Motivation[edit]

The Jewish English Lexicon (Q116507738) is, according to its website, "a collaborative database of distinctive words that are used in the speech or writing of English-speaking Jews. Think of it as the Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary of Jewish language. The words in this database stem from several languages of the Jewish past and present, including the Hebrew and Aramaic of ancient biblical and rabbinic texts, the Yiddish, Ladino, and Judeo-Arabic of centuries of Jewish life in "the old country," and the Modern Hebrew of contemporary Israel." This database will be a very useful link to authoritative information about Jewish English lexemes. Entries include spellings, definitions, pronunciation (with audio files), example sentences, language(s) of origin, etymology, who uses the word or phrase, regions of the world where a word or phrase is used, bibliographical references, and more.
