One of the best vedios giving true information
@@rajkumarsalvi743 No, mostly FALSE information. How do you or anyone else commenting here know what is true and what is false? I happen to be an expert on this subject. The others think because this guy sounds serious he is offering true info. Well, it's not, it's mostly made up. 90% of ALL information found on the internet is hogwash!
For some weird reason I always thought they were Christians. ❤
@@tudormiller887 Interestingly, in the summer of 1967 I toured Nablus, met Samaritans and spoke with them. They were just another subset of Arabs, who like Christain Arabs were not Muslim. I suppose they were not liked by Muslims for that reason and I seem to remember they were supported by the Greek Orthodox Church! However, they are monotheists like Jews and Muslims.
Mind blowing channel! I love your videos. I believe you're channel has great value. This is the 2nd video I've watched. I'm so hooked! ❤ from Toronto
Had a blast doing this with you Tal, thanks for sharing our story ❤😊
كل الاحترام
Thanks brother! Always a please
Fantastic clip. Thank you both!
Wow as an Arabic speaking white British Muslim I am amazed to see your Samaritan community! Is it true that you don’t accept any prophets after Musa عليه السلام ?
This is what Ibn Hazam says in his book on sects and religions. It’s amazing to see your name in Arabic and the fact that your community hasn’t done evil to us Muslims. When I saw a Saamiri prostrate like we do I was gobsmacked because according to us this is how all the prophets used to pray! The fact that you live side by side with Muslim and Christian Palestinians in friendship demonstrates your peaceful and fair nature as compared to others who are the complete opposite! I’m going to subscribe to your channel asap:)
@Phil Dodd (HistoriaAntiqua.ORG) It's not like you know what the hell you're talking about. Ashkenazim are Jews who were basically displaced from the Land of Israel to Europe due to the acts of European colonialists and occupiers. Exceptions among them don't prove the rule, which is that they've never identified as Slavs and they have very little genetic Slavic admixture. Many, like me, actually have none.
The question concerning you is whether you're an antisemitic prick or you were merely drunk when you typed your first comment.
All christians know about Samaritans from the Good Samaritan story and the Samaritan lady who Jesus spoke with at the well which made His Apostles nervous because they were jewish and had been taught to avoid Samaritans. But most of us never knew that they still existed or why they were shunned. Thank you Tal
Thank you for mentioning this! I never understood what exactly a Samaritan was, and now I want to visit! Much love to our family.
Didn't the Crusaders slaughter Samaritans???
Clashes between Jews and Samaritans in ancient times often had more to do with politics than anything else.
I had wondered about this! Thank you!
Samaritans are the real Hebrews.
its Hebrew Politics,. Historically, They are not The only Hebrews, Read what happens after the death of King Salomon and the tension that followed after which resulted in hatred between the Jews (Kingdom of Judah, Capital Jerusalem) and Israelite (Kingdom of Israel, Capital Samaria. Since the promise and the Temple were on the tribe of Judah and many Levites were serving in Judah with the Law, this made the Jews to feel more holier than the other tribes. We Know what Samaria did to try to prevent people from going to Jerusalem for fear that they might seek to reunite the two kingdoms again. It was all about politics, the facts is Both Jews and Samaritans are Descendant of Yakob(Israel), and they were all under the United Kingdom of Israel in what is in modern day State of Israel and West bank @@pvdp2
I really enjoyed learning from this video. Thank you so much for the fascinating tour and teaching.
Learned so much in this video! Thank you for making this!
Thoroughly enjoying this teaching as I have wondered this myself תודה רבה אחים
As a Jewish child in the US I learned the Hebrew months beginning with Nissan as the first month. This goes along with the Samaritan new year celebration in Nissan, which I believe was the original practice in the Jewish community too. I know we also used the ancient Hebrew alphabet, which the Samaritans use up to today, until we changed to the Hebrew alphabet we are all familiar with, during the Babylonian exile (an alphabet I love).
I believe we can learn from their traditions. There is no us and them. They are us.
While there similarities between modern Samaritan and paleo Hebrew, they are far from identical.
Although modern Hebrew supposedly derived from Babylonian chancery script, it’s very close to Imperial Aramaic.
