| Website | Description |
|---|---|
| Spertus Feinberg E-Collection | My favorite site. For the paltry fee of $30 a year, you can join the Spertus library and have remote access to the Encyclopedia Judaica; Bar Ilan's Responsa Database ver. 14+; The DBS Torah Library ver. 12; Judaica and Soncino Classics; The Book of Legends (English); BibleWorks & the Index to Jewish Periodicals. I use it daily! |
| Mikranet (Hebrew) | Tanakh (accessible by perek), Mishnah (by masechet), Tosefta (by masechet), Yerushalmi & Bavli (by daf and amud) and Mishneh Torah (by sefer and perek). The online dictionary is useless. But click on פרשנים in the floating box on the left and you can get Rashi AND Ramban (in Hebrew) on every pasuk. Click on הפסוק במאגרים אחרים and get hot-linked cross-references in the Talmud and Rambam. |

| Soncino Talmud | Many volumes of the Soncino translation of the Talmud with footnotes (Most of Nashim and Nezikim, plus some others.)Warning: Although I have found this to be a useful resource, be advised that the website itself is an anti-Semitic site masquerading as a site promoting tolerance, rehashing the same tired canards that Nicholas Donin brought against the Talmud in 1240. Use it for the Talmud and don't go exploring. Or if you must, check out the following:The Real Truth About the Talmud by Rabbi Gil Student. |
