„Gemeinsam sollen sie essen, gemeinsam Lobsprüche sagen und gemeinsam beraten“ (1QS 6,2–3). Überlegungen zum Gemeinschaftsmahl der Gemeinde von Qumran
1QS 6:2–6 and 1QSa 2:11–22 are small texts about communal meals in the community of Qumran. The question is whether those meals are connected to commencing and concluding prayers. Prayers with special elements of graces before and/or after meals do exist, but they are never explicitly connected to meals. Comparisons with Christian Eucharist and Rabbinic prayers are ineffective.
