[edit] Hebrew naming conventions

Urgent: see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew) to add your opinions about this important matter. Thank you. IZAK 18:05, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] {{Torah portion}}

FYI: (1) The weekly Torah reading on Shabbat and on Monday and Thursday mornings in all synagogues is based on that week's Parsha (Torah portion). (2) The template {{Torah portion}} is at the bottom of the Torah reading article's page, so essentially it's part of the "See also" section which is a legitimate way of connecting related and connected topics on an article. (3) If a reader finds the {{Torah portion}} to be "too intrusive" then any reader is free to click "Hide" on the top right section of the template's heading which shrinks it to an unobtrusive one liner. Finally, (4) the {{Torah portion}} is presently diligently updated weekly by User:Dauster early each Sunday so that any readers may learn more about the weekly Parsha. User:Dauster summarizes each week's Parsha and adds some interesting graphics which surely adds life and color to a page that may gain the attention of readers who don't know much about this subject and may want to learn more. Please refer all further comments and discussions to one centralized location at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Template: Torah portion Thank you. IZAK 09:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Identifying a Kohen or Levite

Suggest that info about Kohen and Levite names go in their respective articles. Seems a bit peripheral to this Torah reading article. --Shirahadasha 23:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2 Aliyot?

Technically aren't there only 2 aliyot on Tisha B'Av morning and afternoon as well as the afternoon of minor fast days and Yom Kippur? Instead of a third aliyah we have a maftir, which like Shabbat and Yom Tov mornings, doesn't count toward the number of Aliyot. Anyone agree or disagree with that statement? --Valley2city^₪‽ 18:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Triennial cycle

Good stuff here[1] but a blog not suitable as an article reference. Has a good summary of the US history of this. Kaisershatner 13:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
