The below quote is from someone else:
Anyone who complains of anti-Semitism, while silently ignoring the massive daily evidence of the humiliations, harassment and violence dealt out on a systematic basis in Gaza and the West Bank, is ranting hollowly to my ear.

Testimonial for Yoninah
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've quoted you in Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Obituary, which is a draft Signpost obituary for Yoninah. On her talk page, you left a note saying "תהי נשׁמתה צרורה בּצרור החיים". Would you like to provide an English translation? I can do it myself on Google Translate, but I figured you might prefer your own interpretation.
However, please note that I can't guarantee that your testimonial will appear in the final version of the obituary, as it still has to go through review by Signpost staff. Also, if you prefer that I remove your comment from the obituary, I'd be happy to do so. Edge3 (talk) 14:46, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, sure and appreciate the ask. The text is usually translated as "May his/her soul be bound up in the bond of life", it is most often found on the bottom of a gravestone, and Yizkor prayer, and comes from the book of Samuel 1, 25:29. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:52, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll add it in. Edge3 (talk) 14:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Also, a small nitpick, Jews don't usually use RIP when discussing the deceased. If you wish to honor her, you can use BDE, or Barukh Dayan Ha'emet, or "Blessed is the true judge" which is often said when hearing news of someone passing, and is part of the blessing said at a Jewish funeral. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for that suggestion. I've added it into the obituary's blurb as well. However, I just checked Bereavement in Judaism, and the spelling ("Barukh... dayan ha-emet.") is slightly different from yours. I understand that transliterations often differ, but I'm wondering if you know WP:HE well enough to know which version to use? Edge3 (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- If you want to use English, you'll get various spellings and even I used two types in my reply. There's academic, street, spoken, etc. But I think since we're dealing with a Wikipedian, we can use "academic" and what you posted would be correct (without the "..." because we are skipping the middle part, so "Barukh dayan ha-emet" or "ha'emet" works). In Hebrew, it would just be, ברוך דיין האמת. The apostrophe or dash is merely spacing the "the" word.Sir Joseph (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. I think I'll keep it romanized for now, since it's a blurb that will be posted on the Signpost front page, and not contained within the article body itself. You'll see that there are lines in the article kept in the original Hebrew. However, the Signpost editors might have different thoughts once they start editing.
