NEW YORK (AP) - Ten new scrolls have been installed at the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition in New York City.
They replace 10 other scrolls that have been removed. The ancient scrolls must be rotated due to their fragile nature and sensitivity to light. "Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Biblical Time" opened at Discovery Times Square Oct. 28. It runs through April 15.Exhibition curator Risa Levitt Kohn says the newly installed scrolls include one of only six scrolls written with red ink and a Psalms scroll with poetry that is still part of Jewish liturgy today. She said the exhibition now has on display at the same time scrolls in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The exhibit is created by the Israel Antiquities Authority from the collections of the Israel National Treasures. # # # Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
