Not very succesful ORCOTW so far. Do any of us happen to have some of his responsa? Maybe that person could translate and post here some notable teshuvos? --Daniel575 02:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Let's parse this old junk to death. I don't trust the old Jewpedia. Killed by cannotshot? An encyclopedia can't possibly be a source, can it? I am sure we can't source it from elsewhere, so this stuff will mostly have to go. And the whole Chayyun business deserves maybe 2 lines. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Disagree, I think it's better than nothing. Might as well keeep it the way it is rather than delete it all. I found it an interesting read the first time I read it, but I don't have anything to add either. Maybe in the future we should focus on more notable rabbonim - people about whom more information can be found. --Daniel575 02:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The 100 year old juicy biographical details are 1. irrelevant, 2. possibly fake, and 3. non-confirmable in the usual wiki way. He's way notable on his accomplishments as a rabbi, which is why we're here, not because of cannonshot etc. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Source for Velké Meziříčí Birth?

An anon editor entered that the birth location was "most likely,Velké Meziříčí". Does anyone have a source for this?
