Nice to see a page on me, but my name is spelled wrong: The first name ends in AN not ON: Yonassan Gershom. Somebody please correct this in the title. I fixed it in the article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Rooster613 (talk • contribs)

Added a line about my book project with Dr. Richard H. Schwartz -- not out of personal vanity, but to link back to the Schwartz page where it is now mentioned. This project was announced in the JVNA newsletter by Dr. Schwartz and me and is now public knowledge. I also edited this page slightly to clarify that it is the reincarnation books that discuss the Holocaust karma theory, since I have written on other topics besides reincarnation. (The Star Trek commentary is due to come out this year and the one Schwartz and I are working on is about vegetarianism and environmental issues. I realize that I'm best known for reincarnation projects but that is not the only thing I write on. Rooster613 20:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Rooster613

The source for the antiwar activity info is his website and his ebook I added to the pub list. This includes articles from The American Jewish World, The Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs, plus various Minneapolis neighborhood newspapers published during the 1970s and 80s.

RE: "anti-Semitism" vs "anti-Zionism" edits to the description of the Bailey article link, "anti-Semitism" is correct. The article has nothing to do with Israel or Zionism, it is about Alice Bailey's theology relating to Jews & the Holocaust, and is more in the genre of Jewish-Christian-NewAge debate.

[edit] Why the law project?

I am rather mystified as to why this article should be included in the law project. Yonassan Gershom is neither a secular lawyer nor a recognized expert in Jewish law. The article does not discuss legal issues, either. Explain your reasoning, please??? Rooster613 15:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Removed the law project tag, since I just realized I can do so and, as stated above, it was irrelevant to this article. If somebody else wants it back, fine, but please explain why. 64.61.202.78 (talk) 11:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
