"Hakham Bashi (Ottoman Turkish: \u062D\u0627\u062E\u0627\u0645\u0628\u0627\u0634\u06CC\u200E, Turkish: Hahamba\u015F\u0131) is the Turkish name for the Chief Rabbi of the nation's Jewish community. In the time of the Ottoman Empire it was also used for the chief rabbi of a particular region of the empire, such as Syria or Iraq, though the Hakham Bashi of Constantinople was considered overall head of the Jews of the Empire."@en . . .
