[Sca-cooks] Vatican Library

[Yehoshua ben Haym]

I just wish they would let more Jewish schollars in, or maybe even
*RETURN* all the Jewish books they have stolen over the last 2000 years.
There is an entire order of the Jerusalem Talmud of which there is no
known copy, I'd put good money on one being in the Vatican Library.

I think the Chief Rabbis of Israel are going to ask the Pope about this
(Again) when they meet this week.