Although the script used after the Babylonian exile became the standard for writing Torah and is recognisable today in modern Hebrew, paleo Hebrew was known during the Second Temple period, and was used as late as 132 CE on coins struck during the Bar Kochba revolt.
I think that the script was used on scrolls to write out the name of god (yod hey vav hey), even when the square script was used for everything else. But I could be mistaken about that.
So use the ancient Hebrew alphabet and spare us your liberal American hypocrisy.
@@brianfilemanYou're not very mistaken. Some DSSs were authored entirely in the paleo-Hebrew script, while some inscriptions kept being made in paleo-Hebrew throughout the Second Temple era. Seems like the higher ups among Babylonian returnees are those who initially introduced the use of the new script in the 5th century BCE or late 6th, which is really neo-Aramaic, while the more ordinary people or commoners tended to keep using the older.
@friendinpotentia Non-traditional Qaraite Jews and other Jewish Scripturalists still celebrate the new year in the First Month, Nissan.
The script used by the Samaritans is not the same as the Paleo-Hebrew, but a highly stylized version of it from late Second Temple times.
The Samaritans claim that their oldest extant Torah scroll was written by one of the first High Priests in the 2nd millennium BCE, shortly after entering the Land of Canaan. However, it's written in the Samaritan script rather than the "proto-Sinatic" script of the Hebrew alphabet that was in use at that time period -- a fact that shows the Samaritan claim to patently be a bold lie.
@@busterbiloxi3833why are you being an asshole?
This is a really fascinating appraisal of the shomrinim and the comments made by Abood Cohen at the end are excellent.
To modern-day Jews, Rosh Hashanah is considered the Jewish New Year. But traditionally, the Hebrew calendar actually has four “New Year” days: the first of Tishrei (Rosh Hashanah); the first of Nisan; the 15th of Shevat (Tu B’Shevat, or the New Year of trees); and the first of Elul, the New Year of animal tithes. The Torah specifically names Nisan as the first month of the Jewish calendar.
Nisan is the first month as far as the three major festivals-Passover,Sukkot,and Shavuot. Tishrei is the first month commemorating the creation of the world and man. So its not for "modern day Jews", Jews never celebrated Nisan as the Rosh Hashanah of mankind.
Don't overgeneralize about modern day Jews; I do not partake in this Rabbinical farce. The "Hebrew calendar" is the precalculated Rabbinical calendar and the only technical "Head of Year" other than the Aviv month a.k.a. Nisan is between Yom haKipurim and the Sukkot pilgrimage-Festival, when a Release/Sabbatical Year begins.
The real start of the year for all other intents and purposes should be Nisan.
The remainder is Pharisaic-Rabbinic fabrications.
@@madcatter1well said! It’s not a modern-Jewish thing.
In judaism we still celebrate all the 4 new years. We just finished tu'bshabbat
This series just keeps getting BETTER - I thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience! Thanks TAL!!!!
Thank you thank you thanks you!
So interesting. Thank you for the fascinating series! It's a pity I never really got to know any Samaritans during my years in the region.. but I think I have seen Abood in one of the documentaries. Wishing him and the community all the best & God's richest blessings!
Ashkenazis have 93% Levantine DNA and 7% European DNA, you can look that up easily. Nothing is antisemitic to people like you, meanwhile the actual Semites are the Jews and Samaritans, who cares right. Palestinians 93% Arab and 7% Levantine, deal with it. The Arab colonialists to the land of Israel are they. And you didn't even understand what I was talking about in reference to Abood. Ignorant people make the greatest offense receivers. In the 1920s the Samaritan population was saved from genetic collapse from centuries of inbreeding by starting to marry with Jewish women and starting in 203 with Ukranian women, so that today's Samaritan population is partly mixed with Slavic DNA. The book for you is Joan Peters, "From Time Immemorial" [the invention of the Palestinian people.] If anyone is anti-Semitic it's those people who abuse Semitic people AKA Jews whom the Palestinians are not.
Yitzhak Ben-Zvi was instrumental in establishing the Samaritan neighborhood in Holon and a visit there would make a very interesting video as well.
