Accuracy of Isaac Shalom’s Role in Community Preservation

Hello, The current "Criticism" section in the Isaac Shalom article presents a single opinion that directly contradicts well-documented historical accounts of Shalom’s role in preserving Sephardic traditions and building the Brooklyn Syrian Jewish community. Shalom was a founder of Magen David Yeshivah, an institution specifically created to maintain Sephardic heritage at a time when few alternatives existed. Reliable sources confirming this include: ImageUSA: Isaac Shalom A”H and Other Community Members Who Helped Establish MDY New York Times Obituary for Isaac Shalom (1968), which highlights his leadership in communal and educational affairs. In light of these sources, I recommend that the article be revised to reflect the broader historical record. I welcome input from other editors. Thank you.

I agree that the “Criticism” section should either be significantly revised or removed altogether to better reflect stronger historical documentation outlining his leadership in preserving Sephardic traditions. Without reliable sourcing, the section does not meet Wikipedia’s standards and should likely be removed. 2603:7000:9D00:5270:A881:C021:BF71:E4B8 (talk) 21:41, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,

I’ve prepared a revised version of the Isaac Shalom article that restores previously removed material and expands on his communal and philanthropic work with fully cited sources. The draft includes updated sections on his leadership in Brooklyn, the founding of Magen David Yeshivah, and the global reach of Ozar Hatorah.

You can view the proposed version here: User:Aveen20/sandbox

Sources include the New York Times, Jewish Virtual Library, JTA, Mishpacha, and institutional websites. If there are no objections, I’d like to propose integrating this version into the main article.

Feedback welcome. Thanks! —Aveen20 (talk) 18:25, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
