Opinion needed on Jewish atheism

Feedback welcome: Talk:Jewish_atheism#Discussion_regarding_the_return_of_an_important_description_of_the_influence_of_Ayn_Rand's_atheistic_views. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 14:50, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zzzzz! But I recently noticed that Secular Jew goes to a redirect page, from which the leading link is to Jewish secularism, a lengthy & no doubt good article about philosophical debates, mostly in the 19th & early 20th centuries, which I had never heard of, and I suspect most secular Jews never have either (I'm not one). Really material, probably in its own article, is needed on the topic today, and not just in the US & Israel please. Johnbod (talk) 15:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish secularism is indeed in a terrible shape... a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 16:22, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect it's ok on the slice of Jewish/Zionist history it covers, but is completely useless for covering the wider topic of secular Jews. Nor does anything else on the disam page seem any better. Johnbod (talk) 02:57, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

like most things Jewish, Jewish secularism is both very old and there are also tons of contemporary developments within. There is also a large body of material about it which largely, as Johnbod says, appears to be absent from Wikipedia, much like many other topics Jewish and non-. The bulk of material on modern-day secular Judaism or Jewish atheism, but really secular Jewish culture, should probably talk about Yiddishkeit and the Jewish immigrant experience (or better title), I think the work of Hasia Diner would be relevant to start with.[1] Andre🚐 03:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CFD Discussion regarding Jewish legal scholars

There is a discussion under way regarding two Categories I recently created for Jewish legal scholars, which have been nominated for deletion. I don't know why this WikiProject wasn't notified. In any event, please join the discussion. Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 15:05, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has been continued, "relisted," and it remains relevant to this Wikiproject. (Admittedly, the relisting is due to a suggestion that I made.) See: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 September 30#Category:Jewish American legal scholars Thank you. ProfGray (talk) 03:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
