Qumran & Dead Sea Scrolls at EHJ 2026

The Dead Sea Scrolls represent our most direct window into Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. EHJ 2026 brings together international specialists in Qumranic studies, examining major scrolls including the Great Isaiah Scroll, the War Scroll, and related texts. Sessions explore the orthography of these manuscripts, their textual relationships to other biblical traditions, their religious significance, and what they reveal about Jewish beliefs and practices on the eve of the Common Era. For comprehensive scholarly research on these manuscripts, see the Institute's work on <a href="https://hebrew.edu.rs/dead-sea-scrolls-kumranski-spisi/" target="_blank" class="text-[#773E36] hover:text-[#5E302A] font-semibold">Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran research</a>.
