  • Firstly: as the article is now, it is more or less a direct copy of "Jewish Virtual Library". How about copyrights?
  • Secondly: the article certainly reflects its origin (="Jewish Virtual Library"). There is little about the serious disagreement he had with leading zionists. Regards, Huldra 13:07, 19 March 2006 (UTC)Reply


Plus: There is something quite wrong here: in this article, it states that Judah Leon Magnes was "the president of the Society for the Advancement of Judaism from 1912 to 1920".....but in the article on the Society for the Advancement of Judaism it says that it was founded in 1922?! What is correct?? Regards, Huldra 07:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Converted to orthodoxy?

edit

In Barry Chamish` essay "Pope's Zionist Sabbateans" there's a quote from David Morrison's 1999 book Heroes, Antiheroes And The Holocaust which reads: "Judah Magnes confessed without provocation that in Berlin he had been converted to Orthodoxy and he knew Theodore Herzl." (p. 39). __meco (talk) 17:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

It might interest you to know that Rabbi Magnes was one of the founders of Young Israel, (as well as the first speaker) which today is an Orthodox synagogue movement. (See my note on the talk page regarding the mistakes in the history section there, another bit of nonsense from the "Jewsih Virtual Library".) According to my history of Young Israel, Rabbi Magnes actually lost his position because he objected to the intermarriage of one of his temple's leaders. Has anyone heard anything about this?
By the way, he literally packed the house in that speech.Mzk1 (talk) 19:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

One of the paragraphs about Magnes and Zionism makes no sense

edit

"he strongly disapproved of the denationalization of Judaism, which Zionism represented and supported" - This makes little sense, for one of the key points of Zionism is to view the Jewish people as a nation! This is the opposite of "denationalization," as far as I can tell. There are a few other sentences in the paragraph which also don't make sense for similar reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calc rulz (talkcontribs) 20:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
