The opening as it read in 2005
A Hebrew term meaning, roughly, "Prince". In classical times, Nasi was the title given to the head of the Sanhedrin . Certain great figures from Jewish history are referred to by this title, e.g., Judah haNasi . In modern usage Nasi also means "President". It is the title used in Modern Hebrew for any democratically elected head of state.1
