Janus Parallelism in Unetaneh Tokef
Professor Herbert Basser drew attention to an instance of Janus parallelism in rabbinic liturgical poetry.1 Janus parallelism occurs, it will be recalled, when a word that carries two senses corresponds in one sense to the words preceding it and in the other sense to those following it.The phenomenon occurs not infrequently in the Hebrew Bible.2The familiar example is in Song of Songs 2:12
On Jews in the Roman World
The present volume presents a selection of studies by Ranon Katzoff on Jews in the ancient Roman world. Common to them is that they deal with Jews in liminal situations - confronted with non-Jewish, mainly Roman, laws, places, government, and modes of thought.

Where Did the Greeks of the Roman Period Practice Wrestling
An examination of texts in Lucian, and particularly the usage of the term aithrion, leads to the conclusion that Greeks of the Roman period practiced both sand and mud wrestling in the open air. Features of the palaestra at Olympia seem to be consistent with this conclusion, and the query is posed to archaeologists as to whether other monuments support this view or not
