I am surprised that Geffen's notability is in question and want to help fix this situation. He is perhaps one of the most notable Israeli writers, and I'm sure most literate and even illiterate Israeli adults are familiar with (some of) his work.

The Hebrew version of this entry contains more information about the subject, but it doesnt appear to be much better in terms of citing sources, so I am not sure if a translation would help.

Also, I suspect the subject's apparent anonymity may be the result of the author choosing an uncommon spelling of his name - the spelling Jonathan Geffen yields many more relevant results on Google than Yehonatan Geffen, so perhaps the entry should be renamed.

I took the liberty of removing the notability warning. Yonatan Geffen is one of the major Israeli writers and political activists of the past 30 years. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if he isn't well-known in the English-speaking world, surely Wikipedia is meant to help change that? AllenHansen (talk) 06:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Nahalal is a moshav, not a kibbutz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sreifa01 (talk • contribs) 10:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
