  • ... that the fourth Radomsker Rebbe, founder of a Hasidic yeshiva network in pre-war Poland, paid for the education of over 4,000 students, including staff salaries, food, and student lodging, out of his own pocket?

  • Review of Radomsk - Date and length look good. Lots of references. Spot-check for close paraphrase done on the four most-used refs, some duplicated three- and four-word phrases, but nothing of note. Very informative, perhaps change/clarify "hasidut" in the third sentence of the lede, not clear to non-Jewish reader. Will try review second article and hook later on, other reviewers feel free to finish this off, though. The Interior (Talk) 19:24, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • I changed "Hasidut" to "dynasty". Yoninah (talk) 18:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Review of Kesser Torah Radomsk - Meets the general requirements. Again, a few religious terms that should be clarified for the gentile reader - "hasidut" in first para of "Establishment.." section, "tractate" in fifth para of same section. Second sentence of that section, "Thousands of shtiebelach (small houses of prayer and study) in which Hasidic youth traditionally learned the customs and lore of their Hasiduts were destroyed", should have a reference. Otherwise looking good. The Interior (Talk) 22:13, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. I added the reference. I also changed "Hasidut" to "dynasty" and provided a more commonly-used (in yeshivas) Aramaic word and translation for "tractate". (Maybe I'll write a page for Tractate next.) Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Go for it! Both hooks verified, I prefer ALT 1, punchier. The Interior (Talk) 00:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