Fascinating. Absolutely loved this.

Wow! Really loving this young man Abood.
Thanks, I felt like I I took a real tour.
Simply lovely. ❤️❤️🙏
Oh my goodness what a fascinating experience!! Thanks for sharing!! I’ve had many questions about the Samaritans, and they were answered in this video!!
That's what I'm here for!
@@TheTravelingClatt May I ask you a personal question, please? Being with the Samaritans, and hearing their side of the story of history, has it in some way challenged your thoughts about the history of the Tanakh?
Frankly, I'd stick to the best source of info on everything Samaritan, namely their chief scholar Binyamim Sedaqa. Other Samaritans provide erroneous information and at times even intentionally deviate from the facts, for various reasons.
@@AbrahamsBridges If I recall correctly, he claimed that most Samaritans live in Qiryat Kuza with him. This is incorrect. I think he also argued the Samaritan script is known as paleo-Hebrew and is the original Israelite script, which is also incorrect.
For the rest I'd have to listen more closely.
@@AbrahamsBridges Another thing mentioned by a commenter named Zalmy KInn -- Abood claims in so many words that Judaism prohibits us Jews from performing the Passover slaughter-meal on the Temple Mt. This is definitely untrue in Rabbinic Judaism, that maintains it must be done even in a state of ritual impurity.
You nailed it!! a new content with a whole new level, well delivered
Appreciate you!
I speak fairly fluent Arabic, having lived in the Middle East for nearly 40 years. Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew have many common words, being Semitic languages.
Stop lying Hebrew has nothing in common with Arabic. In fact this fake Hebrew spoken by Zionist is dialect of German.
@@KIa._ > LMFAO < So Naziboys like you, who barely know anything about modern Hebrew, live in a parallel universe with its own linguistic rules, because no credible linguist would agree with your laughable argument. Modern Hebrew has influences from both Arabic and European languages, among others, with a solid core of a Hebrew template or basis.
Excellent and most interesting and informative. It should be a television programme! 🤗
Beautiful stuff!!!! I’d love to hear more about them!!
Wow! Amazing and interesting. I like this kind of vlog/ video. 👍🏼❤️
thanks, this is soooo informative video!!!! Cohen told ou so much info. I asked a jewish guy , who is very knowlegable about samatrians, and goes there ofen to explore them, asked basic things, but he didnt want to tell me nothing about samartians for free, but only in payed class. Im very grateful that you shared all this great info i was interested
So he is practically using Samaritans and getting info for free and then he makes money of those info?! Wow, that is really skam fraud of a person! He is selling culture of someone else!
Where from is that guy?
Who is Abood? Or the host of the show?
@@coeurdalene7320it's called a history teacher you plum
Peace and blessings, very educational thank you.
This is just fascinating! I love this video.
I applaud the friendship that Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second President of Israel had with the Samaritans. The Jews today should forgive the past and embrace the Samaritans as brothers.
It takes two to tango. Yefet/Hosni Kohen and Binyamim Sedaqa, for example, should abandon their anti-Judaism polemics.
Samaritans are jews. At least in my account.
Only people who descend from judah are jews moses was a jew@@lloydgush
@@lloydgushto say Samaritans are Jews shows a profound misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of what Judaism is, let alone what Samaritanism is.
Samaritans and Jews are both Israelites, and Hebrews. But Samaritans are not Jews, and Jews are not Samaritans.
The terms Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews all overlap but have different meanings, and adding Samaritans to those terms makes the differences of the terms even more obvious.
Judaism didn't split off from Samaritanism, nor did Samaritanism split off from Judaism. One group does not descend from the other. Their relationship is that of siblings, not that of parent-child.
When the Israelites were first exiled, neither Judaism nor Samaritanism existed yet, there was only Yawhist Israelite religion.
After the Babylonian captivity following the exile of Israelites from the Kingdom of Judah in the 6th century BCE., the Yawheist Israelite religion of the exiles evolved into Judaism, while the Yahweist Israelite religion of the Israelites who remained in the Land of Israel evolved into Samaritanism. Both groups did a bit of intermingling and miscegenation with non-Israelites during their time apart.
But I digress.
