E-mail problems
My apologies to anyone who has sent inquiries to our general account,
msdss@pluto.mscc.huji.ac.il, and has been waiting for a reply. I normally
answer mail promptly but someone sent an extremely large file to the
account during the holidays. The inbox froze and I was only able to take
care of the problem this morning (thanks to Vladimir, our systems
analyst). I will answer all inquiries as quickly as I can.
For those of you who might want to send us articles or scans by
e-mail, please note that our mailbox limit is 4M. Anything over a few
pages should be sent by snail mail.
**********
Web site
Various notices for positions, calls for papers and conferences have been
posted on the Orion web site, under "Bulletin Board." If you miss
something from H-Judaica which is relevant to Jewish studies in the Second
Temple Period, you may find it on that page.

in Light of the Dead Sea Scrolls."
