Shalom b-Hebrew,

There's a lot of online resources at <http://www.mechon-mamre.org/index.htm>

Outside of Tanach there seems to be not that much in English there (or likely anywhere)
"(the beginning of) RaMBaM's Complete Restatement of the Oral Law (Mishneh Torah)
Four major authoritative sources of the Oral Law (Mishnah, Tosefta, Yerushalmi, and Bavli)"
Even in print, it is rare to find a comprehensive citation of Rabbinical views,
with the exception of Isaiah 53 in the classic Driver/Newbauer book,
or the snippets in Translations like ArtScroll or Living Nach/Torah
Even passages like Psalm 110 have to be researched scattershot, we
found a fascinating commentary by Ovadyah Sforno that was barely
referenced elsewhere..
Remember many commentaries, of folks like Abarbanel or Ibn Ezra,
are simply not published in English.... (afaik) Rashi and Maimonides
are possibly the two principle exceptions., even there it is doubtful
if something like Rashi's Talmud commentary has ever been published
in English....
(I have a question on that one, if someone has it :-)
If anyone has substantial sources to share, print, CD or Web, I also am all ears..
(Not including the Talmud on CD....or various individual Pentateuch commentaries
in print or CD, which are numerous)
And feel free to correct me if I am way offbase on my understanding :-)
Shalom,

Does anyone know of freely accessible web sites that one can use to read
literature such as the tractates of Mishnah or Talmud, in English. For
example, how would one find an English version online of Yebamot or Pesahim?
