Judith L. V. Gerth, 86, of Chicago, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2024.
After a long and fulfilling career, she co-founded the American Friends of the École Biblique et Archéologique Française (AFEBAF) of Jerusalem, a charity dedicated to supporting the research work of the École.
This organization was a passion project for Judy, who traveled regularly to the Holy Land, receiving personal tours from leading scholars.
These experiences deepened her faith and fueled her passion for sharing her knowledge.
Judy’s dedication to the ÉBAF is a testament to her commitment to supporting the study of the Bible and her belief in the importance of the research conducted by the École.
