     In general, I believe that the idea that Qumran was some sort of a 
community of monks is long dead

	I have no way of evaluating either how much of the article was 
newspaper hyperbole nor do I attempt to evaluate the scholarly findings 
(beyond examining the logic of *both sides* of the future arguments sure to 
erupt, I'm not convinced by either side so far).  But the recent Jerusalem 
Post article about Broshi's and Eshel's findings, that I earlier asked for 
comments on, was headlined "New evidence nails down Qumran theory." Broshi 
still maintains Qumran was a monastery.  (The article by Abrahamn Rabinovich 
appeared 96.04.05, p. 8.)
