Welcome

Welcome, all. The idea behind this blog is to comment on the intricacies, conundrums, and complications in translating from Hebrew to English. Every language is unique. When translating from one to another simple replacement of one phrase or word for its' corresponding partner will lead to unnatural syntax and cloudy meaning. The objective of a good translation is to retain the power, clarity and sparkle of the original in the target language. The bumps on the road in pursuit of this goal will be focus of this blog. All comments appreciated!
