Etz Hayyim Inaccuracies

Etz Hayyim is a work that Haim Vital wrote and published in his own life and that was later emended by the Tzemach when he added information included in extant notes that had been omitted from the published text into the published forms of the text, the text was later re-edited by the Beit El Hevra to include the commentaries of Rabbi Shalom Sharabi, with a verifiable publishing history through the Library of Congress and Israeil Antiquities authority. The work here named as Etz Hayyim is actually the Shiviim Dafim or Mehudra Kamma. It seems that where much of the current information came from is a faulty source found on a Kabbalistic/Hassidic website. Where it also claims the the Beit El Hevra was instrumental in the publication of the Mehudra Kamma, the only problem is that the Beit El Hevra did not exist for another 200 years by which time the Eight Gates were in publication and had the emmandations by the Tzemach written in including the things that were found in the Mehudra Kamma that was were not found in the final publication of the Eight Gates by Shmuel Vital. So I would like to recommend an editorial change if there is a consensus. הרב המקובל אלכהן (talk) 18:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No need to wait. If you have good sources, make the changes. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 20:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinian rabbi

I intend to add he was a Palestinian rabbi to the lead, as the category has been removed by Debresser. Chesdovi (talk) 10:55, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See Category talk:16th-century Palestinian rabbis that such an edit is rejected by many editors. If Chesdovi will make such an edit, he will therefore be reverted forthwith. In addition, he is WP:FORUMSHOPPING here, so please leave your comments at the discussion I linked to. Debresser (talk) 11:23, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