In the Hebrew Bible, the term Israelites is used interchangeably with the term Twelve Tribes of Israel. Although related, the terms "Hebrews", "Israelites", and "Jews" are not interchangeable in all instances. "Israelites" (B'nei Yisrael) refers to the people whom the Hebrew Bible describes specifically as the direct descendants of any of the sons of the patriarch Jacob (later called Israel), and his descendants as a people are also collectively called "Israel", including converts to their faith in worship of the national god of Israel, Yahweh. "Hebrews" (ʿIvrim), on the contrary, is used to denote the Israelites' immediate forebears who dwelt in the land of Canaan, the Israelites themselves, and the Israelites' ancient and modern descendants (including Jews and Samaritans). "Jews" (Yehudim) is used to denote the descendants of the Israelites who coalesced when the Tribe of Judah absorbed the remnants of the northern Israelite tribe, and by definition excludes the Samaritans, as "Samaritans" by definition excludes Jews.
When the exiles returned to the Land of Israel, and they encountered the Samaritans, the exiles rejected them and accused them of being foreigners in what the exiles claimed was only their ancestral land. Part of the reason for the rejection was that the religions that each followed was now so different. The Samaritans only had the Torah, but in exile the exiles developed Nevi'im and Ketuvim (the Prophets and Writings) which together became the TaNaKh. The exiles also came back with the Talmud. The exiles also came back with a new writing system, they had replaced the original Hebrew script for the Aramaic one, which is still in use today by Jews to write Jewish Hebrew, as opposed to Samaritan Hebrew which uses a direct descendants of the original Hebrew script.
So no, Samaritans are not Jews, and Jews are not Samaritans. Though they are both Israelites and Hebrews.
sorry but there is no jews ...
abood the legend. killin it
I truly enjoyed this super informative video. I studied about Samaritans, and I am very glad that the community was able to survive until today even the tiny shred of what it used to be. I am a Bukharian Jew, although I am aware that we are Israelites, and not all of us came from tribe of Judah. However, we follow modern Judaism because throughout the history we were exposed to wonderful Rabies that educated, and influenced our community. I truly wish to Samaritan community to prosper and significant increase in population. And please remember we are not cousins, but brothers. G-d bless you all ברוך השם
As part of their theological agenda and in keeping with their age old disdain for the truth, many Christians insist we Jews are merely of the Judah and Levi tribes.
In reality, we're descended from members of all 12 or 13 Israelite tribes.
Contrary to what Rabbinic Judaism has argued, (and the Christians attempt to cash in on for their own ends), the vast majority of Northern Israelites were not lost and actually became Jewish during Second Temple times.
@@ZviJ1 very interesting! havent heard that before. can you lead me to some resources about that?
@@benmogerman8230 Here's a copyrighted missive from Meir Rekhavi:
"Is There Such a Thing as the Ten Lost Tribes.
"The concept that some of the tribes of Yisrael become lost, hence the so-called "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel", is in fact a fallacy and goes against the Biblical and historical evidence. To understand this we must first analyse the etymology of the word Jew. The name is derived from the Latin Judaeus, which is derived from the Hebrew Yuhudhi (Judahite). Originally, the term referred to a member of the Tribe of Yuhudha (Judah). After Shelomo's (Solomon's) death the kingdom split into two, the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael and the Southern Kingdom of Yuhudha. The Kingdom of Yuhudha consisted of members of the Tribes of Yuhudha (Judah), Binyamin (Benjamin), Lewi (Levi), Shim'on (Simeon) and those members of the northern tribes that migrated to the south. The name Yuhudhi during this period referred to a citizen of that kingdom without prejudice as to their tribal affiliation. During the Roman occupation, the term was used for any Yisreeli, without consideration as to their tribal affiliation, who regarded Yerushalam as the Holy City regardless as to whether they lived in the Roman Province of Judea or in the Diaspora. During this period, any Yisreeli who regard Mt. Gerizzim as the Holy Mount was called a Samaritan. These terms stuck during the period of the Roman Empire and became common usage in those Christian countries that emerged in place of the Roman Empire, and are still in general use today.
