In response to the copyright violation assertion -- This edited article was originally from the Jewish Encyclopedia 1906, which is no longer under copyright, nor can it be replaced under copyright -- although the digitized version of the entire book can be copyrighted as a single database which may not be copied in its entirety in one fell swoop. This article is therefore not a copyright violation, and should be restored. AnotherBDA 02:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wikify[edit]

Needs someone to go through and add links, italics, etc. Would have been nice if the original contributer had done this. Perhaps they were in a rush...

Changes of 2015-09-13[edit]

  • The article lead claims that the article describes a static situation as of 1910, which is clearly not the case
  • Restored a nice list of shluchim that at some point had deleted. The version pasted back was fro revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Halukka&oldid=137420249
    • There may be better versions of the list in the historical record.
    • There may be other historical artifacts for this article worthy of re-inclusion.
  • The article goes off-topic
    • Other ways that First Century academies funded themselves
    • What does this excerpt mean, and what was it doing in section "Contracts with the Meshullah"
      • "Till the middle of the eighteenth century the management of the halukkah was entirely in the hands of the Sephardic community of the Holy Land, who were classed as (1) rich or dependent on their own relatives, (2) working men and employees, and (3) hakamim and scholars of the yeshibot."
      • I moved some of the subsequent text to section "General method of operation"
    • Section "Among Ashkenazim" veers off-topic into a tangential history lesson
      • Removed "The Ashkenazim at that time[when?] formed but a small minority of the Jewish community in Southern Syria. Rabbi Judah ha-Hasid of Siedlce, Poland, who with many followers emigrated to the Holy Land in 1701, was futile in his attempt to establish an Ashkenazi community in the Holy Land."
  • The section "Ottomans" had nothing to do with Ottomans
    • Maybe at some point in the revision history, it did
    • I moved most of its content to the section "General method of operation"
  • Performed a lot of re-writing and re-formatting
  • There needs to be a lot of sources cited; maybe contact the original authors for help?

Weren't they significant players in funding the halluksh, the kollelim, and the yeshivos? - Boruch Baum (talk) 12:47, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
