The four tractates of the Second Order - Ta'aniot, Megillah, Hagigah, Mo'ed Qatan (Maqin) - deal with different fasts and holidays as well as with the pilgrimage to the Temple. The texts are accompanied by an English translation and presented with full use of existing Genizah texts and with an extensive commentary explaining the Rabbinic background.
