Tel Aviv University archaeologist Oded Lipschits

Unfortunate last name...can you imagine the time he would have had in an American school with that?

Interesting article nonetheless....

Before I retired I worked with a guy in our Dept. (a Professor) whose last name was Lifshitz. He was from Russia originally. He changed his last name because he didn’t want his kids to be teased unmercifully in school. Wise that he made the change.
