Talk:Rehovot
previous version stated Rehovot as the only israeli city with two universities. That isn't true - Haifa has two - University of Haifa, and the Technion Institute of Technology (05/03/2005).
Cairo to Haifa train bombing[edit]
Removing reference to 100 civilians casualties, as those were in the SECOND bombing of this line, that happened a month later near Binyamina. See the well-sourced entry about that - Cairo–Haifa train bombings 1948. Shmuel A. Kam (talk) 22:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Don't know if this fits, but...[edit]
It's hard to find Khirbat Deiran on a map, except for an archaeological map. For the record, it was roughly centered at the intersection of Ya'aqov and Dondikov streets. Zerotalk 09:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Correct spelling[edit]
The correct spelling of this town's name is REHOVOTH.
The final ת is NOT a "t" (that's תּ), but a "th".

- According to what sources is that the correct spelling?
- The most compelling evidence I see for the current spelling, Rehovot, is the city's website: http://www.rehovot.muni.il/ —C.Fred (talk) 14:11, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I am aware of that regrettable fact.
- Nonetheless, the fact remains it should be spelled Rehovoth.
- Except very few exceptions, Hebrew letter ת does not have a dagesh (that small dot) inside it when at the end of the word, with no vowel following after that. So, it cannot be a "t", but only "th".
- Furthermore, note "וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמָהּ, רְחֹבוֹת" ("And he called the name of it Rehoboth"; Genesis, 26, 22, from here: http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/t/t0126.htm, En-Version here: http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et0126.htm). "רְחֹבוֹת" and NOT "רְחֹבוֹתּ"; and note, also: not "רְחוֹבוֹת".
- Furthermore, the Hebrew Language is my own profession and expertise, and I am a Native of this town. :-)
- Admittedly, most modern Hebrew-speakers have lost the ability to pronounce it correctly, which is highly regrettable; but nonetheless, one must be accurate.

- If you are a native of this town, then please show official publications by the town that use the -th spelling This is one case where a self-published source by the subject is authoritative. —C.Fred (talk) 15:55, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Notable residents[edit]
As far as I know, Adi Shamir is also a resident of Rehovot, and should be notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enosh10 (talk • contribs) 08:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Update needed for opening paragraph statistics[edit]
Population figure needs an update to reflect information on the table on the right.
DeeTsameret (talk) 16:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- done. But by matching the infobox to the current
{{Israel populations}}
listing. nableezy - 16:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)- The opposite needs to be done. The more updated statistics were in the infobox (2022). DeeTsameret (talk) 16:43, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
