Thank you, RK, for noticing that there is an article on the Netziv. I protest your added reference, which I duly removed. A reference is something that is referred to in the article body, not just slapped under an article to show that someone has written something about this great man. The title of the article you quote also sounds rather alarmist and/or partisan. JFW | T@lk 16:27, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
He was born into a family of Jewish scholars renowned for its scholarship. His father Jacob, while not being a rabbi, was a Talmudic scholar, and his mother was directly descended from Although initially a weak student, legend has it that he applied himself to his studies after overhearing his parents debating whether he should pursue a trade.
The sentence fragment highlighted is unfinished. His mother was directly descended from whom?? It just merges into the next sentence. Any help? The JE article has nothing helpful. --FeanorStar7 10:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It was inadvertedly deleted. I've restored it with material from old revisions. JFW | T@lk 19:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've added in the notion that the secular studies may have been more due to "Rusification" than Haskalah per se (or some combination of the two); this would also explain why the Volozhin yeshiva was singled out for this requirement. This can be heard on Rabbi Rakefet's lectures. (I assume that these lectures were the source for whomever added the "internal turmoil" reasoning? Yeyasher kochacha!)
Should we reference Rabbi JJ Schechter's article on the contraversy regarding the closing of the Yeshiva? Or is that going too partisan?
JJ Schechter is indeed quite partisan, but if he provides the sources for whatever you wanted to insert in the article then I see no reason why it should be kept out. I suppose Rabbi Rafeket bases himself on primary sources - could you identify these? JFW | T@lk 23:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Any Information on why he left the chovivei tzion? Influence on his son Rav Berlin,(later Bar Ilan). The article in many areas lacks sources Endabusenow 18:35, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
