Career
Rosenstein managed to avoid the British restrictions on Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine and settled there in 1925, where he changed his name to Even-Shoshan, a translation of Rosenstein, and initially worked as a laborer. In 1946-1958, Even-Shoshan compiled HaMilon HeHadash (New Dictionary of the Hebrew Language), which became known as the Even-Shoshan Dictionary. The completed dictionary consisted of 24,698 main entries.
He was also the author of the Even-Shoshan concordance and co-author of the Bialik concordance.
Even-Shoshan died in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1984.
