[edit] Source
What is the source for this new biographical material? Fintor 19:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I posted a message on the anon's talk page User talk:69.115.119.92, but I doubt there will be an answer. (In case you were wondering- his IP indicates that he uses Optimum Online in Hicksville, NY). You can either add a {{fact}} after the added material or add {{unreferenced|date=August 2006}} to the top of the page or section. If you think that the added material is false, remove it.

Here is the answer. I knew him personally. The relationship with Rav Rosenfeld can be documented by checking the translation. His occupational history in his 20's is usually hidden by the haigiography approach to his life. Several of the early articles that he wrote have his own autobiography. The art work become some of his early covers and he discusses his pulpit rabbi year in one of his articles.
- BTW, do you know at what University he studied? Fintor 20:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- also, the name of the Conservative Shul? Fintor 20:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Editors should not delete his early life. Part of the reason for the deletion of the Hebrew article was that everyone now tells "wonder-tales" about him and makes him into a great scholar. None of which can stand in an encyclopedia. He was an interesting person with a complex past whose real biography has yet to be written. Leaving in the fragments will encourage people to start collecting his interesting life. --Jayrav 16:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hebrew Deletion
The deletionist Hebrew Wikipedia has put the Hebrew version of the Aryeh Kaplan article up for deletion. Once deleted it can probably never be written again. Anyone who has a significant Hebrew account there (you need 100 edits) should vote to keep; others can express dismay in the discussion; English is OK. Dovi 11:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dover NJ
Can you please add the name of the congregation in Dover NJ?--Jayrav 13:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I wish I could recall the name of the congregation. The building still stands but is not used as a Jewish synagogue anymore-- It's a church now (Founders Baptist, I believe). The address was 39 Orchard Street, between Legion and Chestnut/Second Street, just a stone's throw from St Orchard Cemetery.
As Tobie Kaplan was from the South-- Georgia? Alabama?-- I would expect Rabbi Kaplan went to college there, no?
