spin: This site has a compilation of excerpts from the Talmud, in English, organized by subject matter. (Not so much excerpts, as an index of where to find things. Sorry.)

It wasn't what I was looking for, but there's a maze of info behind the page. I'm sure I can get something out of it. But I'm going to have to find something more substantial, because I'd like to extract history rather than ritual.

Thanks.

Not that it matters to "Thomcat," but <a href="http://www.greatseal.com/mottoes/translation.html" target="_blank">Novus Ordo Seclorum</a> does not exactly mean "New World Order." Anyway, it's not like the UN has enough authority to usher in a New Age of any kind.

Revalation 13:1, incidentally, refers to the seven-headed dragon rising from the sea. Which is, of course, a direct reference to Kofi Annan instigating the Last Days. But he can only do it with the help of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, who are bent on shaking the basis of belief at any cost.

Ditto diana. All the NYT did was report the publication of the new Torah!

Ah well, what can you expect from an "l-dotter." They are roughly 4.2 trillion brain cells shy of a "freeper," which are in turn several billion shy of a "dittohead."

I noticed Apikorus sneak in here after several weeks' absence to post an Ogden Nash verse about llamas. I'm interested in his take on the "Etz Hayim."
