• Look, there must be hundreds of "citation needed" signs all over the place which refer to stuff clearly stated in the Talmud(Gemora). Can't anyone see if they can sort them all out??? i'm new here so i don't know if there's a specific list, nut they pop up all over the place - for instance, there's no source for the messiah cited! NOTE: As far as the issur of disseminating the talmud is concerned (which is a legitimate concern for orthodox jews) as far as i know it is the 'learning' of talmud that is ossur, not the teaching of facts.--79.177.58.51 (talk) 13:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

• Criticism of Moses: the article could use some counterpoints, like most other criticism articles have in some form or another, as right now it is simply a list of criticisms.-- g.j.g (talk) 21:30, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

• Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Allegations for his Jewishness are not well sourced and there is a stormy discussion on the aritcle's talk page whether to refer to his alleged Jewish background in the aritcle body. It was previously included in special ethnicity entry in the infobox and in the lead and early life paragraph.--Gilisa (talk) 10:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• Maimonides : The "Philosophy" paragraph contain correct data but with no citations. It's not too much work I guess.--Gilisa (talk) 16:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

• Jewish and Biblical Units of Measurement or some such name, to include material of Ancient Hebrew units of measurement but also Talmudic units and use in Halacha (a la the Hebrew Wikipedia article he:מידות ומשקלות תורניים)

• The Twelve Spies (or some other name) to deal with the scouts sent by Moses and their significance.

• Book of Ezekiel - Why is there no discussion of some of the most famous and perplexing passages in the entire Hebrew Bible? Ezekiel complained about people burning their children to death. "And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?" (Ezek. 16:20-21) The Book of Ezekiel then states that God purposely gave bad laws which discouraged life and, by some interpretations, these laws led the people to believe that they should offer gifts of their first born by fire. This contradicts the text of the Torah as we know it, and all of Jewish and Christian interpretation of it. Nonetheless, Ezekiel talks about this as a point of view apparently accepted as truthful by at least some major segment of the population. See the discussion page for my start on this.

• Jewish community in Montreal or whatever the appropriate title would be. There is a good base at Demographics_of_Montreal#Jewish, but I can't see a stand-alone article, and the number and cultural influence, esp 1930-1990, would justify one. There are lots of interesting people; I added the obvious Mordecai Richler and Naomi Klein.

Jewish mythology - needs to be rewritten to be inline with our other mythology articles.
Three Oaths - needs a serious cleanup, and should be rewritten with reliable sources, avoiding primary sources and original research (which are currently the main sources used in the article, leading to disagreement in interpretation).

Yom Ha'atzmaut - quite short for an article of such importance
