• We envision that an undertaking this massive would only be done as a joint effort by klal yisroel, hence we chose to use the open code wiki platform. Obviously open code can be misused. Please help us in the effort.

• This project can use lots of help. If you have time to volunteer towards populating, cleaning or checking references, please contact us at support@halachipedia.com

Romanization of Hebrew (by HachamS)

This issue is troublesome because there is no universally-accepted method. For a brief introduction to the topic there is an article in wikipedia called Romanization of Hebrew. Of the various options, we have chosen to use the "Common Israeli" version, except that the 8th Hebrew letter should be denoted by 'ch'. While this represents the official recommendation of the site, we realize that there are often numerous variations in spelling, some more common than others. We hope to list such spellings at the bottom of the given synonymous page, and to create a redirect page accordingly, and we encourage your help in this regard.
