Welcome to the Website of Prof. Michael Avioz
Bible Scholar and Dean of the Faculty of Jewish Studies at Bar-Ilan University

As the Dean of the Faculty of Jewish Studies and a senior lecturer in the Department of Bible, I am engaged in academic research and teaching. I earned all my academic degrees at Bar-Ilan University, where I have been actively working for many years to advance knowledge and scholarship.
My academic publications include numerous books and articles that offer in-depth analysis of biblical texts and their interpretation throughout the generations. In recent years, my research has focused particularly on the early biblical exegesis of Josephus, a subject on which I have published two books and numerous studies.
Previously, I served as Head of the Department of Bible and as Head of the International MA Program, roles that enabled me to train generations of scholars and contribute to a deeper understanding of the Bible and its interpretation.
