I might be like Haggadah which does not take "Commentaries." Only bible and Talmud do. That was my understanding.

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 sifre kodesh, I think that the Zohar is major, called Zohar ha-kadosh, which is a qualificative we don't find applied to many other rabbinic works. This brings me to the question: what else is Sacred Texts in our cannon? Other than the Tanakh, should we include the Talmud (Mishnah, Tosefta?)? I wouldn't include the midrash as a number of rishonim, like Duran, consider it to be holy, yet "not to be taken literally." Yet, the Zohar is midrashic in nature. It's all a conundrum. If people are interested, perhaps we can talk more about that in our RAS Cataloging Summer meeting, since the Winter's agenda is already quite full.
