Dear Targum colleagues, 

Given the situation in Europe, it seems that the SBL conference in Salzburg will take place without restrictions and that we as IOTS can physically join it. We look forward to meeting you again after four years or longer. 

The deadline of the Call for Papers, March 1st of this year, is approaching and we have received very interesting proposals. There is, however, room for more papers on Targums and Aramaic. Feel free to send in your proposal to e.van.staalduine-sulman@vu.nl. 

If you want to come to Salzburg, please, consider the following: It is wise to become a member of the SBL – at least for this year – and to register as a visitor of the SBL conference via sbl site: https://www.sbl-site.org/membership/joinnow.aspx. There are a lot of interesting sessions besides our Targum sessions (see https://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_ProgramUnits.aspx?MeetingId=40). Hotels can also be booked via the SBL site: https://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Internationalmeeting.aspx. 

We hope to see you all. Stay safe! 

Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman
