Quote of the Day

Magen Broshi, a senior Jerusalem-based archeologist and the ex-curator of the “Shrine of the Book” who subscribes to the central theory regarding the [Dead Sea] scrolls, said once in a public lecture: “There are  twelve theories regarding the origins of the [Dead Sea] scrolls. These theories are conflicting, which means that eleven must be  incorrect; let me tell you which is the correct one.” A voice came from the audience: “At least eleven!” which was followed by an immediate reply from another audience member: “You must be a mathematician!”
