 * Provisional Keep Unless there are two rabbis with the same name (obviously possible), a quick Google-skim makes him seem obviously notable, as he seems to turn up all over the place. Hopefully, a Hebrew speaker can check Israeli sources as to whether this is actually the case —  iride scent   (talk to me!)  23:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as he is famous and notable as a rabbi to the Baal teshuvas ("returnees" to Orthodox Judaism) in Jerusalem, particularly his work at the key Aish HaTorah institution. IZAK 04:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notability established as per above. -- M P er el 08:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Rabbi Berkovits is very highly regarded.  He is the main posek for the English speaking community in Jerusaelm today. One day he will be from the Gedolei HaDor(great Rabbis of the generation). His efforts in rent control have spawned similar movements in neighborhoods all around haredi Jerusaelm.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.224.228 (talk) 12:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
