The laws

For each law: the sections the site discusses, the marginal note of each section as worded in the consolidated version of the Law (unofficial translation), and links to the guides.

How the index was built

The index is derived from the guides themselves. Every section reference was extracted from the body text, linked to the law the guide attributes it to, and checked against the consolidated version on Wikisource: that the section exists, whether it was repealed, and its marginal note. A section that was not found, or whose marginal note did not fit what was written about it, was corrected in the guide itself before it was added here.

A law page in this section does not explain what the section says. It points you to the original text and to the guide on the site that discusses it.

What is checked when a section is compared with the consolidated version

For every section that a guide on the site mentions, the index checks three things against the consolidated version on Wikisource: first, that the section still exists in the Law and was not repealed; second, if it was repealed, that the guide says so and does not present it as in force; and third, that the marginal note quoted in the guide matches the official text, and is not a paraphrase of our own. When a section is amended and its numbering changes, the index is updated so that the reference in the guide keeps pointing to the right section, and not to a section number that no longer exists in that context. The binding text is the one published in Reshumot (the official gazette).

How the sections are distributed by area of law

The 21 indexed laws belong to seven main areas of law on the site:

FAQ

How many laws and sections are indexed on the site?
21 Israeli laws and 79 sections. Each section has its marginal note as worded in the consolidated version of the Law, and a link to the guides on the site that discuss it.

What is the difference between the index page and a single law page?
This page brings together all 21 laws and explains the method. A single law page (such as the Prescription Law or the Consumer Protection Law) brings together the specific sections of that law and the guides that discuss them.

Are the section headings in the index the office’s interpretation?
No. The heading of each section is its official marginal note in the consolidated version of the Law (here in unofficial translation), not the office’s wording or interpretation. The detailed legal content is in the relevant guides.

All the questions on the legislation pages, grouped by page, each linked to its answer.

This page collects the references to legislation on the site. The section headings are the marginal notes as worded in the consolidated text of the law, and are not our interpretation. The binding text is the one published in Sefer HaHukim (the official gazette of statutes). The content here is general information and is not legal advice.
