Since you're trying to write down words in Latin characters that are written in a completely different alphabet, there's some leeway available.

"Hillel" is not one of those words. Since it's a name of a registered corporate entity, it is only spelled that way.

I would also correct "Shechina" as the final syllable is a different phoneme.

Tephillin or tefillin is spelled so many different ways it hardly matters anymore.

And as long as I'm in a copy editing mood, "Jewish" is always capitalized ;)

Not that transparency for me is you're responsibility, but I don't understand the subject on this one.

Yikes. Even when correcting spelling of Jewish term, The Rule applies!

[yonihamagid]

Which Rule is that?

[phargle]

Your kind instruction on how to spell those terms included a typo of your own. ;)

Admittedly, The Rule is really about snarky correction of someone's spelling, so maybe this is a different rule, or a corollary of the same.

"You're"/"your" is one of my weak spots. Don't know why.

In my defense, that was an element of the comment that was not about correcting her post, merely asking for more information about it. ;)

Right, and that's why I am not sure The Rule applies. You weren't debating her and didn't use spelling to attack her.

I've most often seen it spelled as "Shekinah"
