Stolen Talmud tractate recovered
NO LONGER MISSING: Stolen 19th Century Talmud Found. The book was stolen from the National Library years ago. Judaica auction house owner arrested (Orly Harari, Gil Ronen, Arutz Sheva). As this post's header indicates, the stolen item was a tractate of the Talmud, not the whole thing. The latter would have been an awfully large item to sneak off with. In any case, I'm glad it has been recovered.
