"s/he"

I hate it. Can "s/he" just be replaced with "they"? It's silly and uncommon. UlyssesYYZ (talk) 23:13, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

It's not uncommon. It was the way gender neutral text was written until ~10 years ago, when woker methods were introduced. 2A00:A040:197:1220:650F:2966:16BE:E53 (talk) 21:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

'woker'? Also I think you're confusing it with "she/he". UlyssesYYZ (talk) 13:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

In this phrase:

interpretations of Halacha received

please change "Halacha" to "halakha". Every other appearance of this word in this article uses "h" and "k", rather than "H" and "c". 123.51.107.94 (talk) 03:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Done, this also matches the wiki page title. Jamedeus (talk) 21:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Edit request: Patrol 35 -> Patrol 36

'Patrol 35' should be replaced with 'Patrol 36' Red190 (talk) 08:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

This was discussed here previously (i.e. it makes sense to fix this typo): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2013_March_5 DONAL HUNT (talk) 10:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Controversy -- Contemporary Jewish populations do not share a common ancestor

Please add this to Controversy section --

Contemporary Jewish populations do not share a common ancestor

The summary trend in the population genetics literature is that the contemporary Jewish community has no single ancestral center but rather is formed of heterogeneous, geographically dispersed sources. Despite the presumptive language used in a few of the scientific papers, the genetic data collectively point not to a singular Levantine origin or a Khazar diminution but instead to a mosaic of Western Asia and autochthonous European sources for modern Jewish populations, one which includes Anatolian, Persian, Slavic, and circum-Mediterranean components, including the Levant, and with a very strong case for conversion to Judaism by autochthonous European women (Costa et al. 2013). The autosomal, sex chromosomal, and mtDNA study by Zoosmann-Diskin (2010) and the admixture history study of Xue et al (2017) together reinforce both the Mediterranean area (specifically Italy) as a possible geographic locus for European Jewish ethnogenesis, and the fact that the various contemporary Jewish populations do not share a common ancestor.

Please change "In 2024, Leo Franks, a Jewish Briton who was in the process of applying for Israeli citizenship, had his application closed and his deportation from the country ordered by the Interior Ministry after joining protests in the West Bank by an anti-settlement organization" to:

In 2024, Leo Franks, a Jewish Briton who was in the process of applying for Israeli citizenship, had his citizenship application closed and his deportation from the country ordered by the Ministry of the Interior. This came after he was arrested at an anti-war protest in Jerusalem and after having been detained twice in the West Bank, once when accompanying Palestinian shepherds and once when "filming settler violence against Palestinians". Franks interpreted his deportation and denial of citizenship as a change to the Law of Return, saying to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency: "the courts have given the Ministry of Interior free rein to make decisions about who can be a Jew in Israel on the basis of his politics". The lead editorial of both the English and Hebrew editions of the Israeli broadsheet Haaretz made the same claim about the political significance of Franks' case, titling the English-language version of the editorial as "Only the Right Jews Can Make Aliyah in Today's Increasingly Undemocratic Israel".

The original edit does not make clear the significance of the case with Franks with regard to the wider Law of Return article, and, moreover, it seems to be incorrect, as the source cited in the original edit (JTA) does not say that Franks had joined "protests in the West Bank by an anti-settlement organization".
