- Israeli archaeologist and co-director of the Enoch Seminar Hanan Eshel (1958-2010) passed away on April 8, 2010.
- American historian Ellis Rivkin (1918-2010) passed away on April 7, 2010, and American-Israeli scholar Moshe Greenberg (1928-2010) on May 15, 2010.
[[Note: 4 Enoch is a work in progress. In the first phase (Aug 2009 - Jul 2010) thousands of entries (abstracts of works of scholarship and fiction, biographies of scholars and authors, etc.) have been included. Consequently, the Encyclopedia appears today essentially as a wikified bibliography, providing a comprehensive survey of the history of research in the period.
The keywords associated to each bibliographical and biographical entry have generated numerous "Subject entries" or "Categories" (now existing in a draft form), which in the second phase of the project (Aug 2010 - Aug 2014) will be assigned to specialists and developed as original contributions to the study of Second Temple Judaism]]
