Women's ability to read Hebrew

edit

Women knew the alphabet to read Hebrew but had very little vocabulary --so could not read with comprehension. So -- how to state this reality succintly and accurately ? Chaiim (talk) 23:48, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation

edit

Can someone please give this a proper IPA pronunciation notation, rather than this roundabout information on how to pronounce the word? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 07:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why the removal

edit

An anon has now twice removed "Typically, Tkhines invoke God's blessings, ask for purification from evil thoughts, and mention the biblical matriarchs as models of righteousness. [Liptzin, 1972, 15]" What is the problem with this well-cited sentence? - Jmabel | Talk 06:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Debate

edit

Why is that debate and critique included in the entry of the article and not here in the discussion room? (Ezra (talk) 13:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC))Reply

Mainstream

edit

Doesn't the use of the term "mainstream" when we refer only to light-skinned European Jews assume white/Euro privilege?

Not necessarily - prior to the Holocaust Ashkenazi Jews made up 90% of World Jewry[1]. What was mainstream there may largely be said to be normativley Jewish in that time. (Ezra (talk) 13:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC))Reply
