[edit] Date of death

"Rabbi Sholom Dovber Schneersohn passed away on 2 of Nisan 1920 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia"

2 Nisan 1920? Surely that would be thousands of years ago... Matthew Platts 02:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

"where he lived until his passing on 2 Nissan 5680, and where he was buried." What does this mean is this correct I don't understand this, is this an actual unit of time if not could someone change it, even if it is I doubt the majority of viewers understand what this means. It looks like vandalism to meJamespoky (talk) 22:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

It's the date of his death. The user above complained about a previous version that said 2 Nisan 1920, which would indeed have been thousands of years ago, so I fixed it. -- Zsero (talk) 03:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dov Ber

These are two separate names - Dov Ber (Dov is Hebrew for Bear, which is transcribed as Ber in Yiddish). The name of the article should be changed accordingly.--Gilabrand (talk) 10:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope. It's one name, spelled דובער. That may not seem logical, but there's nowt so queer as folks. -- Zsero (talk) 12:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
