Sacred Texts: Texts of Judaism

I don’t be I have noted this site before. Sacred Texts Has a very comprehensive site, one that I am still exploring. It is very similar to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library, but has a much broader scope, including Tolkien and UFOs! For my current students, see the section on Texts of Judaism.

I like the fact that the site’s FAQ is helpful and humorous:

Q. Who are you?
A. My name is John B. Hare. I put this site together.