"In Ethiopia, Arabia, and throughout the Parthian Empire of Persia and later the Sassanian Empire of Persia all Yisreelim without prejudice as to which tribe they were affiliated to were known as Bene Yisrael, Children of Yisrael.
"As pointed out above there were 9 tribes in the Northern Kingdom and not 10 - 10 tribal regions for Menashshe (Manasseh) had two tribal territories; one east of the river Jordan and the other west.. There were 4 tribes in the Southern Kingdom those being Yuhudha (Judah), Binyamin (Benjamin), Shim'on (Simeon) and those members of the tribe of Lewi who were residents of the Southern Kingdom, plus the Lewites from the Northern Kingdom who were expelled to the South, and there were many members of the Northern tribes who fled to the South. The Assyrian Empire destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael and the Babylonian Empire destroyed the Southern Kingdom of Yuhudha. The Babylonian Empire encompassed the same territory as the Assyrian Empire, which was destroyed by the Babylonia Empire in the year 612 B.C.E.
"Now, the regions to which the exiles from both the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael and the Southern Kingdom of Yuhudha were exiled to encompassed what is now Iraq and western Iran. The assumption that the exiles did not intermix with each other seems unfeasible seeing that their localities were in close proximity to each other, this can be backed up by Yehezkel (Ezekiel) chapter 3 verse 7 where the prophet is told to speak to the "whole House of Yisrael" that are in exile. It is therefore quite feasible that the Northern tribes intermixed with their Southern brethren when they were exiled.
"We must also bear in mind that according to the Annals of Sargon II, king of Assyria, he only deported 27,290 Yisreelim from the province of Samaria. The figure of 27,290 represents only a proportion of the population, there were in fact as many as 60,000 men of means in the reign of Menahem that is 20 years before the destruction of Samaria as can be ascertained by 2 Kings 15:19-20. These deportees would have been from the upper classes of the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael, and the lower classes would have been left on their own land under Assyrian provincial government.
"The reality that the majority of the population of the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael did not go into exile can be backed up by the fact that King Yihizkiyyahu (Hezekiah) of Yuhudha invited them to Yerushalem to celebrate the Pesah;
@@benmogerman8230 { Cntd. -- Pt. 2 }
"" And Yihizkiyyahu (Hezekiah) sent to all Yisrael and Yuhudha (Judah), and wrote letters also to Efrayim (Ephraim) and Menashshe (Manasseh), that they should come to the House of YHWH in Yerushalam, to keep the Pesah to YHWH the God of Yisrael. For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Yerushalem, to keep the Pesah in the second month. For they could not keep it in its time, because the Kohanim (priests) had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, nor had the people gathered themselves together to Yerushalam. And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. And they established a decree to proclaim throughout all Yisrael, from Beersheva' to Dan, that they should come to keep the Pesah to YHWH the God of Yisrael at Yerushalam; for they had not done it for a long time as it was prescribed. And the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Yisrael and Yuhudha, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, People of Yisrael, turn back to YHWH the God of Avraham, Yishak (Isaac), and Yisrael, and he will return to the remnant of you, who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Ashshur (Assyria). And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Efrayim (Ephraim) and Menashshe (Manasseh) as far as Zevulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. Only a few men of Asher and Menashshe (Manasseh) and of Zevulun humbled themselves, and came to Yerushalam." (2 Chron. 30:1-6,10-11)
"In verse 18 of the same chapter we see that members of the Tribe of Yissakhar (Issachar) were also among those who heeded to King Yihizkiyyahu (Hezekiah) and came to Yerushalam. We can also see that during the reign of King Yoshiyyahu (Josiah) of Yuhudha, over 80 years after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael, the general population of the former Northern Kingdom of Yisrael were still present in their territory, "And when they came to Hilkiyyahu (Hilkiah) the Kohen Haggadhol (High Priest), they delivered the money that was brought to the House of God, which the Lewiyyim (Levites) who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Menashshe (Manasseh) and Efrayim (Ephraim), and from all the remnant of Yisrael, and from all Yuhudha (Judah) and Binyamin (Benjamin); and they returned to Yerushalam." (2 Chron. 34:9)
"We also read that King Yoshiyyahu (Josiah) kept a Pesah not unlike King Yihizkiyyahu (Hezekiah), "And the Children of Yisrael who were present kept the Pesah at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days. And there was no Pesah like that kept in Yisrael from the days of Shemuel (Samuel) the prophet; nor did any of the kings of Yisrael keep such a Pesah as Yoshiyyahu (Josiah) kept, and the Kohanim (Priests), and the Lewiyyim (Levites), and all Yuhudha (Judah) and Yisrael who were present, and the inhabitants of Yerushalem. In the eighteenth year of the reign of Yoshiyyahu (Josiah) was this Pesah kept" (2 Chron. 35:17-19). 1 Chronicles also reveals that after the return from the Babylonian Exile members of the tribes of Menashshe (Manasseh) and Efrayim (Ephraim) settled in Yerushalam along with members of the tribes of Yuhudha (Judah) and Binyamin (Benjamin), "And in Jerusalem settled, from the Children of Yuhudha (Judah) and from the Children of Binyamin (Benjamin); and from the Children of Efrayim (Ephraim) and Menashshe (Manasseh)" (1 Chron. 9:3).
