Aaron Demsky, long-time professor of biblical history at Bar-Ilan University, created Bar-Ilan's Project for the Study of Jewish Names. For many years he trained students, organized conferences, and edited books. This work had a major impact on the field of Jewish Onomastic Studies, for which we thank Professor Demsky.
