Greek In Jewish Palestine/Hellenism In Jewish Palestine

In this book, master Talmudist and scholar of the Greco-Roman world, the late Professor Saul Lieberman, elucidates words, texts, customs, and practices in either rabbinic or classical literature, often by reference to passages in the other. In “Greek in Jewish Palestine”, he demonstrates that “almost every foreign word and phrase have their raison d'etre in rabbinic literature” and that “all Greek phrases in rabbinic literature are quotations.” “Hellenism in Greek Palestine” is “an inquiry into the spirit of many rabbinic observations and investigations of the facts, incidents, opinions, notions and beliefs to which the Rabbis allude in their statements.”

As a student of Talmud, I found Professor Lieberman's book a valuable companion to both students of the two Talmuds and those seeking historically accurate facts about Jewish intellectual life in the Late Hellenist and Early Roman periods in the Middle East. Practices, decrees, and statements casual and instructive come to life in exciting ways.
