Cyrillic edit

Shiurim in cyrillic?!?!? Cyrillic is an alphabet not a language! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.60.131 (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Shira -

Thank you for filling in the Gush article that I started. The content is very good, but most of it is also kind of POV and sounds more like a brochure than an encyclopedia article. If I have time, I will try to edit the article to make it more encyclopedic.

I changed "liberation" to "capture." It was the most neutral term I could come up with; anyone would agree that Gush Etzion was captured. Also, this (re)conquest of Gush Etzion took place during the Six Day War, not after.

Wikipedia Pages for ramim edit

I don't think every ram needs to be red-linked. Only the roshei yeshiva and figures well known outside the yeshiva should be, as the others will most likely not have articles written for them anytime soon (at least not on the english wikipedia site). But seeing as this could impinge on someone's כבוד, it's best if I don't do it. -שמואל —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.115.90.98 (talk) 16:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Non-encyclopedic writing style edit

Sorry, but alot of the article reads like a promotional brochure, and not like a neutral encyclopedia article. For example, the second paragraph reads: "YHE has a faculty of renowned Torah scholars whose diverse styles, backgrounds and approaches complement one another in an effort to create an open and challenging environment for students. The Rabbeim serve as exceptional role models who view themselves as mentors striving to imbue students with passionate, authentic, rational, and religiously intense lifestyle." There are several other places where this occurs, including the entire "values" section. While this language is great for the yeshiva website, it does not belong in an encyclopedia article. שמואל —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.115.90.98 (talk) 16:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Modern Orthodox? edit

Their essays and shiurim appear to be very Modern Orthodox, a conscious difference from Haredi Orthodoxy. But the article presently doesn't quite indicate the stance of the school of such issues. Looking at their VBM it appears to be at least as modern Orthodox as RIETS at Yeshivah University, and the RCA (Rabbinical Council of America.) Considering the shift to the right at RIETS and the RCA over the last generation, might it be fair to say that Yeshivat Har Etzion is decidedly modern Orthodox, as opposed to the more "right" Centrist Orthodox? Is any significant part of Yeshivat Har Etzion as open as Open Orthodoxy? What kind of teachings do they have about Masorti Judaism? Do any of their faculty have any cooperation with non-Orthodox Judaism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.63.98 (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
