Today we woke up early for breakfast at 8 AM at the Masada Youth Hostel. We boarded the bus and headed to the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea. After a brief dip in the Dead Sea, I boarded a bus along with fellow fellows, the international staff from the main Diller office, plus some JCs.
At the caves we explored their history and their initial discovery by a young Bedouin boy in 1947. We went on a brief tour which explained certain cultural aspects of the yachad cult, the creators of the Dead Sea Scrolls. A group discussion was lead by the international staff about the significance of the scrolls as evidence for the validity of Tanach. After that, we went to go have lunch at the mineral beach.
