SUMMARY:Septuagint, Synagogue, and Symbiosis: The Jews of Hellenistic Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Gary A. Rendsburg  Septuagint\, Synagogue\, and Symbiosis: The Jews of Hellenistic Egypt   The conquests of Alexander the Great brought Hellenism to the entire Near East in the late 4th century B.C.E.  No Jewish community reflects the symbiosis of Hellenism and Judaism better than the large and thriving community of Egypt – especially in Alexandria\, though in other locales as well.  They translated the Bible into Greek\, they built synagogues (called proseuche in Greek) dedicated to the Ptolemy kings and queens\, they wrote Jewish literature in Greek\, they were fully integrated into the society and the economy\, and in one case they even constructed a temple in Egypt (to rival the one in Jerusalem).Gary Rendsburg's Ancient Israel at Mandelbaum