"When we read verses in the Miqra such as, "The envy also of Efrayim shall depart, and the adversaries of Yuhudha shall be cut off; Efrayim shall not envy Yuhudha, and Yuhudha shall not harass Efrayim." (Isa. 11:13) we must remember to read them according to the Peshat, the plain meaning. Such verses as the one I have just quoted were conveyed to Yisreelim in a form that they could understand. This verse from Yesha'yahu is political in nature and has nothing to do with any so-called lost tribes, I will proceed to explain. After the death of King Shelomo the United Kingdom of Yisrael split into two, there was constant rivalry between the two kingdoms, which on many an occasion led to war between them. Therefore, such terms as "envy" are appropriate to the situation that existed between the two kingdoms. Why was the Northern Kingdom therefore referred to as Efrayim and the Southern Kingdom referred to as Yuhudha? The reason for this can be found in the Miqra. The ruling house of the Southern Kingdom was the House of Dawidh (David), which came from the Tribe of Yuhudha. The first king of the Northern Kingdom was Yarov'am (Jeroboam) who hailed from the Tribe of Efrayim, therefore the names Efrayim and Yuhudha became synonymous with the two kingdoms. If one looks at Yehezqel chapter 48 we notice that each of the tribes of Yisrael is given their new allotted tribal portions, so obviously come the Messianic Era each and every Yisreeli will be told as to which tribe they belong.
"In conclusion to such verses as, "The envy also of Efrayim shall depart, and the adversaries of Yuhudha shall be cut off; Efrayim shall not envy Yuhudha, and Yuhudha shall not harass Efrayim." (Isa. 11:13) the prophets are stating to the people, who, remember lived at the time of the two kingdoms, come the Messianic Era there will not be two kingdoms in Yisrael as there was during the time of the Prophets, but one united kingdom under the rule of the House of Dawidh as it was during the time of Dawidh and his son Shelomo.
It must born in mind that when "Jews" use the term "Jew" they are using it in the modern sense of the word i.e. the whole House of Yisrael. The term Jew has come to replace, right or wrong, the term Children of Israel. In fact amongst modern "Jews" you can find "Jews" that belong to all the tribes of Yisrael; Kohanim (Priests) and Lewiyim (Levites) belong to the tribe of Lewi. My brother in law whose family are 'Iraqi "Jews" claim descent from the tribe of Naftali. I have known North African and Yemenite "Jews" who claim descent from all the tribes of Yisrael. Therefore, the term "Jew" has become synonymous to Children of Yisrael, this not to say that the whole of the Children of Yisrael have become the House of Judah, nor that the descendants of the Northern Kingdom don't exist, but that all the tribes of Yisrael are intermixed and very few Yisreelim (Jews) apart from members of the Tribe of Lewi know to which tribe they belong to. Consequently, all of the Children of Yisrael, no matter to which tribe they belong are known as Jews.
