Since its publication in 2016, the En-Gedi scroll has been considered identical to the medieval Masoretic Text. My new paper suggests two new readings that challenge this conclusion, with implications for the stabilization of the proto-MT in the early centuries CE.
A new paper, co-authored with @BarakSober and Yishai Shor, proposes a new perspective on the number of scribes who copied the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaᵃ).
If you would like a copy of the paper (in Hebrew), feel free to email me.
My new paper on the redaction of the Primeval History in Genesis 1–11 is now in print. This paper received the 2025 SBL Freedman Prize, and I am excited to see it published!
DM me for a full copy.
Excited to share my latest paper, just published in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament. I hope you find it interesting!
These are complex times, but I’m excited to share some joyful news: I’m joining the Department of Jewish History and Bible at the University of Haifa, as a scholar of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple literature./1
My path so far has been long but deeply rewarding. I couldn’t have made it without things aligning at just the right moments and a great deal of hard workתmy own, and that of teachers, mentors, family, and friends who walked with me, supported me, and challenged me when needed./3

Pleased to share that this paper will be appearing online soon!
The paper argues that some SP major expansions are not merely copying Pentateuchal material from elsewhere but reflect selective copying that addresses contradictions and tensions inherent in the copied material.
