Talk:Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhin

Now that the page has been expanded into a proper biography of a major Hasidic Rebbe, I would like to suggest that the page be renamed Yisroel Friedman of Ruzhyn, in keeping with the ongoing practice of naming pages with Hebrew rather than Anglicized names – e.g. Yitzchok Friedman (his grandson), Mordechai Shlomo Friedman (his great-grandson), and many other Rebbes (e.g. Aharon Rokeach of Belz, Shmuel Bornsztain of Sochatchov, Shlomo Chanoch Rabinowicz of Radomsk).

Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 21:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply] @Dpmuk, Chesdovi, Yoninah, and -- -- --: The page on the Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue states, quoting from the Jerusalem Municipality website [1], that it was "named after Rabbi Yisroel of Ruzhin", with no further explanation.

Thanks and cheers, Arminden (talk) 07:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] I see the article states that he did not write any books, but that his sayings and teachings have been recorded by Ruzhiner Hasidim and biographers.

All else is just meant to confuse the WP user.Arminden (talk) 07:53, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] The synagogue was named 'Tiferet Yisrael' after Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhin, who even donated the money to buy the plot on the site, And according to the Biblical verse: "Alas!

The Lord in His wrath Has shamed Fair Zion, Has cast down from heaven to earth The majesty of Israel.

)[1]I assume that the source for the use of Tiferet תפארת in such a context is Mishlei 17:6 עֲטֶרֶת זְקֵנִים בְּנֵי בָנִים וְתִפְאֶרֶת בָּנִים אֲבוֹתָם.2A01:6500:A037:6BF8:D202:66A5:9008:C8AD (talk) 08:15, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply] @תנא קמא:, hi.

And you cannot remove "dubious" tags unless you give an explanation IN THE ARTICLE, one that ADDRESSES THE QUESTION.

Thanks and cheers, Arminden (talk) 17:52, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] I started a discussion about the translation of Tiferet HERE.

Alternatively, Yoninah explained to me that there is a possibility that the rabbi is named by his hasidim "Tiferet Israel" as a honorific title, maybe after some sermon he called this way (he didn't write books).

But it never occurred to me that the synagogue's name is meant to signify "The splendour of Israel Friedman".
