Non-printable characters

edit

This article contains some non alphabetic characters that should be transliterated into pure alphabetics as best as possible. Wjhonson 04:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

that is a problem with almost all articles that are taken from the jewish encyclopedia. The all require a lot of cleanup. Jon513 15:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Translation of Kenesset

edit

The word kenesset in "Anshei Kenesset Hagadol" has been translated in many different ways in this article. I believe that the translation "Synagogue" is wrong. In English the word implies a building. Assembly seems to work well; I have also seen synod used. Phil burnstein (talk) 10:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Minian * 12 tribes

edit

Just a thought if you can source it correctly, but a straightforward read on where the 120 number came from is 10, the minian, times the sons of Israel. This is just food for research thought though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.219.233 (talk) 00:00, 11 May 2009 (UTC)Reply


Dates

edit

Is not clear to me when they assembled. Is it from around 200 b.c.e to 70 c.e.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.195.86.157 (talk) 03:35, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not a duplicate. This was a distinct institution, as well as the namesake of the moder Knesset.Icewhiz (talk) 20:20, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
