This has got to be the right answer! Perhaps the qumranites not only
translated biblical texts- but also, to earn extra shekalim, wrote reviews
for the tv guide of the day! Perhaps, indeed, the Rule of the Communtiy is
a tv review!!!
(just kidding, in case there are folk named Judith who think otherwise).
A bit of levity to bring a rather gloomy day to an end. Sorry, Avital.
