Welcome Savant
You have to put your edits to the talk page at the bottom.. that is where people look for them. Zargulon 14:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).
I reverted the text to an earlier version as it had been vandalised. In doing so I reverted your most recent edit, which hadn't removed the vandalism. You may wish to re-add your edit. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 21:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Savant, I don't agree with DRosenbachs views about the primality of orthodoxy, I merely have no problem with him holding them!!! In an effort to be conciliatory, my clarity suffered :( Zargulon 18:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

To User 198.23.5.73 I am Sagbliss and am involved in the Supreme Court of Canada case. I see you are a recent university graduate and think you know everything. But the one thing you are not is an attorney and do not know the facts of the case in Canada, Stephanie Bruker v Jason Marcovitz. For some reason, you think you have the authority to slander Ms. Bruker and to write salacious things which have absolutely no relevance to the get case which is before the Supreme Court of Canada. Further, if you do live in Israel, you should understand what lashon hora is.

Hi.. your comment
"It's a transliteration, and one that in the case of 'psak' can only be pronounced by vocalising an e there anyway, written or not."
interested me.
Do we vocalize the p in in "psychology" (or any other words that begin with ps)? You could say that the standard English pronunciation is to make the "p" silent. Nonetheless in the original Greek ps one letter, the double consonant psi (ψ) and I have never heard it claimed that the "p" was silent in Greek. Likewise "xylophone" etc. which is even a double consonant in English - some people doubtless say "zylophone", and maybe some say "kesylophone" but I'm sure some people manage "ksylophone", particularly after a vowel. More germanely still, what about Hebrew words beginning with the double consonant tzadik.. should they be transliterated e.g. tezadik according to what you say above?

I noted your addition of "other" after Talmud to the intermarriage in Judaism page. This is not the section I was editing, and I appreciate your attention to improving these articles, but I do have a small problem with it. I think the original editor meant the Talmud and LATER parts of Jewish law. To say "other" implies that the Talmud is not THE source of Jewish law, and implies that the author was referring to, say, Mechilta and Sifre. (I realize your tradition may in fact disagree with, for example, Maimonides on the primacy of the Talmud, but then we are getting POV.) On the other hand, if the editor really MEANT the Sifre, for example, I would have no problem with your change. What do you think was meant? Mzk1 ( talk) 19:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Savant - I noted your proposal to stop participating in the discussion at Posek. You are a free agent and I understand your desire to avoid conflict. User:Debresser is an inveterate troublemaker and attention-seeking bully whose ways are well known to the WP administration through numerous past disputes I have witnessed which you can find at his edit log if you have morbid curiosity. This is my first run-in with him personally, but I do not think it will take much effort to see him off. It is important to emphasise that people like him are usually paper tigers. This is the strategy which usually works against such people, and isn't hard to implement without losing your cool or becoming stressed. It generally involves doing nothing.
So I encourage you not to give in, people like Debresser are paper tigers. You don't have to actually do anything - you don't even have to follow the page - maybe occasionally revert to the compromise version so that it's obvious that it isn't just me. I just encourage you not to explicitly concede. But like I say, the final decision is yours. Zargulon ( talk) 21:27, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I am again requesting your advice on what can be considered "traditional" from a non-Orthodox viewpoint. This has beome more important as someone is editing Jewish Wedding based on his personal opinion as to what one consists of.
My original question was: Can one say that the Talmud considers Homosexual relations (at least male sodomy) to be absolutely prohibited?
I would also like to know if you have an approximate cut-off date for what can be considered traditional as opposed to Orthodox?
Finally, would you say that all major American denominations consider themselves descndants of traditional Judaism? Mzk1 ( talk) 16:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
