The Hebraic Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division, Library of Congress
Announcements: 1. Display of ancient Torah Scroll Sheet (March 28th - April 15th) We are delighted to announce that our recently acquired scroll sheet from the Book of Exodus will be on display just in time for Passover. So if turning your house upside down for Passover cleaning is not quite enough to get you into the festival spirit, we hope you will find time to come visit! The scroll sheet will be on display in the Great Hall of the Thomas Jefferson Building, near the Gutenberg Bible. If you haven't yet read about the Library's wonderful new acquisition, please see our Facebook post<https://www.facebook.com/pg/libraryofcongressinternationalcollections/posts/?ref=page_internal>. Just write "exodus" in the Search Box on the right. 2.
