This is a wonderful site for links to classic biblical and rabbinic texts, in Hebrew and English. It is a fantastic resource for finding texts online and being able to "cut and paste". It has some weaknesses,since some of the links do not have search capabilities, and some do not have English translation for all the texts. It is a very useful site for webquests into classical Jewish texts, and for translation of such texts. It would be more useful if a search engine could be developed to use as a concordance for the texts covered. Note who publishes the site and how you think that affects its legitimacy or authenticity. It's publisher is connected to Yeshiva University, so the sources tend to be academic and traditionally oriented, with no links to any liberal commentators. However, the texts presented are authentic and complete.
