Today's Samaritan community in Israel has dwindled to just some 800 souls. They do not consider themselves Jews but proudly declare themselves to be part of the Children of Israel. As a community in Israel they are unique in being entitled to carry both Israeli and Palestinian Authority ID cards. One of the Samaritans I came across on TH-cam rejoices in the name of Abdullah Cohen. Another is called Benny Sadaka...
Thankyou, showing anyone who wants to learn how to do that means a whole lot more than you might think. And oh yeah that animated rendition of yourself that you often put in you're videos is very impressive and really cool !🔯🕎
Matzo balls! The Ashkenazi world is deeply divided into two schools of thought on the matter. Did they come out as weighty cannonballs or light and fluffy examples? I think we should be told...
I’d also like to know about that. Are any other of the shevaitim from outside of the Levant in origin? Does their outsider status explain why Dan was considered the most “spiritually lowly” of all the shevatim.
3:31 Wait, in America you literally buy already-made chicken soup? And I totally agree with you about that powder. It is a remnant from the austerity (Tzena) period that people still use it.
Do you have some sources regarding how Judaism became Judaism up to and through King Josiah’s time? And if you have anything that hypothesizes about where Moshe came from because he has an Egyptian name, that would be great too.
I don't understand how all of the stereotypical traditional Jewish foods are impossible to make properly in Israel. They don't have the right potatoes, they don't have the right spices, I don't understand how they end up like this.
1. Israeli cuisine very deliberately embraces local and Sephardic cuisine as part of the Zionist ideal of rejecting European influence and using the native resources of the land. The vast majority of Ashkenazi food is entirely foreign to Israelis just as Yiddish is, and I don't see why it shouldn't be so. 2. Cayenne pepper in matzo balls is just a me thing.
@@SamAronow I wish Israeli society would “own” its European roots along side it’s Middle Eastern roots and celebrate them together. Although they tried to remove the cuisine of Ashkenazim, the concept of democracy, the rule of law, human rights, etc are very much European influences ideas. So in some ways Israel is extremely European.
You should do a video on why Genesis keeps mentioning Haran and the land around it and why it seems to have been so important to a certain sector of the Israelite people. The story of Jacob takes place to a considerable extent in the region of Haran. Abraham's brother Nahor and his family not only settle there but appear to be land owners. When Abraham commissions his (unnamed) servant to find a wife for Isaac the servant travels to Haran. When Jacob is fleeing from the wrath of his brother (or is he going to look for a wife) he too travels to Haran, So, clearly, the place had some importance to someone back then.
Your soup recipe differs from my family's primarily by the use of parsley rather than dill (we use fresh dill!), and we usually add in a parsnip as well.
I don't think I'd ever manage to convince my Polish family to add any sort of taste to our Matza ball soup... Maybe one day I'll get to taste what this recipie is like. Also, around 6:30, the subtitles say "Diesel golf" and "Decent Gulf" instaed of "Dizengoff". You may want to change that. Edit: Another one I noticed: around 9:10, Or said "The Paleshet, or the Plishtim", or "Peleshet/Philistines" if you want to use the common english names, not Palestine/Pristine as the subtitles say. Edit 2: At 13:28 I assume you said "Lesotho"? Because youw ere talking about surrounded countries. The subtitles say "Listened to".
I will admit that I am not as judicious with my subtitles on these videos, since it's much harder to transcribe and translate unscripted stuff. I started on it last night and will work on it a bit more.
Shavuot is where I run into trouble with these. I never celebrated it growing up, which means I don't have a go-to recipe for it. I don't even know where I might go to find some. Also, how did we get from the wheat harvest to a celebration of milk?
@@SamAronow when I was younger i was taught that when the Israelites were given the commandments on Shavuos they didn't know how to probably prepare the meats according to the Torah and were only able to eat dairy.
That sounds to me like a retroactive explanation. Unfortunately, since the holiday is so old, we'll probably never know for sure what the process was. This is why I don't much care for the First Temple Period.
2 things 1. Love the live action. 2. Your desire to take God/ religion out of being Jewish blinded that Cohanim =priest so of course other people have Cohanim why can't you accept that Lavey and Dan where one of 12 sons of Israel
There's no chicken stock in Israel,? C'mon folks, you're supposed to be the Jewish state. Why don't you have Jewish food in a Jewish country? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

I've met Benny Tzedaka! I visited him for my book and he had an excellent story about why the Samaritans now live in Holon.
If I recall correctly their reason for needing the PA cards is to access Jabal at Tur near Nablus
Will you make a video specifically themed on Jews' relationships to lesser known Asia Minor ethnoreligions like Mandæans, Samaritans, Druzetc?
"Tell me you're from Tel Aviv without saying you're from Tel Aviv."
"Everyone is either celiac or vegan."
And/or gay.

