The primary title of a text. Texts may have multiple titles which can be entered below, but this will be the default way of referring to this text.

Titles in this field must use Roman chacters, but may be transliterations. Add titles in Hebrew characters below.

The primary title of a text in Hebrew characters. Alternate Hebrew titles may also be added under "Alternate Titles" below.

Alternate Titles can include alternate translations, alternate transliterations spellings, and abbreviations.

Enter each alternate separated by a comma.

A category for the text. Categories are used in searching and grouping texts.

A Text's Structure is represented by the hieracrchy of different types of sections that make up the text.

For example, texts of the Tanach like Genesis are divided into "Chapters" which are then divided into "Verses".

Larger texts, such as the Mishneh Torah, may have more levels in their hierarchy, for example "Book" > "Section" > "Chapter" > "Law".

Shorthands are alternative ways of refering to a particular point or passage in a text.

For example "Rambam, Hilchot Tshuva" is shorter and more common way to refer to the 7th topic in the first book of Mishneh Torah. From Sefaria's perpective, this segment of text is "Mishneh Torah 1:7", but we we want to capture more human readable forms.

Shorthands are also used to capture multiple ways to refer to a text. For example, since Sefaria stores Genesis in terms of chapters and verses, "Parsha Toledot" is a shorthand for "Genesis 25:19-28:9".

Enter the shorthand text in the box on the left, then enter either a single reference or a range on the right.
