I presented a lecture on “The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls” for the Spiro Ark. It was well-organized – all of the technological arrangements had been made as per my request – and well-attended. The fascinated audience stayed long after the lecture for discussion, questions and answers.

My host, Nitza Spiro, was very kind and gracious.
