<p class="fluidplugincopy"><span class="fluidplugincopy1"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">My sense is that ultimately it will depend onwhich version of RDA you are currently utilizing. I would speculate that after
the complete adoption of the new edition that the decision of what is included will depend on individual religious communities to develop best practices If we go by EJ they consider Kaballah as emodying "mysticism and esoterica. "As such, I would not consider
it a "sacred work" even under the new version of the Toolkit. But that is just my opinion, this should ultimate be discussed and decided up on by the AJL RAS Cataloging Commitee. </span></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
