While the RSC hasn't finalized plans for the Community Resources, a list of Jewish scared texts has been the example we've using for over a year when discussing future Resources tab content. IFLA Cataloging Section has also expressed an interest in publishing a subset of this kind of list (the anonymous works).
I've already asked Neil to add an agenda item to the summer meeting so we can discuss how to create an Israeli-RAS Cataloging collaboration to build a Judaica Community within the Resource tab of the new Toolkit.

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?

I also suggest the creation of a working list of sacred works that we can all agree upon, though I realize this may be problematic.

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.
