Contributions in biblical and second temple studies cover Amos, Ben Sira, Esther, 2 Maccabees, Judith, WIsdom, Qumran Psalms, and James. Contributions in Jewish studies cover nuptials and benedictions after meals, Adon Olam, the Passover Seder, Amidah, the Medieval Palestinian Tefillat ha-Shir, and other aspects of rabbinic liturgy.
