The University of Wisconsin at Madison has one of America’s most active Hebrew studies departments. One fruit of the scholarly activity that goes on there is Hebrew Studies with its telling subtitle: A Journal Devoted to Hebrew Language and Literature
The journal spans the ancient and modern ends of the Hebraica spectrum, which means that it occupies a more generalist place on the shelves than some more focused journals.
It’s well-edited pages from time to time toss up an unexpected jewel in the area of biblical hebrew. As a specialist in that area, I use HS mostly to keep me in touch with an area I know little about, that being the modern end of the discipline. Extensive book reviews represent another value in this unsung but worthy journal.
