Doron Witztum

Doron Witztum was a post-graduate physics student before Torah codes captured his attention in the mid-1980s when he became friends with Professor Rips. He and Professor Rips worked together systematizing a way of examining the Torah code phenomenon to formally test the hypothesis of whether or not they occur by chance. The result of their joint work was eventually published in Statistical Science in 1994. Since then Doron has dedicated his professional efforts to the development of advanced techniques for detecting and testing the Torah code hypothesis.

Alexander Rotenberg received his Ph.D degree in mathematics in the field of Probability Theory and Dynamical Systems in 1973 at the Moscow State University. After his aliyah to Israel in 1990, Dr. Rotenberg became familiar with Torah codes. This phenomena seemed so striking to him that he felt a need to independently investigate it on his own. He systematically investigated the way in which Torah commentators such as Rashi, The Ba’al HaTurim, and Rabbeinu Bachayay have the key words of their explanations appearing as ELSs near by the verses being … Continue reading
