Mr. Sherman wasn't a rabbi. He was a mohel. Can the title be changed to reflect this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.98.251 (talk) 20:46, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Longhornsg (talk). Self-nominated at 22:29, 15 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Philip Sherman (rabbi); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is long enough, new enough, adequately sourced, and is free of close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been done. Both hooks are cited inline and verified, and while I think ALT1 is a cute and punchy hook, ALT0 is probably the more impressive and eye-catchy one so let's go with that.
