If this rabbi's book will be printed on paper, it may indeed need an index and/or glossary. If it is published as an eBook, it will *not* need an index because eBook readers generally enable text searching. It also will *not *need a glossary but should have clickable (or finger-tappable) links to websites that provide more information about terms or concepts that may not be easily understood by some readers. You can see how website links can replace a glossary in this Word file about changes that occurred in the sound of Hebrew letters: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/My_Books/Sound_Changes.docx The same material is also available as a slide show: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/My_Books/Sound_Changes_slides.pptx Best regards, Izzy Israel A Cohen Beer Sheva +972-54-754-2744
