@Buidhe: thank you for the review. Why are you approving it if you disagree with the wording? I changed palatial to "towering" in the article, as per the source, but I am having trouble using this term in the hook. Putting it in quotes will also distract from the hook. The campus is at least a block square, though I have not found a source to verify this, and it really is palatial–my photograph shows only the front, while the building climbs higher and higher to the rear. Yoninah (talk) 23:41, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, if it's mentioned in a source I think it would be ok. Since you didn't use the word in the article, I had assumed that was not the case. buidhe 23:49, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
@Buidhe: I'll try to look for a source in Hebrew to verify the size and shape. Yoninah (talk) 23:58, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @Buidhe: I'm unable to find more information in Hebrew sources. Would you like me to suggest another hook? Yoninah (talk) 21:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, I think that would be best. buidhe 21:54, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that Rabbi Reuven Elbaz used to frequent pool halls and coffee shops around Jerusalem to talk with secular Jewish youth about religion? Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT1 accepted. I'm not watching the page so I didn't notice the update. buidhe 02:11, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
