THE UPCOMING EXHIBITION called "Cradle of Christianity," to be held in the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage near Cleveland, is covered briefly in Cleveland Jewish News. The Temple Scroll is the most famous artifact to be displayed, but there's more:
It features treasures from the Israel Museum, dating from the time of Jesus through the concurrent development of Judaism and Christianity in the 4th-7th centuries.

Many of these items will be on view for the first time in the U.S., and the Cleveland exhibition includes the first and only presentation outside of Israel of one of the most important Dead Sea Scrolls, the Temple Scroll. Other highlights will include the burial ossuary of High Priest Caiaphas, a graffito of the Menorah that stood in the Second Temple, and a stone inscription from the Temple Mount.

The exhibition starts at the end of March.
