Not according to but what is called

Pinchas: Even the Nusach Ari article says it is called Nusach Ari but isn't actually Nusach Ari. To quote: "The Ari and his immediate disciples did not themselves publish any prayer book." 210.84.40.154 23:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

It is 'according to' not 'is' --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 23:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Nusach Ari is not the Nusach of the Ari. It is what Chabad calls Nusach Ari. 210.84.40.154 00:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Again, as Pinchas said, Chabad does not claim that it is the actual nusuch of the Ari, but that it is *based on* that nusach.Yehoishophot Oliver 04:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Oliver, so you agree with me that it is CALLED Nusach Ari and not according to nusach ari. 203.217.41.188 10:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
What is so difficult to understand? The AR's nusach is על פי נוסח אר"י - according to the nusach of the ARI. That is how it has been described since the first printing. If you have a point you'll have to make it much more explicit. Zsero 18:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Wife 1

As far as I know, Sterna outlived the Alter Rebbe and is buried in Lubavitch, why then the term Wife 1? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.128.42 (talk) 01:34, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Good point. I've edited Template:Infobox Rebbe to fix this. The number 1 now only appears after "Wife" and "Issue" if there is a second wife (see, e.g., Shmuel Schneersohn). Zsero 01:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Quote from Dershowitz

In this article it says

Alan Dershowitz argues that Rabbi Shneur Zalman believed that suffering was good for the Jews. Suffering would inspire asceticism and bolster the Hasidic cause.

I concede that Alan Dershowitz is a person of note. However, he has no mandate to express an opinion on matters of Hasidism, of which he knows next to nothing. He is a professor of law, not religion. Although he has made a name for himself as a commentator on Jewish life in his books, the books are all centred around secular issues. I propose that this paragraph be deleted from here, and also from the controversies of Chabad article, where it is reproduced. Dershowitz is entitled to his opinion on the matter, but his fame doesn't make that opinion notable. --Yehoishophot Oliver (talk) 02:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
