Question: In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, what is Lot’s wife’s name? I could not find it mentioned in the Torah portion.
Answer: The name of Lot’s wife was Eidis (possibly related to the secular name Edith). Her name is not mentioned in the Written Torah, but this tradition is recorded in the Midrash Pirkei d’Rebbe Eliezer at the end of Chapter 25 and the Midrash Yalkut Shimoni 19:84.
All the Best, Shlomo Shulman
