'Twill be interesting. Not being closely familiar with Judaism, my guess is that the little scrolls will be quotes from the Torah, possibly including verses from what Christians refer to as Deuteronomy chapter 6 (e.g., the shema). If my guess is correct, the dates of the little scrolls may prove interesting as date markers for the state of Hebrew Scripture manuscripts at those points in time. Also interesting will be whether the texts of the scrolls are consistent with modern Orthodox Jewish practices or different.
