I have to say the History of your family line is amazing. How long did it take you to return to Judaism may I ask? Do you have any brothers or sisters and have they done the same? -User: olockers

Hello. Thank you for your kind words. If your question is when did I make Teshuvah, it was about 6 years ago. If your question is the time frame I was a Ba'al Teshuvah about 5 months, mainly to show the Rabbis that worked with me that I had already known Torah, Halakhah, and Teimani and Sepahardi Minhag. I am an only child. We have always had a mixed family. Part of my family were Orthodox, and another part of my family is Coservative/Reform.--EhavEliyahu 18:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Judaism

Shalom, Eliyahu. I just wanted to say "hello" and say that I look forward to working with you in the future; the articles you edit most often seem to be the ones I frequent most often, so I'm sure we'll be collaborating more in the future. I read your user page and was quite excited by what I saw. The ba'al teshuvah movement is one of my primary interests, and even passions, and it's always a joyous occasion when one returns to the faith of their fathers. Although my user page says very little about myself, I'm actually a ger tzedek of non-Jewish descent. I've been studying Judaism in all its various historical, geographic, and religious forms for quite some time, but 'attatched' myself to Judaism, as it were, only within the past year. I'm endeavouring to study as much independently myself and with orthodox rabbis I've befriended, before going though the formal process, as it is long and requires a commitment of time I can't provide at the moment since I'm in school and working. I'd love to know more about your familial history sometime, and the commitments you've made to tikkun olam sometime in the near future. Anyway, good luck with editing, and your spiritual path. Feel free to contact me anytime! Kaelus 20:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title to your Jews of West Africa article

B"H

Shalom hhaberi

I think the Arabic for the sahel/savanna zone of Africa is Bilad-es-Sudan. I think the "l" in "el" becomes an "s" when it precedes words beginning with an "s."

hayye selam,

al-Takruri

--AlTakruri 01:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

B"H

Toda Hhaberi,

I agree with you. When I intiated the name of the article I forgot about that. I think we are still okay if we reference it later in the article. At some point I want to do some work on the article.

Kol tuv,

Ehav--EhavEliyahu 03:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] African Jew article

Hi, your edit on Ancient Jewish Communities [1] resulted in a sentence without a verb. Did you delete more than you intended? Regards, Fayenatic london 13:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I think I was in a hurry that day. Thanks.--EhavEliyahu 15:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome! Are you going to fix it? If not, I may revert your edit, but I presume you dispute some of the deleted text e.g. Igbos being described as Maghrebi Jewish, or claiming descent from Yemenite or Moroccan Jews. The link I gave above shows the full changes that you made. Fayenatic london
The last time I looked it seems like it was already changed. I looked today and it seems like someone already corrected it.--EhavEliyahu 04:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I just noticed exactly where the mistake was.--EhavEliyahu 04:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish Fighting Techniques

Need to do a few articles in this area.

[edit] Abir Article

--EhavEliyahu 17:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 02:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I noticed the Abir article has had the Peer review tag added but the proceedure not followed through. Do you need some help with that? I also see that you are still changing things but really, since peer review is not a pass or fail thing and it is expected that changes are made during the process, there really is no reason not to complete the proceedure.Peter Rehse 09:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I put that up before I moved. I think I will take it off for now. The Abir web-site may be changing soon with more complete information so I will wait for that to update and then send it through review. Thanks for mentioning it because I keep forgetting to take it down for now.--EhavEliyahu 02:15, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough - by the way I advise leaving messages on the users talk page then they are notified. Please don't forget to mention on the Martial arts project talk page when you do go for Peer Review. Cheers.Peter Rehse 02:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kapap

I have been working on the Abir exclusively, but I also need to work on the Kapap page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapap

It is suffering from unsourced material.--EhavEliyahu 17:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Need to remember to reference this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Funk_dance

[edit] Natan Gamedze

Shalom achi. I was just wondering about the Natan Gamedze article and since you seemed to be the one who has edited it the most, I was wondering if you could help me. First, do you have any idea when he was born, as the article looks kindof akward without it. Second, the article says that he converted in 1989 when I heard in an interview on his website from Israel National Radio that he converted in 1999. Finally is Natan his given name or the name he changed to when he converted? Thanks very much. Good luck with your language studies. Olockers 23:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. The information I put on the article is from little information I was able to find on him. His web-site only has a small amount of informaiton on it. In terms of when he converted I will have to go back to the two articles about him and see if I mis-typed it. I didn't find anything that gave a lot of information on his life before he converted. I met someone in Israel that knows him and they said he was a it of a private person.--EhavEliyahu 19:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC

[edit] hi אלי

I'm צ'כלברה, and I worte the hebrew aritcal on ABIR (as part of my own israeli hip-hop project). I see your english artical is much more comprehensive - maybe you can give me a hand and extand the hebrew one? he:משתמש:צ'כלברה 13:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello צ'כלברה yes I can help you with the Hebrew version. My spoken Hebrew is a lot better than my written, but I think I should be able to help you out. --EhavEliyahu 14:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phi Beta Sigma

