The Samaritan Passover

THE RUNDOWN | The Samaritans, a religious group parallel to Judaism, hold a ceremony with several stops in celebrating Passover. These stops include spots alluding to Abraham's life and practices derived from the Old Testament. Our Daniel Campos has the story.

אלוהים יברך אותך. יברך אותך האחים שלי. אנחנו בני ישראל ואנחנו אחד. אלוהים שלנו הוא החזק ביותר. אתה הדם שלי. אלוהים יברך אותך.

I am fascinated that they still use paleo-Hebrew writing! It's also interesting just how much Jesus mentioned the Samaritans and also answered the question of the Samaritan woman about where she should worship.

The Samaritans may have a slightly different religion to their Israelite brothers, but all the Israelites are the same in origin, and from the land of Israel.

Probably the closest look into ancient Judea

[donutman]

All followers of the Jewish religion need to return to the more traditional clothing and rituals of the Israelite peoples.

at minute 0:58 the Torah is written in Samaritan Hebrew Samaritan Aramaic (Babylonian ) and Samaritan Arabic a smart brain will ask, which is the Torah which I must learn to write?
my answer is, in Samaritan Hebrew, as Moses and Yehovah wrote the Torah and the 10 commandments,

I don't see women in the procession. Are they forbidden to pray with men or visit the holy sites. This is not a criticism just an observation

[tudormiller]

Amazing. I'm Christian, I'd love to become Samaritan. 😊

The shomrinim have been here since the beginning of humanity.

Müslüman tarikatların nerden çıktığını öğrendik.👍👍

The way they mark the end of Passover makes me think if Muslims imitate this when they practice Hajji.

There is three philosphical school among Jews. Saducees, Pharisees and the third one Essenes. Josephus
ps: Samaritans were alive at Josephus era

[ernestoescobar]

Yo wtf shouldn't they have ownership or at least representation of the land

[mustafaercumen]

İn Talmudic era: Samaritans come throw stone them
Now:We are all Jewish brothers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[uchihaitachi]

It's interesting how you can see Muslim practices coming from this, from the prostration to the walking around in a circle 7 times, you can see where Muslims got it from.

It is uncanny how their attires resemble that of Ottoman muslims…

[ali-onaissi]

Samaritans are much more authentic than Jews. Those who claim to be Jews are a terrible mix with Eastern European traditions that have nothing to do with original Judaism.

[miqq]

Same like muslims fajr prayers in mosques !

[SandyRiverBlue]

No women. Hmm. Tradition is a tricky thing, that which is beautiful today can be ugly tomorrow. Just look at bellbottoms and platform shoes for men...tacky as hell.

Samaritan are so similar to moslemm....prophet mosha also was moslem!!
