Melilah is an interdisciplinary electronic journal concerned with Jewish law, history, literature, religion, culture and thought in the ancient, medieval and modern eras. It was launched in 2004 by Bernard Jackson and Ephraim Nissan under the auspices of the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester as the New Series of the journal of the same name founded by Edward Robertson and Meir Wallenstein, published in Hebrew by Manchester University Press from 1944 to 1955. Five substantial volumes, each of around two hundred pages, were produced before the series was discontinued. In his editorial foreword to the first edition, Robertson explained that Melilah had been established to promote Jewish scholarship in the face of the threat posed by the War and its aftermath. The title of the journal refers to the ears of corn that are plucked to rub in the hands before the grains can be eaten (Deut. 23:25).

Contents (2008): Tobias Green, "Equal Partners? Proselytising by Africans and Jews in the 17th Century Atlantic Diaspora", David Lincicum, "An Index to Frey’s Jewish Inscriptions in Recent New Editions", Daniel R. Langton, "Some Comments on Micah Berdichevsky’s Saul and Paul", Dan Garner, "The Nature of Ultra-Orthodox Responses to the Holocaust", Giula F. Miller, "A Surrealist Reading: Formlessness and Non-Differentiation in Yitzhak Orpaz’s The Hunting of the Gazelle (Tseyd ha-Tsviyah, 1966) A Cycle of Three Stories".
