... that Rabbi Reuven Elbaz, who started a yeshiva with 14 boys in a two-room apartment, built a palatial campus (pictured) in Jerusalem that now has over 500 students? Source: "Rav Reuven started off with 14 boys in a two-room apartment...a towering, albeit unfinished, headquarters in the heart of Jerusalem's central haredi neighborhood of Bukharim...Today, Yeshivat Ohr Hachaim's main campus has more than 350 bachurim and about 200 kollel yungeleit".

@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, 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)