Great job on the article. Just curious... why are you no longer an active member? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rashad1103 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks. In terms of your question. I am Jewish and a few years ago I decided I wanted to be more religious than I was previously. There are some issues with being religious as a Jew and being a part of something that has references to pagan deities and is connected to elements of Greek culture. Also, I will be moving to Israel soon. So essentially when I looked at my future and where my life was going there were certain things that I didn't see as a part of it, and Phi Beta Sigma was one of those things. I still have a lot of respect for the ideals and principles of the fraternity, and I am glad I joined it instead of the other frats, but it was time for me to move on. There are some other personal reasons, but that will have to remain personal for the moment.--EhavEliyahu 15:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the article contains rather long section on six members of the organization. I would suggest that you create wikipedia articles for these members and only provide a short sentence within the sigma article and then a link to the person article for those who want a detailed biography of the person. I have added this on the Phi Beta Sigma discussion page.--Ccson 16:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. I only worked to get the ball rolling on the article. I am going to be working on other things. Whatever changes you feel you need to make go ahead.--EhavEliyahu 18:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Eli -

I am a recent arrival in מעלה אדומים, and a friend of mine says he wants to contact you (or rather, he has friends who want to contact you). I would also like to. You can call me at 052-616-4229 or email me: ron@ronware.org .

[edit] Jewish Yemenite Cuisine

This might interest you...:Cuisine of the Sephardic Jews

here is what I suggested on the discussion page:

Yemanite Jews are neither Ashkenazim nor Sepharadim. Yemenites are their own unique Rite with separate customs and liturgies. I don't see why they haven't got their own section labeled: "Jewish Yemenite Cuisine" Lahouh, Salouf, chilbeh, Jahnoun, Kubaneh, Malawah, Zalabiya, Yemenite soup, Hawayj, Skhug etc... are all unique To Yemenite Jews and not to Sepharadim, so I don't understand what they are doing here. Their Cuisine is distinctive from that of both Askenazic and Sephardic cuisines. If there is anyone who would like to help create Jewish Yemenite Cuisine by moving various parts of this article and creating the new page let me know I would like to help.

--Elias19 22:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I haven't been working on many articles lately. Food is out of the range of my knowledge. I would have to leave that those more specialized in that area.--EhavEliyahu 03:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image muddle

Hi, can you help sort out Image:Berber Trade with Timbuktu 1300s.jpg, which has been uploaded several times with conflicting info?

  • Your upload on 2007-03-02 describes it as "Early photo of Berber trade with Timbuktu. From drawings out of the 1700s," but is named "Berber Trade with Timbuktu 1300s".
  • The current description on your pic is: "Caravan approaching Timbuktu in 1853 (from Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa by Prof. Dr. Heinrich Barth, vol. iv, London 1858)".
  • Another version, Image:TIMBUKTU-EINZUG.jpg agrees with this, giving "Author: unknown Source: Heinrich Barth, Reisen und Entdeckungen. Gotha 1858, vol. 4".
  • The caption at Heinrich Barth reads "Heinrich Barth approaching Timbuktu, Sept. 7th 1853". (Ignore the caption in the article on Timbuktu - I added that before realising the contradictions.)

Please comment on exactly what you know about this pic, and its original caption where you found it. Thanks, JackyR | Talk 17:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, pls make your comment at Image talk:Berber Trade with Timbuktu 1300s.jpg. Thanks, JackyR | Talk 18:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for your excellent, detailed reply. I was afraid Barth's book might have reused an earlier pic or be a generic impression, but it seems this really is a pic of Barth's actual caravan in 1853. I'll wait for a reply from the other uploader, then rationalise down to one version with a good file name on Commons. Thanks again, JackyR | Talk 15:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Permission for images

In response to several of many images you uploaded which have been listed as possibly unfree (see above), you responded (on WP:PUI):

I was given permission to use the photo by Grandmaster of Abir, Yehoshua Sofer who is in the picture and the owner of the picture. He can be contacted at yehoshua.sofer@gmail.com

However, private permission to "use" the photo is not sufficient in Wikipedia. First, we need permission not only to use, but also to distribute, copy, modify, and even sell (under the terms of the GFDL or similar) the photo. Second, we need to have the explicit statement from the author of image in order to know specifically what permission was granted. You need to contact the author of the image yourself and get this permission, and specifically report what you asked and what permission was given (in the author's exact words). See WP:COPYREQ for more information.

Otherwise, the images will likely be deleted. 03:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images from Phi Beta Kappa historical society

In response to several of the possibly unfree images (see above), you wrote (on WP:PUI):

Images used were from a CD I produced as a member of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Historical Society. You can contact Mark Pachich Curator of the Sigma Museum at mallet_pbs@hotmail.com.

The fact that you "produced" a CD with these images means little. The question is, who owns the copyright of the photos and why do you think we have permission to use them under the GFDL? The owner of the copyright is generally the original photographer or publisher of the image. Unless you are claiming that you personally took the image (which seems unlikely for old photos like Image:ETAlexander.jpg), this is not you.

[edit] WikiProject Beta Israel

Shalom Eliyahu,

Following your remarks at Talk:Beta Israel, I wonder if your friends that you have mentioned might be interested in contributing to WikiProject Beta Israel at the Hebrew Wikipedia. We could use any help available. Kol tuv, Lior (talk) 12:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
