I second Bob’s proposal of creating a list. Ahava, would such a list be
included in the new Resources section of RDA? Or would it only belong on our
user community’s wiki?

Yes, we do not put commentaries under liturgy.
As per LCSH:

While the RSC hasn't finalized plans for the Community Resources, a list of

discussing future Resources tab content. IFLA Cataloging Section has also

Yes, Marlene, that's correct because the Haggadah is a liturgical work not a
sacred work. Per LC's SHM 1435, the subdivision Commentaries only applies to
sacred works not religious works.

Talmud]) Torah would be
The new Toolkit is deliberately vague because the RSC is trying to move content
which is biased in favor of a specific religion/cultural group out of the basic
Toolkit and into the Resources tab. We know that religious works is an area
which does require guidelines in the basic Toolkit, but at
Discussing it during the summer session is a good idea. I also suggest the

Thanks Neil and Gabriel
The reason for the question is the correct use of the LCSH subdivision:
Introductions.
According to SHM this subdivision is to only be used under Sacred works.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your response which makes total sense.
As a matter of fact, in the new version of the Toolkit
the term "Sacred scriptures" does not appear.
What we do have is "Religious works" in definitions which is vague.

I think this is a great question, and probably the fruit of applying an
anglocentric category to a body of literature that doesn't match. We should
consider if anything we call *sifre kodesh* is actually a sacred text in
the spirit of the LC category.
That said, even inside of the sphere of
Hi Heidi:
Outside of the obvious sacred works, I think it's up to the individual
library to decide what gets treated as a sacred work and what doesn't since
there isn't an official list. For my money, the Zohar is not a sacred
