Sarah Bunin Benor, a Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies at Hebrew Union College and the University of Southern California, and Jason Bronowitz, a rabbinical student and statistician, are studying Jewish names. The researchers have several questions: Which names do Jews and non-Jews associate with Jews? Who has a “Starbucks name”? Who gives their children Biblical names? Israeli names? Who gives their dogs names like Babka and Afikomen? Porkchop? It should take you (on average) 10-12 minutes to complete the survey. Your participation is voluntary, and you may skip questions or stop any time. You must be at least 18 to participate.



Results will be shared in several venues, including books, articles, and websites. By filling out this survey, you are giving permission for the researchers to include your responses in these venues. To maintain privacy, the survey does not ask for your last name. After you complete the survey, you will have the option of signing up to receive notification when the survey results are available.
