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. In these studies - in which texts in Greek and Latin and rabbinic texts (all in translation) elucidate each other - Jews are shown to be rather loyal to their Jewish traditions, a controversial conclusion. The first two sections concern law. Section one searches the remains of popular Jewish culture for evidence on the degree to which rabbinic law really prevailed, through the study of Judaean Desert documents, mainly those of Babatha. Section two sifts through rabbinic law for traces of Roman law. Section three comprises studies of Jews in, to, and from the city of Rome, and section four a miscellany of studies on Jews confronted with non-Jewish life.
Nazareth
Nazareth is much more than the Basilica of the Annunciation and Mary's well. It is a town of many different quarters, markets, churches and sites. The ERETZ Guide is produced by Israel's leading geographic magazine, and includes detailed routes and maps to the various quarters of Nazareth, a listing of Nazareth's vibrant culinary scene and recommendations for accommodations in the town itself in the many ancient mansions that have been turned into unique B&B guest houses. The detailed maps give street names (many of them numbers) throughout the maze of alleys of the Old City (most of them do not appear on Waze or Google maps), and a myriad of sites to visit and places to enjoy and specialty shops in the markets and around. The ERETZ Guide to Nazareth was written by Yadin Roman, editor in chief of ERETZ Magazine, and one of Israels' foremost experts on the lore and heritage of the Land of Israel.

Walking the Land
Israel has one of the most extensive and highly developed hiking trail systems of any country in the world. Millions of hikers use the trails every year during holiday breaks, on mandatory school trips, and for recreational hikes.

The thousand-kilometer Israel National Trail crosses the country from north to south. Hiking, trails, and the ubiquitous three-striped trail blaz...
Beyond Dogmatics
This book is an important contribution to the current lively debate about the relationship between law and society in the Roman world. This debate, which was initiated by the work of John Crook in the 1960's, has had a profound impact upon the study of law and history and has created sharply divided opinions on the extent to which law may be said to be a product of the society that created it. This work is a modest attempt to provide a balanced assessment of the various points of view. The chapters within this book have been specifically arranged to represent the debate. It contains an introductory chapter by Alan Watson, whose views on the relationship between law and society have caused some controversy. In the remaining chapters a distinguished international group of scholars address this debate by focusing on studies of law and empire, codes and codification, death and economics, commerce and procedure. This book does not purport to provide a complete survey of Roman private law in light of Roma
