Navy Vet Terp says, "Much of the Babylonian Talmud is now on line. For example, 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, google it, and hope what you are looking for pops up. It doesn't always work, but it's a lot easier than pre-internet."

[Instructions for building the Tabernacle] ...It’s hard to read Parashat Terumah and not think of the economic catastrophe of recent years...brought about largely [by] mortgage practices that [encouraged people] to buy houses well beyond their means. And here...are the [still-nomadic] Israelites [squandering] on a lavish [immoveable] mansion—the Mishkan... But [this is] a valuable lesson:...insisting on one particular, fixed structure as holy sends a powerful message: housing—whether Divine or human—should never be taken lightly. Home is imbued with holiness. A home is a basic human right. (source: Dvar Tzedek)
