A DEAD SEA SCROLL REPLICA will be on display next week at the Kaleidofest Festival in honor of Israel's sixtieth anniversary:
KaleidoFest also will celebrate Israel's scientific, medical and technological achievements, including work with the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. Part of the exhibit will feature a replica of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Biblical documents in the world. The St. Louis Jewish community owns one of only four facsimiles of the scrolls outside of Israel, according to Rabbi Brad Horwitz, director of the JCC's Helene Mirowitz Department of Jewish Community Life.
