Some writing/reading sources come first, then the dates, stated for Saturday readings but diaries can post pretty much anytime from Thursday through Saturday, even earlier if you have prior commitments. And if any problem should prevent posting timely what you've written, please do post on Sunday anyway. ~~~ We have dates open going forward — please volunteer by commenting at this diary or kosmailing to Navy Vet Terp or ramara or mettle fatigue — also for setting your diaries for automatic publication in the E of Z queue or to arrange publication if your diary isn't queue-able.

NVT says much of the Babylonian Talmud is on line, e.g., google Talmud Shabbat or Talmud Bava Metzia and it comes up. When I cite to the Talmud, I always link to it if it's available on line. The difficulty is you have to have some idea of what you are looking for... It doesn't always work, but it's a lot easier than pre-internet.
