I need a better way to find the relevant material in rabbinical literature.

  • in Factbook and Topic Guide, I need links to the relevant material on persons, places and events ... which I can do a small bit of through community tags but ...
  • in the Passage Guide I need links to the rabbinic commentaries on the passage - I would prefer a separate section.

    You know about the Judaica links in the Ancient Literature section, I presume? What are you looking for that isn't provided there?

    Using the AL section is a pain for judaica since it won't remember your choice (type/work).  Every time you change a verse.  Not worth a suggestion though ... I'm wondering if Rick uses his tool (smilingly).
