The DYK is rather ruined by the fact that Tzvia Greenfeld was the first female Haredi MK a few years ago (Tzvia Greenfield: Peace Activist, Leftist, Israel's First Female Haredi MK (Haaretz), Tzvia Greenfield, the first haredi woman to serve in the Knesset (Jerusalem Post), Tzvia Greenfeld ran on the Meretz party list in 2008, becoming the first female ultra-Orthodox Knesset member (Times of Israel)) and the fact that there was an entire list of female Haredi candidates (U'Bizchutan) that participated in the 2015 elections (Israel's First Ever ultra-Orthodox Women’s Party Makes Bold Debut Haaretz)... It seems some journalists have very short memories. Number 57 22:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
- Greenfeld's article was also a DYK feature back in 2008 under the line "... that Tzvia Greenfeld is the first Haredi woman to serve as a member of the Knesset?" Number 5 7 22:28, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Number 57: wow, you know your stuff. Thanks for fixing up the article. I'll suggest a new hook. Yoninah (talk) 22:31, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
- Alternatively, I've wasted far too much time on here in the last decade or so... Number 5 7 08:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that newly elected Israeli Knesset member Omer Yankelevich (pictured) was named for the Jewish holiday of Lag BaOmer, her birthday? Source: "was named ‘Omer’ because she was born on Lag B’Omer" (Yeshiva World News) Yoninah (talk) 13:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Date request: Please run on May 23 (Lag BaOmer). Yoninah (talk) 17:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Ready for review. Yoninah (talk) 10:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Interesting career + 5 children! on good sources, Hebrew sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and quite stunning! - Do us who are not familiar with the calendar a favour and tell us how the holiday is on 23 May this year, if only to pass ERRORS, can be dropped after the DYK. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! The Hebrew date of 18 Iyar begins after dark on the night of May 22 and continues through sunset on May 23 this year. See the Lag BaOmer page on Wikipedia, or this source: Hebrew Calendar. Yoninah (talk) 21:27, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

OK, just be prepared to have to reply the same on 22 May. Guess what, I looked in the (long) article but not in the infobox ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:46, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: It doesn't belong in the Omer Yankelevich article, right? So I'm supposed to watch ERRORS or something?

Could you please move this to the special occasions holding area? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Always a good idea to watch ERRORS and ERRORS2 from the day before. Moved to special. Working on the one for 22 May. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
