Here are some tasks you can do:
- Requests:
- Book of Ezekiel - Why is there no discussion of some of the most famous and perplexing passages in the entire Hebrew Bible? Ezekiel complained about people burning their children to death. "And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?" (Ezek. 16:20-21) The Book of Ezekiel then states that God purposely gave bad laws which discouraged life and, by some interpretations, these laws led the people to believe that they should offer gifts of their first born by fire. This contradicts the text of the Torah as we know it, and all of Jewish and Christian interpretation of it. Nonetheless, Ezekiel talks about this as a point of view apparently accepted as truthful by at least some major segment of the population. See the discussion page for my start on this.
- Collaboration of the week
This is now stagnant.
- Translate
- Please note that in many instances, projects related to Torah study proceed much faster in Hebrew than in English.
- New projects
- Copyedit
see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Rival Biblical views
- Cleanup:
Jewish mythology - needs to be rewritten to be inline with our other mythology articles.
Three Oaths - needs a serious cleanup, and should be rewritten with reliable sources, avoiding primary sources and original research (which are currently the main sources used in the article, leading to disagreement in interpretation).
Square Hebrew: this looks to be in serious need of cleanup and referencing.
- Expand:
Yom Ha'atzmaut - quite short for an article of such importance
University of Florida Hillel - One of the most popular student organizations at University of Florida
Wikiversity: School of Jewish Studies. Part of the new open content university, Wikiversity.
- Stubs: Category:Judaism stubs, Category:Hebrew Bible stubs, Category:Synagogue stubs
- Update: Portal:Judaism is WikiProject Judaism's frequently updated portal. You can help make this the best portal on Wikipedia. Look at the talk page to see how you can help.

Goals:
- To create and maintain fair and unbiased information on Israel, including history, culture, and geography.
- To create guidelines and maintain standards for pages involving Israel.
- To work to bring Israel articles to the highest quality possible. (You can help!)
[edit] Structure and navigation
- Refine and maintain the List of basic Israel topics, a key guide on Wikipedia to Israel as a subject. It serves as a table of contents, summary, and topic outline of coverage on the political entity Israel and is the most useful tool on Wikipedia for exploring and understanding fundamental material about Israel (and how it fits together) on Wikipedia. Its purpose is an important one: it simply enables readers to see at a glance how the subject of Israel is broken down, what the component topics are, and how they relate to each other - that is, how information on Israel is organized (here, and in the world-at-large). It is a site map and outline of knowledge that demystifies the subject known as "Israel". Because of its central role in the presentation of Wikipedia's coverage of this subject, it is very important to develop and maintain it to the highest level of quality: to help readers improve their conceptual awareness and understanding of Israel as well as find their way around this subject on Wikipedia. For examples of other pages in this set, see List of basic France topics, List of basic Thailand topics, List of basic Japan topics, List of basic Taiwan topics, and List of basic Iceland topics, all of which are currently completed to a higher level of quality than this page. In other words, it's getting its ass kicked: the List of basic Israel topics is incomplete, needs your editing contributions, and is especially in need of maps and pictures!
