[edit] Clean up notice

It was added because, users without a Jewish background might have a hard time to actually understand what it actually is about. ems 14:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The introduction does not impart why this practice is important or what it signifies, and the rest of the writing needs to be tightened up. Yoninah 16:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Priestly Blessing vs. Nesiat Kapayim

Suggest two separate articles to distinguish the words, which are widely used in a variety of contexts in liberal Judiasm and Christianity, from the ceremony, which includes kohanim, special hand positions, etc., and is done only in Orthodox and some Conservative synagogues. --Shirahadasha 20:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In Lutheran services

At least here in Germany, the blessing (in German translation of course) occupies a prominent role in Lutheran Christian services. Maybe this should be mentioned and discussed here if somebody knows more about it. -- 212.63.43.180 (talk) 15:31, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
