Zev Leff vs. Peacock
[edit]My mistake in my "Condense" edit is that I didn't read the ORIGINAL material at http://www.rabbileff.net/about.htm.
What got me to do so is what I saw at http://libibamizrach.com/?page_id=18 and I decided to read the original.
The part about the one year contract, without knowing about Rabbi Gifter, was hard to deal with until I saw the "ABOUT" item.
The late right wing R'Mordechai Gifter was a close student of Yeshiva University's late Rabbi Moshe Aharon Poleyeff. Rabbi Poleyeff was a supporter of "going out there" and that's why I find the story believable about Miami's Young Israel. Young Israels insist on having an Orthodox rabbi before they get the legal charter to use the name from NCYI. That he signed for one year only after asking Rabbi Gifter sounds like a good fit to the statement that he was close to Rav Gifter.
His "supervising" of the dorm, even if it sounds true, needs a source - someone who graduated from there needs to support it. The one year contract part rings true to the Young Israel story, and could be sourced from back issues of Young Israel Viewpoint magazine -- and would not at all be PEACOCK.
Please identify what you find needs more "condensing" - for now, I find the PEACCOCK tag as unsupported. Pi314m (talk) 09:54, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Notability
[edit]I think this rabbi is not notable, and if anybody ever Afd this article, please let me know. Debresser (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- I have added refs and eliminated the dead links. Yoninah (talk) 22:03, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
"mora d'asra"
[edit]"where he became the Rav and mora d'asra"
The correct transliteration is "mara d'asra" -- not "mora". Toddcs (talk) 14:54, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Fixed. In Askenazic pronunciation would be "moro" anyway. I think people confuse it with Hebrew "moreh." GordonGlottal (talk) 17:08, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
