It's a bit different in spirit to other language-specific wiki pages:
most of the others (except for Russian IIRC) mostly contain pointers to
other wiki pages, so they are all about documenting Postgres at the
technical level.  Your Hebrew page, like the Russian page, contains
links to Facebook, Meetup, Linkedin, etc.

I am not sure language-specific wiki pages are supposed to be advocacy
items (where the social network stuff is good to have) or documentation
only.  I leaned towards the latter initially but later had second
thoughts, and perhaps using the wiki as advocacy material is fine.  What
do others think?  Maybe we shouldn't be policying the wiki too much.  In
that case, I would probably be adding pointers to Spanish advocacy
materials in the Spanish wiki page too.  Notice that the English pages
do *not* do that.  Would that pollute the wiki?

On the other hand, we do have a place in the main www site for PUGs,
including meetup.com links etc, so perhaps that kind of stuff just
doesn't belong into the wiki.
