How to Search

General Search

Use keywords or phrases in any language to return matching or similar results across all fields. Arabic script searches will return both Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic transcription content.

Regular Expression Search

Use Hebrew or Arabic script to find precise matches in the transcriptions. See How to Search page for advanced use cases.

Cheat sheet:

  • If you're looking for a word with one missing letter, use a period. Two missing letters, use two periods or {2}. Increase the number in the curly brackets to increase the number of characters, or insert a range with a comma in between, ex. {0,5}.
  • If you don't know how many characters are missing, use .*.
  • If you know which characters you want, use square brackets to find multiple spellings, ex. [יו] for yud or vav.

    Interestingly, the court merely forbids future use of sacred objects of collateral, but does not enjoin the congregation officers to restore or place the sacred objects already taken. […] They would have been unable to enter into any business or personal arrangements with members of the community, would be formally cursed, might have property confiscated, and might even have been subjected to corporal punishment. The public announcement of the ban would have been necessary in order to ensure its enforcement, and was likely very effective.
