The researcher explains: This is how two calendar traditions were discovered at Qumran

• In the podcast "Tel Aviv 360" of Tel Aviv University, Prof. Ashbel Ratzon spoke about a study that identified two groups of calendar scrolls: one tracked lunar phases and included only the Torah festivals, while the other ignored the moon and added agricultural festivals that are not celebrated today. The differences may indicate an internal dispute and groups with differing views within the Qumran community.
