[edit] Question and answer

Has Gemara ever been pronounced 'gimnerah' with an 'n' after the 'm' ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.177.27.29 (talk • contribs) 13 Oct 2006 [1]

• Uh, although I can't say for sure I am very familiar with the Gemara and it's other names (Talmud, "Torah Sh'Baal Peh" Etc.) and I have never heard of it being prounounced with an "n" after the "m". Let us know if you find a source for this it would be very interesting!141.153.150.184 03:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Idea for Talmud articles

I am reposting the following request from User Sh76us (talk · contribs) on my user talk page for wider notification:

I was thinking of trying to stimulate development of a series of articles on Gemara concepts and doctrines, maybe to help children or newcomers to Gemara with explanations of some fundamental concepts that recur throughout the Gemara. Some examples might be articles on Yiush, Chazakah, Ta'aninun (as in "Ta'aninun L'Yoresh"), Eidim Zomemin (forgive my awful transliterations), Migu, etc., etc. Maybe we could even create a category or subcategory for it. I created Breira in this vein. As I don't have the experience or expertise in Wikipedia to know what to do to best develop this idea, I figured I'd come to you for your opinions on: (1) whether it's a good idea; and (2) How to best go about implementing it.
