Kloize

What's the difference between a Shtiebel and a Kloize? Is there room for Kloize in this article? Anyone want to add it?

Hi there, I was planning on adding a few things to improve this page.

First I'd like to specify the place that the shtiebel held in Judaism and specifically in Hassidism. I'll also expand on why the Shtiebel seemed to be such an effective tool in the spread of Hassidism.

Second I'd like to add a specific description of what the Shtiebel was and was not used for (i.e. prayer, eating, drinking, etc.) because the practices that it was used for differed significantly from that of synagogues and other Jewish prayer houses.

Third I'd like to add the primary and secondary sources I've used to improve this article and make it more valid.

The sources that I will use are

If anyone has any ideas or information that can help me to better this article please contact me on this talk page or my user talk page. Thanks!Taylo184 (talk) 15:52, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

References

Taylo184, this looks promising but 1) Is your reference really entitled "Jew History"? Sounds odd to me. What's the full title? Did it appear in a journal, if so what is journal title? 2) Wiki isn't the place for primary sources. Otherwise, looks like a good plan.Chapmansh (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

English/Yiddish

1. Why aren't we using the standard Yiddish shtibl as the title of the article for this Yiddish word?
2. Isn't the correct Yiddish plural shtiblekh not shtibelekh?
