Interesting life and writing, on fine sources, foreign and offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook, just checking: Is the synagogue mentioned in the article Brodsky Synagogue (Odessa)? Link then? Perhaps mention in the hook? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The synagogue would have been the "Old Fortress Synagogue [Wikidata]" in Brody, which doesn't yet have an article on English Wikipedia (though it should). The Brodsky Synagogue in Odessa was build only 25 years later. –Ploni (talk) 03:42, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining. Might still be a good idea two write at least a stub on the old one ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:05, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! –Ploni (talk) 15:14, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
