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.

    The custom is that (B) should pay

  26. some defect, or there is a technical fault in ownership: (A) can’t say to his associate, “You lose with me,” or “the

  27. fault in ownership doesn’t lie with me,” since each of them had the choice for himself (of whether to accept it as a valid partnership, since it wasn’t legally binding in the first place).
