Scattered Fragments: The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Cairo Geniza, and the Impact of Biblical Archaeology on Understanding of Torah Today with Rabbi Joe Rooks Rapport

What do the discoveries of Biblical archaeologists and medieval historians teach about the Torah for today? Who were the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls and how can these ancient texts provide us a window into their world? What are the treasures of the Cairo Geniza and how could they have been passed by for so many years before Solomon Schechter would "discover" their wonder? How can this "sacred trash" of wood and stone help us to understand the world of our ancestors and the Bible which they have passed down to us? The answer to these and other timeless questions awaits you as we study
