Special to The Jewish News

W

hether the fabled
Dead Sea Scrolls
are virtually dead
to the give-and-take of
scholarship was heatedly
debated at a recent sym-
posium on the scrolls at the
Institute of Semitic Studies
in Princeton, N.J.
As reported in the
Washington Post and the
New York Times, scholars at
the symposium charged that
they have not been given
access to the scrolls and that
those charged with their
translation have done so at a
laggardly pace. These two
factors have interfered with
some scholars' desires to
pinpoint whether the
original theory about the
scrolls still holds — that they
were the work of a small
sect, the Essenes — or
whether they were the ac-
cumulated wisdom of all
Judaism of the time.
"I have devoted my life to
the study of Hebrew
manuscripts, yet I cannot
see these treasures," the

Post quoted Norman Golb,
professor of Jewish history
and civilization at the Uni-
versity of Chicago.
The chief editor of the
scrolls, John Strugnell of
Harvard, retorted, "We are
not running a railroad. We
are running a very delicate
project of creative science."
Golb told the Times,
"There's no rational basis
for the Essene hypothesis."
He asserts that Qumran,
where the scrolls were
found, was a fortress, not the
Essene headquarters. And
he notes that one of the first
seven scrolls which contain-
ed rules of conduct for a
group of believers contained
no reference to celibacy, a
significant omission since
that was fundamental to
Essene life.
Weaning the scrolls from
the Essene hypothesis,
believes Golb, would open
the way for a new appraisal
of the ferment 2,000 years
ago when Christianity
began, most Jews turned
away from Judaism
dominated by the
priesthood, and rabbinical
Judaism took root.

Writer Charges Budget
Cuts Hurt USSR Emigres

As Mikhail Gorbachev has
eased up on Soviet Jewish
emigration, the Bush Ad-
ministration has made life
worse in the U.S. for those
emigres who get to our
borders.
That's the conclusion of
Esther Schrader, a former
reporter for the Los Angeles
Times whose New Republic
article, "Undertow," on
Soviet emigres in Los
Angeles is anything but
complimentary to Barbara
Bush's husband.

The west side of L.A., says
Schrader, is both port of en-
try and home to more than
40 percent of all the Soviet
emigres who have come to
the U.S. in the last two
years.
But federal money for
refugee welfare and
resettlement in Los Angeles
County dropped from $7.1
million in 1985 to $3.5
million this year, according
to Schrader. The cuts reflect
similar proportional reduc-
tions around the nation for
