Accordance Enthusiast Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Jastrow's Lexicon is an excellent resource for study in Rabbinic literature. I often need to look up words in Jastrow and would like to have that on Accordance. Please add this to your Hebrew Lexicon collection 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please add this to your Hebrew Lexicon collection This has been requested any number of times, the biggest problem apparently being the absence of an electronic text. That being said, Jastrow is outdated. Several requests have been made for Sokoloff's equivalent. Take a look here: I don't know where things are at concerning one or the other. I would reiterate the desire to see a complete Aramaic lexicon for the Targums. This is a clear desideratum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accordance Enthusiast Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 There is an electronic text of Jastrows lexicon. It is available for free at Sefaria.org Thus it would be very easy to incorporate that into Accordance! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either that thread or another). If you do a search on "Jastrow" in the user forums here, you'll see how many times I've requested it personally, not to mention others making the same request. That being said, if Accordance is going to invest time and money into a complete Aramaic lexicon, and keep it reasonably priced for those who are in the market to buy it, it would be better to focus on something that is more up to date than Jastrow.

Accordance Enthusiast Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Ok I see. But Jastrow can be added very easily because it is already available in e-format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabian Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 In general should Accordance add more material from Sefaria. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W. Davidson Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not having Jastrow has been a long standing gap in Accordance’s lexicon offerings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvonkaenel Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Please give me a reason to pay for the module in Accordance if it's free in Sefaria and they have a much more books to read from Rabbis. And this for free? For me is Accordance great for Christianity but for Judaism I go to the Rabbis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan S Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I looked into Jastrow last year and Sefaria doesn't make these files available like they do for other texts. Edited April 1, 2022 by Jordan S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan S Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I didn't last time for whatever reason. I don't recall if I read something or was told by someone internally in conversation that it was pursued before without success. Regardless, I emailed now. I've been meaning to email them anyway about other rabbinic texts that would complement A Scripture Index to Rabbinic Literature. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get back to you and allow the use of their textual version of Jastrow's Lexicon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYA Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Much thanks, Jordan, for pursuing more rabbinic texts (potentially including Jastrow's and Klein's dictionaries) from Sefaria. Thanks Accordance! (And let me add that I'd love anything by Sokoloff also Edited September 5, 2022 by TYA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
