Well, it's been quite a while, but hello and welcome to TheKnow Database Round-Up 26!



Here is the latest submission to the database:

Culture

Israeli, Orthodox Jew, IDF soldier: avih1 has lived in a small town in the West Bank since he was born and is happy to share his knowledge and experience about the area and the politics surrounding it.

He was born and raised an Orthodox (nationalist) Jew, has studied in a religious high-school and in a Yeshiva, and has quite a lot of knowledge in Talmud, Halacha, a small bit of Kabbalah, Jewish Philosophy, and pretty much anything else connected with Judaism. He has a reasonable understanding of Aramaic, and Hebrew is his mother tongue.

He has recently started his mandatory Army service and is currently going through advanced training in the armoured corps. As well as his own personal experience, he has also heard about the army from various siblings and friends.


If this would be useful for your writing research, please contact the submitter directly by sending him a note. (He asks you to keep in mind that it may take him time to answer.) If you want to make a submission to the database yourself, the information is on our profile.



We take requests for information too. If you need someone else’s personal experience or knowledge as help with your writing research, and it isn’t in the database, leave a comment here. We’ll gather all the requests together and put them out in another journal, asking if anyone can help. Though if someone reading this journal sees a request in the comments they can help with, please feel free to contact the requester immediately.

You can make a request at any time—leave a comment on whatever is the current journal or on the group profile, or send us a note. It isn’t necessary to be a member or a watcher to make a request, but it would be lovely if you joined in.



If the database or requests system helps you in writing something, we would like to put the finished article in our favourites. So, if you post your piece on dA and would like it to feature in our collection, please send us a link! We’re thinking about featuring the stories in our journals too.



A note for anyone passing by: we understand some people may not want their details permanently on show in the database, but may feel comfortable talking to requesters privately via note. In that case, please consider watching TheKnow so you can keep an eye on the journals and what’s being looked for.
