Scroll Fragments Uncovered in Judean Desert "Directly Attest to the Jewish Heritage of the Region"


(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Avi Cohen, Director General of the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, said: "The scroll fragments containing biblical texts, the coins and the additional finds from the Second Temple Period that were found in this unique project directly attest to the Jewish heritage of the region and the inseparable bond between the Jewish cultural activities and our place in this land. It is very exciting to see these finds and expose them to the public, finds which shed great light on our history. These finds are not just important to our own cultural heritage, but to that of the entire world."
