Temple B'nai Shalom (Children of Peace) is a Reform congregation dedicated to enriching the lives of our congregants through worship, education, community, social action and support of the Jewish people and Israel.

In the News
Some of the oldest texts displayed include a copy of the Book of Deuteronomy, which includes the Ten Commandments, and part of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis. There are also a number of copies of Psalms scrolls, letters and documents hidden by refugees fleeing the Roman army during the Bar Kochva revolt and hundreds of 2,000-year-old texts.
IAA Director Shuka Dorfman said, "Only five conservators worldwide are authorized to handle the Dead Sea Scrolls. Now everyone can touch the scrolls on-screen around the globe and view them in spectacular quality."
The data will enable scholars and millions of users worldwide the opportunity to decipher details invisible to the naked eye, the IAA said.
The library was assembled over two years in collaboration with Google using technology developed by NASA, the IAA said. Google provides hosting services, Google Maps, image technology and YouTube. The Lone Levy Foundation, the Arcadia Fund and the Yad Hanadiv Foundation provided funding for the project.
The library can be viewed at www.deadseascrolls.org.il.
