you maybe didn't hear of the (in)famous chicago meeting of sbl (1983?)
where one reviewer publically dumped neusner's translation in the trash.
(on tosefta? i wan't there that year.) neusner is not usually invited to
israel but that is a long story with entangled personalities.
the above is meant to provide a word of caution for using neusner. use him,
but only in conjunction with other material and sources.
