[edit] Borenstein or Bornsztajn?
Where on earth did the spelling Borenstein come from? His name was Avrohom Bornsztajn. --Redaktor (talk) 23:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Redaktor, I see that you are a "buki" in Hebrew (and Polish) pronunciation and spelling. I don't agree, however, that we should use such obscure spellings as "Bornsztajn" when most Jewish publications use the simpler and easier (for English speakers) to read, "Borenstein" (YU Torah Online, Jewish Press, JewishLaw.com, Feldheim Publishers, JewishGen.org).
