Join popular lecturer Toni McKeen and the Ridgefield Library via Zoom on Tuesday, October 15th at 4:00 pm as we discuss the fascinating topic of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Please register for the Zoom link.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient manuscripts that were discovered in eleven caves on the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea. They are approximately two thousand years old, most of them written in Hebrew, with a smaller number in Aramaic or Greek. The vast majority of the scrolls survived as fragments - only a handful were found intact. Nevertheless, scholars have managed to reconstruct from these fragments approximately 950 manuscripts of various lengths.
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls represents a turning point in the study of the history of the Jewish people in ancient times.
