Online Torah Study Resources

[dauer]

If there are links you would suggest for the study of Torah, make a post and I will copy them to this post. Please include a sentence or two to explain what the link is. Translations are also good, but if there's a mega-site of translations that includes your translation, please don't repost.

Great links, dauer. I hope these resources will enrich our discussion significantly.

Hi Dauer,

is there a good one for oral tradition? i did not look through all the ones posted. but that would be of great interest to me.

Bandit,

The link I posted to midrashim is a whole collection of midrashim arranged into a big novel. That's one type of extra-biblical writing. There is midrash in the Talmud, and there are also volumes outside of it, and I'm pretty sure it's all considered a part of oral tradition, (but don't quote me on that.)

I'm really only making a list of links for bible study, and if you have any that cover material that isn't here, that do have some good material on Torah, that would be great too. For Talmud you could try this link:

I don't think you'll get very far. If you go to the main page you might find some more helpful information. This is also good:

http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudPage.html

And he has links to some other things. Unfortunately most of that stuff is not available on the internet. Hope that helps.

dauer, I want to thank you so much for providing all these links. Lots to study here. Been perusing, and I can see that this is going to be quite helpful to my understanding. I think there may be enough information here to light a few candles.

InPeace,
