, tho these things can be slow. we also have to watch for 3r i think, tho i'm not sure of that. & i notice you've fixed the cat thing i was going to point out :) amusing as tho i'm oppsosed to zionism, i'm also a gentile. if uoj continues, should get banned indefinitely, as its effectively a vandalism account. it also could be a sock puppet, opened then left for 2 weeks, so it doesn't count as 'new'. obviously someone who knows their way around wp. &rArr;  bsnowball  15:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

ah, good, these things aren't always so slow. yes i am more or less noachide, tho more by belief, i get the impression that most of the 'congregations' are more or less zionist. it was actually through (pacifist) politics that i found out about nk & satmarer. & became interested in jewish history & thought, through of all things, looking into the influence of judaism on contemporary continental philosophy. so i try to be careful editing in these areas, the world really needs more goyische opinions about 'what judaism really is'... &rArr; bsnowball  14:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Oops
Didnt realise, i was on a welcoming spree. frummer 09:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * you are right, it is hypocritical and you are free to take it out as a kanoey just like i did with weiss and friedman, but i couldnt leave it out by default. who are you a sock of? frummer 09:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I was asked to create the Berg article, im not into his thing though. I told you the reason i gave him the title. Also, let me introduce to a concept, of replying to something in the right place, for example in responding to my talk on Weiss without having responded to my above comment on your own talk page is considered snobbish. About whether they should be considered rabbis, plz see the talk page there. frummer 11:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

"Rabbi" Friedman
I mean no disrespect whatsoever by using the quotes; I am just emphasizing the word. But, Chief Rabbi Yonah Metzger has explicitly challenged whether or not Rabbi Friedman does indeed have the semicha that would allow him to use the title. Rabbi Metzger's challenge is public and sourced. The BBC source used to justify the title only shows that he is called "Rabbi" but makes no statement as to where (or from whom) Rabbi Friedman received his semicha. That people will readily assume that anyone with a white coat in a hospital is a doctor or that anyone with a long beard and hasidic garb is a Rabbi, does not make it so. While we should have explicit sources for all Rabbanim, the fact that we have such a public challenge from a reliable source dictates that we have some source that says something like "Rabbi Friedman received his semicha from..." that would constitute a verifiable confirmation of his claimed status. That he is referenced as a Rabbi in an article in the general media does not satisfy this standard. Given that many readers of this article will not be from the Charedi world, many will assume that the title has been earned. While "Reb Friedman" may be used informally, "Rabbi Friedman" implies something different. Would he be called up for an aliyah tomorrow as "HaRav Moshe Aryeh ben..."?

"Three pilgrim festivals" vs. "Three pilgrimage festivals"
Hi Chussid: Question: What should be the name for the Shalosh Regalim: the Three pilgrim festivals or the Three pilgrimage festivals? Please see the discussion at Talk:Three pilgrimage festivals. Thanks you. IZAK 17:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The Rambam was a "Muslim" for a while?
Hi Chussid: Ever heard of this? See List of Muslim converts: "Maimonides - Jewish philosopher, theologian, and physician forced to convert to Islam under pain of death during the Cordoba massacre of 1148. Reverted to Judaism when his life was no longer under threat. " I don't see which book by "Lewis" is even cited here, and does "Lewis" even say that? (I assume this refers to the Arabist Bernard Lewis.) I had once heard that the Rambam did issue a heter for this kind of procedure (it must be written somewhere) but I had never heard that it had also happened to himself personally. I read an article in the English Yated a couple of years ago that the Mashhadi Jews in Iran relied on such a ruling from the Rambam, and that it was controversial, yet acceptable according to Halachah. Can you help with verifying this, especially if it happened to the Rambam? Thanks. IZAK 18:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The ruling by the Rambam is in Igeres HoRambam who ruled that those forcibly converted to Islam shouldn't be shunned; a far cry from himself converting under preasure which is absolutely false. The Ra'ved disagreed with him. I don't have it with me; but I can look it up if needed. Itzse 16:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Anti Zionism
BS"D

I am glad to see that me and Doniel and I aren't the only ones. Though, from what you said on the NK page, you seem to shift towards NK rather than HaEdah Hachareidis.

WP:RS & WP:V are your friends
Hi, please review and use these policies in your edits. Thanks. ←Humus sapiens ну? 10:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, see WP:CITE. ←Humus sapiens ну? 10:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not enjoying edit warring. At some point you'll need to explain how's a website without an address other than a POBox qualifies for WP:RS. ←Humus sapiens ну? 11:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Zionism
Hi Chussid, you have violated the 3RR rule on Anti-Zionism and have been blocked for 24 hours. Please use the time out to review the 3RR policy carefully. Any undoing of another editor's work, in whole or in part, counts as a revert, and a maximum of three reverts is allowed in any 24 hour period on each article. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

more r. Joel_Teitelbaum (may his name be as a blessing)
hi will you accept getting rid of all other (only 2) links to j n z except for 'jewsagainstzionism.com Satmar Grand Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum' (trans from vayoel etc which are relevent & aren't anywhere else, the mishna source can be found elsewhere) then it will be them holding out on unblocking the page. ps we shouldn't "hand them ammuntion", even mild(?) rudeness like my claim about 'childishness' etc. on dovid weiss, at best, only slows things down. moral high-grounds are useful! (if nothing else) good luck, ben &rArr;  bsnowball  11:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

flakier than thou
please don't waste your time defending me, or imho anyone else, from frummer. tho i agree that the 'joke' about the rebbe is extremely stupid i thought it should just be left, it says more about that editor than we could. as far as i can see, the only useful thing about him is that he has a mercifully short attention span ;) &rArr; bsnowball  10:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

3RR warning
Chussid, you've technically violated the 3RR rule at Moshe Hirsch by reverting four times in relation to the stub templates. I'm not going to block you because the violation is borderline, but please note for the future that any undoing of another editor's work, in whole or in part, whether involving the same material or different material each time, counts as a revert. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 23:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

hey
I suggest you calm down... this is not place to be obsessive, we're all just yidden contributing in our good time... and check your own words, i've boldened one. frummer 19:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Weiss
Chussid, I don't understand why you are so nasty. I did not slander, nor resort to personal attacks; I merely communicated what I heard from many people. If one were to be called a Doctor by the media even though he did not go to medical school or earn a doctorate, it would still be inappropriate to call his a Doctor. The same goes for Mr. Weiss. The world was fooled by a delusional (at best) person who claims to be a Rabbi so that he can have legitimacy. If he is not, techinically, a Rabbi, it should be noted. Second, if the Edah and Satmar disassociated themselves from him, it stands to reason that he is not a legitamite NK member. Mr. Friedman's wife is securing a divorce, too. These are facts. Please do not get so carried away with pro-Weiss emotion that you refuse to see things from a broader point of view. Please respond on the Weiss page. Thank you.
