Article history

)

... that the first publication of prolific author Israel Ta-Shma, a scholar of Talmud, was a 1960 Jewish songbook for the Israel Defense Forces?

Source: Derovan, David (2007). "Ta-Shma, Israel Moses". In Berenbaum, Michael; Skolnik, Fred (eds.). Encyclopaedia Judaica. Vol. 19 (2nd ed.). Macmillan Reference USA, Keter Publishing House. p. 525. "first publication was a religious song book for IDF soldiers (1960) issued by the Chief Rabbinate of the IDF."

Comment: His academic accomplishments are genuine but a bit hard to explain in a hook for a general audience. Of course, I will write ALT hooks if desired.

Did some courtesy tidying, but the article looks swell. Hook is interesting (at least to me, a guy who like liturgical books). Hook is cited appropriately in the article, though I had to go in and make sure the quote was attributed appropriately inline. QPQ done. I also reviewed the article for NPP, so that's fun. Anyhow, great work! Sorry you had to wait so long. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a lede to short tag, and I'm seeing one unformatted / bare URL. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:36, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback and the tag, Chris Woodrich. I've fixed the bare URL and added three sentences to the lede -- here's the diff. Please let me know if that suffices for the tag (and the DYK). Cheers, ProfGray (talk) 03:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Reinstating tick. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements to make

It'd be great to see the bibliography improved, separate books from book chapers and articles, and figure out which articles to include.

It'd help to elaborate on some of his studies. Also, can we identify him as a historian or some other recognizable disciplines? ProfGray (talk) 18:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
