A history lesson for Obama

Obama and Israel Museum director James Snyder are discussing how remarkable it is that the Dead Sea Scrolls were preserved in such good condition. Earlier, Netanyahu read a passage from the complete scroll of the Book of Isaiah, the centerpiece of the Shrine of the Book display.

Obama is listening attentively while Netanyahu and Snyder explain more details about the scrolls. Looks like the visit is about to wrap up.
