Scholars in Judaic Studies and related fields are invited to contribute articles to Volume 11 of Mehqere Hag (Holiday Studies); A Journal of Jewish Culture, to appear in October 1999. This will be the second year in which articles will be published in English as well as Hebrew, with English-language summaries of the Hebrew articles.
Mehqere Hag is an annual devoted to all aspects of study of the Jewish Holidays.
Following are some, but not all of those fields in which articles have been published in previous issues

1. Holidays and Festivals in the Biblical Period
2. Holidays and Festivals During Second Temple Times
3. Holidays and Festivals During the Period of the Mishna and Talmud
4. Holidays and Festivals from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance
5. Holidays and Festivals in Modern Times
6. Holidays During the Holocaust
7. Holiday Folklore and Folk Customs
8. Holidays in Literature, Drama, and Art
9. Holiday and Festival Liturgy
10. Jewish Holidays and Festivals in the Church
11. Jewish Wedding Customs

Articles may be submitted in either Hebrew or English. Those written in Hebrew should include an English-language summary of 200-300 words, while those written in English should include a Hebrew-language summary of similar length. Those authors who find it difficult to write a summary in another language should submit a summary in the language in which the article is written.
Articles should be typed in Word for Windows (PC) . In addition to two copies of the typescript, please include a 144 MB (3.5) diskette containing the text.

Articles submitted for publication are given to at least two readers for evaluation, and authors receive written notification of acceptance or rejection. The editors reserve the right to make minor changes ( e. g., spelling, grammar). In the case of major changes (content, etc.), the article is returned to the author for corrections.
Authors of articles accepted for publication receive 3 copies of the issue in which their article appears.

The last date for submission of articles to Vol. 11 is 30 April 1999.
