Talk:Beit HaNassi

Why in Hebrew as a title?

Why does it need to be in Hebrew? This is such a typical "small culture" reflex, not to say Ghettospeak. It's not such an essentially Israeli or Jewish term like Knesset or Torah that English-speakers must use it in its Hebrew form, whether they like & understand it or not. Beit is house, ha'nasi the president - no hidden talmudic or glorious Zionist message hiding behind it. As a matter of fact, in the entire Anglosphere it's almost restricted to enWiki: Google comes up with a grand total of seventy (70!) glorious hits for Beit HaNassi and Beit HaNasi scores another gigantic 67 hits. Who needs this? There seems to be a series of books published in Hebrew by "Beit HaNasi" (see "Beit+HaNasi" here), so with a single s when quoted in English: for that specific use, it is perfectly legitimate (bot note the spelling!), as any proper name of a publishing institution is 100% up to the owner. But why push for it in the wider meaning? Arminden (talk) 13:16, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
