How we build your index

From the book to the index

From hundreds of pages to the precise topic

המקור בספר
קבלת שבת והפרשת חלה

מי שקיבל עליו שבת מבעוד יום ונזכר שלא הפריש חלה מן העיסה שהכין לצורך סעודת שבת, יש לדון אם רשאי לבקש ממי שעדיין לא קיבל שבת להפריש עבורו, ואף שההפרשה נעשית בהיתר על ידי האחר, מכל מקום הרי בכך נתקנת עיסתו של מי שכבר קיבל עליו שבת.

Editorial expertise

What makes an index professional?

We look beyond word searches. Each book is considered as a whole, with its own subjects, concepts and connections.

01

Structure beyond keywords

Entries reflect the subject and its context.

02

Bringing topics together

Related discussions are gathered in one clear structure.

03

Clear hierarchy

Entries and subentries make navigation straightforward.

04

Precise, consistent wording

Equivalent entries are consolidated and refined.

05

Quality review

Consistency, duplicates and omissions are checked before delivery.

06

Tailored to the book

The structure follows the content and reference system.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions before submitting a book for indexing.

What file should I send?

You can send a PDF, Word or RTF file. Send the full book or a few representative pages for an initial assessment and a sample index based on your text.

How soon will my index be ready?

Most indexes are completed within a short timeframe, depending on the length of the book, the type of index and its complexity. After reviewing the material, we agree on a clear delivery date and commit to meeting it, with careful editing and quality review throughout.

Who prepares the indexes?

Our indexes are prepared by a team of experienced editors working across a wide range of Torah subjects. Their work combines close understanding of the text, editorial judgement and attention to structure and wording. Advanced tools support our review process, efficiency and consistency as part of a careful editorial approach tailored to each book.

How is the price determined?

The price depends on the length of the book, the type of index, the level of detail and the condition of the material. Each project is assessed individually.

Can you improve an existing index?

Of course. We can consolidate equivalent entries, organise subentries, refine the wording and check for duplicates and omissions. The result is a clearer, more detailed and more useful index, shaped by the needs of the book.

Can you create one index for several volumes?

Of course. We can combine topics and references from several volumes in one index. Consistent terminology and structure, with clear volume and location references, make the entire series easier to search.

Preparing a book for publication?

Send your book or a few pages so we can assess the project and prepare a sample index.
