Al Ameer son;[edit]

I am delighted that you have started this article; I had thought of doing so ever since I read about the place and the festival in Benvenisti. You beat me to it! Anyway, the library of Congress has a *lot* of wonderful pictures from the festivals: go to http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/mdbquery.html and search for "Nabi Rubin" and "Nebi Rubin". Perhaps we can use some of them. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 14:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work Al Ameer Son! I made a few minor fixes here and there, but what an interesting, comprehensive run-down of the history of Nabi Rubin. Wonderful, really. Keep up the great work. Tiamut^talk 14:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And great work Huldra! I had not noticed that you had expanded the article by a third yourself (had not bothered to look history, since I had assumed Al Ameer Son had written it all, having seen it at DYK). Now I see you both deserve the honour. Nice. Tiamut^talk 19:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Thank you so much for the new info and sources Huldra! By the way, I uploaded one of those images you led me to (it's the one in the infobox). The DYK nomination had some trouble, but Tiamut and I have cleared it up. I also want to thank both of you for tremendously expanding Hittin. It looks great! --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1924 description of the festival[edit]

A 1924 sanitary report of the Government of Palestine offered the following description: "As this is a Moslem feast the great majority of "pilgrims" [quotation marks in text] were Mohammedans. Their women and female children resided in the tents and were rarely seen. The male population was obviously present for a holiday as evidenced by numerous coffee shops, beer stalls and amusement places, not to mention more than occasional brawls and bouts of fistcuffs. Little if any religious observance was noted. The total number of visitors is not available. Daily figures vary, the maximum number present on one day was 42,000. A daily average might be placed conservatively at 15 - 20,000." Over a thousand cases of clinical malaria were reported by the end of the festival. The report notes that "Some of the older men who had attended this phantasia regularly stated that "fever" has always been a menace to the camp and could give no definite statistics."--ארינמל (talk) 00:58, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Killing of Jewish Aerovan passangers[edit]

Worth a mention in the article. On July 18, 1948 an IAF aerovan on its way to Tel Aviv performed an emergency landing at the dunes of Nabi Rubin. There were seven passengers on board aside from the pilot. Five were captured and executed in the morning, including the American pilot and one woman. The event is known as "רצח נוסעי האירוואן" ("the murder of the aerovan passengers") and prompted the Giva'ti operation in August.--ארינמל (talk) 00:58, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Uniting?[edit]

Presently, the shrine and the village is divided into two. With the info from Socin, etc, I’m not sure that is a very useful structure. Does anyone mind me uniting the history? Huldra (talk) 23:53, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not Jewish holy site[edit]

Visited yesterday, no cover on on grave and any Jewish reference has been removed. Site is fenced of with signs warning not to enter due to risk of collapse, though fence has been cut allowing enterence. In general site feels abandoned. 95.86.116.134 (talk) 13:29, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