I love how Sam has on his shirt a sticker that says "I voted - I'm a superheroine"

There's a couple of spice venders in Machaneh Yehuda in Jerusalem that usually have cayenne pepper, but no guarantee
Matzo balls! The Ashkenazi world is deeply divided into two schools of thought on the matter. Did they come out as weighty cannonballs or light and fluffy examples? I think we should be told...
The latter.
@@SamAronow Phew! That's a relief. You're OK then...
canonballs left over for frying,and fluff for any thing else
¿Por qué no los dos?
Meatballs can be similar. I tend to prefer meatballs and even meatloaf to be on the lighter side
My mind is still blown because of ehat you said about the Dan and Levi tribe. Could you explain that a bit more?
I’d also like to know about that. Are any other of the shevaitim from outside of the Levant in origin? Does their outsider status explain why Dan was considered the most “spiritually lowly” of all the shevatim.
Yes, definitely interesting. Hopefully he can make more videos about each tribe and their origin.
would love more videos talking about how different festivals came together into the versions we know now! I know youve already talked about a couple
Matzah Ball soup is my favorite food and I’ve never came across a recipe for it that I wouldn’t devour. I will have to try this one out soon.
Very interesting and engaging video!
Tasted my best matzo ball soup in Los Angeles, not in the New York area that I grew up in. Will have to try your recipe
3:31
Wait, in America you literally buy already-made chicken soup?
And I totally agree with you about that powder. It is a remnant from the austerity (Tzena) period that people still use it.
You can. But at the very least, you can buy ready-made ציל עוף to make soup.
in America, chicken stock (basically flavorless base) comes in cartons, usually like the same shape as almond milk or something
@@thepablorz "Jewish penicillin" starts with fresh chicken!
Do you have some sources regarding how Judaism became Judaism up to and through King Josiah’s time? And if you have anything that hypothesizes about where Moshe came from because he has an Egyptian name, that would be great too.
Interesting, because some think Ethiopian Jews descend from the Tribe of Dan, if so what a story.
Chag sameach.

Excited 4 this !!
History is fascinating to study, and terrible to live through. Thanks for the discussion.
I love the soup
Edit: Cus I have it every year too
Shalom

That's some spicy matzoh balls, Sam! L'chaim!
"discussion of the old gods" :D

Did you turn on the automatic or the custom English subtitles? Because, if you have the automatic one activated, it explains most of the errors

@@SamAronow The final farewell (HaTsomekh or whatever it is, sorry I'm not Jewish so I don't know these things) came out ‘Hugs’, which is cute.
I've been eating matzo ball soup for 50 years and had no idea until now that they contained cayenne pepper! Also, do you like matzo brei?
So am I to understand that there is something to the Spartan claim to have a common origin with the Jews?
Cayenne pepper, good!
What about the tradition that Abraham came to the land of Canaan from Haran in Mesopotamia?
Whoa! That's a good bit of cayene!
5:28 Or my man, what are you doing...
Was doing a wine-tear test (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_of_wine); but moved quickly to the Matzo-balls with Sam's cue :D
@@OrWeis Hahaha, ok so you're a connoisseur. It looked like you'd been seized by madness and were about to pour the wine into the soup 😂
How was the Syrah with the matzo balls?
why separate the egg?
I don't know if it heresy or not..couldn't use it as a stuffing..I'm not an Hebrew but respectful them highly
Sam is too knowledgeable. His soup got cold!
your egg skills
Next culinary history should be dairy food on Shavuot, though they is really obscure to most audiences.
Shavuot is where I run into trouble with these. I never celebrated it growing up, which means I don't have a go-to recipe for it. I don't even know where I might go to find some. Also, how did we get from the wheat harvest to a celebration of milk?

Again, I guess…
There's no chicken stock in Israel,? C'mon folks, you're supposed to be the Jewish state. Why don't you have Jewish food in a Jewish country? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
As always, hype
Let's keep the hype rolling, shall we?
