Talk:Judah ha-Nasi

message: I don't know, maybe this is just a really crazy coincidence, but I've seen Jesus' name in the Hebrew (one version) translate as "Yeshua Ha-Nasi (or Ha-Notsri/Ha-Nozri/Ha-Nosri)", so
Yeshua Ha-Nosri
Judah haNasi
Also, "Yeshua" is an old form of "Joshua".
If anyone can tell me if I'm really wrong, and it's just a really weird coincidence (probably is, but...), please tell me. I'm at WAS 03:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no connection, coincidental or otherwise. "ha-Nasi" means "the prince", so it could be applied to any number of individuals. Jesus' appellation "ha-Nosri" (really, "ha-Notzri") means simply "from Nazareth". the two phrases don't sound particularly similar in Hebrew . Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 16:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Nasi means, leader or prince and Notsri means chirstian, in Hebrew. Im not would sure what your aims are with this comparison. Of these two very differnet historical figures, who lived one hundred years apart from one another.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.114.91.226 (talk) 08:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The one in the picture is the so-called "Cave of the Coffins", not far from R. Judah's and with a very similar facade, but distinct from that one. Replace picture if you have access to the correct one. ArmindenArminden (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Ambiguous pronoun. This run-on sentence needs improvement:
:In his youth he had close relations with most of the great students of Akiba; and as their student and in converse with other prominent men who gathered about his father at Usha and later at Shefar'am, he laid the foundations of that wide scholarship which enabled him to undertake his life-work, the redaction of the Mishnah.
In the above, I can't tell if "their" is an anaphoric pronoun referring to "the great students of Akiba" or if it is a cataphoric pronoun referring to the prominent men who gathered around his father. Replacing this with two or three declarative sentences would improve readability. Also, there is no reference that I can refer to to help understand with whom Judah ha-Nasi studied.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by A.T.S. in Texas (talk • contribs) 00:50, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The style as is looks to me pretty old and stale anyhow, so I'd say go ahead and improve the whole paragraph as you suggest. As for the missing source about "the great students of Akiba," it would have to be found somewhere. Maybe starting from the Rabbi Akiva page something about the subject could be found. I will also move this new section to the bottom of the page, where it should have been put to begin with. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 01:02, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the encouragement. After reading further into the article, I realized that much of what the original writer was trying to say is referenced in the next section pertaining to Judah ha-Nasi's teachers ("His teachers"). The final paragraph of "Youth" serves as an introduction to the list of teachers, so I simply cleaned up the paragraph to make it more readable and a better transition to the next section.

replies: text: Thanks for investing some work on it. It is certainly better than it was. If you see other opportunities for improvement, feel free to try your hand at it. I will be seeing your edits, and I will comment on them if I have enough time. Thanks, warshy (¥¥) 19:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

message: I removed the category tag "Founder of religion" because there is no evidence that I know of that Judah ha-Nasi founded a new religion. Happy to be corrected if anyone has evidence to support that cagetory tag. Commontater (talk) 03:59, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
