topic is just developing, though a monograph literature is rapidly developing--best example being Samuel
Heilman. Sliding to the Right: the contest for the Future of American Jewish Orthodoxy, U Cal Press, 2006, to cite but one example. The Canadian Yeshiva is among a few educational institutions that are in the forefront of this change, hence the over-reliance on quotes from its website. Certainly the article requires a rewrite and references to sociological sources that reflect the recent trends alluded to in this article are needed. However, to remove it would reduce the currency of Knowledge for its users as the Masters of Information user so effectively pointed out. I would give the writer--who has been advised of the necessity of this process--a couple of weeks to produce the appropriate article.
685:, and if creator wants, userfy so that any useful references can be placed in one of the history of judaism article (i didnt see any useful refs, but i could be wrong). this term is used ONLY to refer to the canadian school, is not used in a sense comparable to classical music, classical architecture, or classic coke. this is in fact original research and synthesis. its usefulness or appeal to any of our esteemed readers does not justify it as an article. I have myself never heard this term, and i suspect i would have. I also know that there is no consensus on such a term within jewish scholarship, and if anyone tried to introduce this specific meaning to this term, they would be drowned out by a chorus of scholars.
403:: The article as it is currently written is eminently deletable. But it also suggests that Classic Judaism is a religious movement, which might, perhaps, have adherents, and about which, perhaps, scholars have written things. The author is a rank tyro at this encyclopedia-writing business. On his talk page I gave him a few pointers about how to save the article, and I think we should give him a couple of weeks to give it a shot. If there are, in fact, Jewish congregations that adhere to this ideology, and there are published discussions about it as a movement, it is definitely worth saving. --

same time, "Early
Christianity" (also on Knowledge) describes a time-period of pre-denominational Christianity, without much direct referencing to the term itself. Rather, it describes the context of the time as different from what followed. Similarly, "Classic Judaism" describes the context of a modern, "classic" variety and a very real phenomenon among the Jewish community. Knowledge has the opportunity to acknowledge the diversity and complexity of the Jewish community by including this article here.
557:"KEEP." It seems that in a way this article is condemning Reform and Orthodox practices. It needs some revising so that it is written like an encyclopedia article, not from as biased a point of view. The article does capture a real phenomenon. Without the other sides' views, it is only opinion. With all the perspectives, though, it gives people an idea of how different denominations of Judaism approached Jewish history. It has some good information, but needs revision.
322:- All right, it didn't take a couple days. This is an original essay about what seems to be a "proprietary concept," if I may use anachronistic language to get my point across, fostered by a single rabbinical school. In this I echo Cullen328 above. I think there might be material of worth for an encyclopedic article on the history of Judaism, but most of the good stuff isn't sourced and probably constitutes a content fork anyway.
424:. Additionally, I couldn't find any significant discussion of a "Classic Judaism" in scholarly works, and Jewish specific encyclopedias, such as Encyclopaedia Judaica, have not trace of mention of it either. I'm not 100% convinced that an article can't be made out of this, but this is definitely not that article. I !vote for
368:. There is a Classical Reform Judaism movement, but that it is completely different from what this article is.

I did a pretty in depth search and found no mention of a religious movement calling itself "Classic Judaism." As I mentioned above, many of the theological points are similar to certain orthodox/conservative Judaism views of Halakah, but the specific views mentioned in this article seem to be

However, the article does not state the notability of "Classic Judaism", is it an actual movement or is it one Rabbi's analogy? The tone of the article advocates this philosophy without taking a neutral stance.
