__NOTOC__
Our goal is to create the greatest, most useful, and readily available resource for Halacha on the web. Our intentions are leshem shamayim. We aim to police the site to keep contributions true to torah misinai. 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. Note this is not the same as Halachapedia.

==Who are we?==
I'm not interested in taking any credit but because people asked I just wanted to clarify who I am. My name is Yitzchak Sultan (I go by Ike). I'm currently a student in YU in Rav Schachter's shiur and previously I went to Frisch high school and Shaalvim Yeshiva. My older brothers also went to YU and are involved in another great website called [[www.Berachot.org]]. My brothers and I came up with this idea a few years ago. At first we thought it was impossible to organize and translate all of the halacha but thought perhaps it would be possible if it's done slowly and with the help of others. By the way, every edit or comment is greatly appreciated.
