JERUSALEM—Red-stained skele- tal remains have cast a new per- spective on the cultural practices of the Qumran Sect, it was re- vealed in a study carried out by Dr. Nicu Haas, senior lecturer in anatomy at the Hebrew University- Hadassah Medical School. The re- mains revealed the presence of women in the community. In 1968 Dr. Haas, together with other researchers, beg an an anthropological study on 11 skele- tons dating back to the 2nd Century BCE, found at the Qum- ran cemetery near the Dead Sea. The findings showed that these were the remains of six men, four women and a child of two, proving conclusively that the sect was not an all-male community as previ- ously thought. Dr. Haas' findings contradict claims that the community served as a monastic-type hermitage. Writing in the 1st Century CE, the Jewish historian Josephus Flavius asserted that the Essenes, a brotherhood of Jews to whom the Qumran Sect belonged, were a monastic society. Similarly, 10 years ago a French archeologist claimed that there were no females at Qumran. "The presence of females was only the first discovery," says Dr. Haas. "Another was a purplish- red stain found in the bones." Chemical analysis led to the con- clusion that the stain was derived from alizarin, the pigment of the madder root, which is common to the region. It was known that the pigment was widely used as a natural dye for clothes. The presence of alizarin can be explained by the penetration of the dye from clothes after burial, but in such a case the sect could not have been Jewish, as Jews are buried without clothes. The alter- native solution was that the stain occurred after ingestion of the madder root. It is known through the Talmud that it was a custom to use the madder as a garland amulet to prevent diseases magically, al- though the rabbis condemned this as superstitious and pagan. Jo- sephus, too, mentions the use of roots which were made into a drink to prevent diseases. LAS VEGAS — "Shalom" is a favorite expression of the new bishop of the Nevada Episcopal Diocese. The Rt. Rev. Wesley Frensdorff, ordained last Saturday to the new post, was a German Jew whose parents died in a Nazi concentra- tion camp. The Hanover-born bishop Frens- dorff, 45, was honored in a Las Vegas Strip convention hall, dec- orated with flags bearing the names of towns throughout Ne- vada. One read simply "Shalom," peace. R.I. Gov. Licht Praises Histadrut at Testimonial PROVIDENCE (JTA)—The Na- tional Committee for Labor Israel (Histadrut) held its first event here and raised $23,000, according to a spokesman for the group. The event, a dinner in honor of Gov. Frank Licht, was attended by 425. The proceeds of the dinner will go toward establishing a His- tadrut scholarship fund in the name of Gov. Licht for underprivileged children in Israel. Licht told the dinner guests that he has been in Israel several times and was highly impressed with the achievements of Histadrut.
