Dead Sea Scrolls

This past Saturday, Michael took a few people from our church on a tour through the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Museum Center!  Thanks to Ben & Laura for watching Jman- I was able to go to!  Honestly, it reminded me a lot of Israel as we saw different pictures and artifacts from Israel and then saw the scrolls.  Michael did a great job pointing out everything and I feel like I learned a lot!  It was also amazing to think that we were actually at Qumran this summer where they were found!  Michael pointed out a manuscript of Psalm 119 that Michael pointed out a variation in the Hebrew word where they used a different script and word for Yahweh!  Since Hebrew Union is sponsoring the exhibit- they also had many pictures of Tel Dan where Michael dug this summer- he may be getting the itching to go back.  Then our sweet friends Mark & Becky V invited everyone back for some soup and fellowship!  I think we may have requests from a few others from church that may want Michael to lead a tour for them.
