Jack:

Yesterday I read the NYT article which had no pictures, but it mentioned that 
the two silver scrollettes were written on both sides and not all of the 
writing was taken from the Bible. In the picture shown from Marianne‘s link 
in HaAretz, I noticed what appear to be a samech and tsada in the text, which 
indicates that this picture was not that of the priestly benediction as 
neither letter is in the benediction.

Like you, I‘d like to see the whole megillah, and with better images, this is 
just an apetizer.

Karl W. Randolph.
