In a message dated 96-09-19 07:51:41 EDT, you write: << Because they were the only group which did not participate in the War against Rome in 68! >> How does one explain the find of a DSS in Masada, if the Essenes were not participants in the war against Rome? Also, what "peaceful monk" wrote the War scroll between the War of the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness? Steve Abramowitz JD NYU