Some claim that the Celts and Anglo-Saxons are descended from the so-called lost tribes (who in fact aren't lost), however, there is no evidence to sustain this theory and besides neither the Celtics nor the Anglo-Saxons (who are a Germanic people) retained any tradition in support of such a theory. This novel theory first came to light in 19th century England and was started by certain Christian fundamentalists being based upon Christian replacement theology; whereby the Christians are the new Yisrael. These Christian fundamentalists took this theology one step further and claimed that Christians are not just spiritually the new Yisrael but are in fact descended from Yisrael. During the long centuries of Exile many a Yisreeli has assimilated into the various nations in whose midst they dwelt, therefore it is not uncommon for many a Gentile to discover that there is Yisreeli ancestry somewhere in their family tree. However, there is a fundamental difference between a Yisreeli/Yuhudhi whose ancestors have an unbroken chain of tradition of being Yisreelim and someone who believes or thinks that some of his ancestors might have been Yisreelim."

Oh wow! Abood’s the guy from the podcast!!! I’m stoked to learn of this!!! TYSM!!!
Thank you so much guys! I would love to go on tour with Abboud. May God give me the opportunity.
This Cohen guy had such a calm sounding voice, very soothing to the ears. Also his English was flawless.
Another interesting vlog 😀 So much to learn. Thank you for sharing this to your subscribers 🙏 Be safe always ❤️
My absolute pleasure
I’m driving through Israel on my trip around the world on a motorcycle in a few weeks. Pumped to listen to your video!
Hell yeah man! Go visit some of the beat track locations from the videos you'll have a blast!
@@TheTravelingClatt sweat! I’ve added watching those to my current list of material. Im in turkey right now for a couple more weeks editing 20 vlogs or so before heading east.
utterly fascinating bravo
Ashkenazis have 93% Levantine DNA and 7% European DNA, you can look that up easily. Nothing is antisemitic to people like you, meanwhile the actual Semites are the Jews and Samaritans, who cares right. Palestinians 93% Arab and 7% Levantine, deal with it. The Arab colonialists to the land of Israel are they. And you didn't even understand what I was talking about in reference to Abood. Ignorant people make the greatest offense receivers. In the 1920s the Samaritan population was saved from genetic collapse from centuries of inbreeding by starting to marry with Jewish women and starting in 203 with Ukranian women, so that today's Samaritan population is partly mixed with Slavic DNA. The book for you is Joan Peters, "From Time Immemorial" [the invention of the Palestinian people.] If anyone is anti-Semitic it's those people who abuse Semitic people AKA Jews whom the Palestinians are not.
Thank you guys.Love u from 🇫🇯

Very nice beautiful vlog. Beautiful. Place.thanks
Fascinating stuff. Would love to see you do a video on the ancient Karaite community in Israel.
Karaite are a fairly new phenomena
Within the last 1800 years or less.
@@cherylconway749 That could not be more wrong. I am talking about the original Karaites from Egypt. Karaism dates back to at least the first and second centuries BCE, during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus ("King Jannai"), king of Judaea from 103 to 76 BCE. In fact, the oldest synagogue in Jerusalem is Karaite.
@@blaqmouse1 you’re mixing things up. The karaites are a medieval post-exilic sect of Judaism. It didn’t even arise in Israel but somewhat north of it.
What you were probably thinking of is the sedducees, who were a superficially similar sect that existed around the time you mentioned.
Both these sects disputed with what later came to be called “rabbinic Judaism”. The difference is that the seduces were founded by a man named tsadok, and the karaites by a man named Anan, almost a thousand years later.
@@seansean1728 The oldest synagogue in Jerusalem is a Karaite synagogue. I never claimed that it arose in Israel… What exactly did I mix up?
@@seansean1728 The fact remains that Israel has a significant Karaite population. Never said it arose there.
Good to hear that the community is growing and gene pool expanding with the community able to integrate new people into the faith. Now, we need to find a wife for Abood. He's such a good man, a real leader for his community.
@jin gu there's a real danger if the community doesn't allow and accept marrying out then they will have very real health issues but also many young people will simply leave. Maybe the Samaritans can be like the Jewish Hassidim and have very large families, that's not for me to say, but that's a huge change in the very culture of the community and maybe impossible to accomplish, even if people wanted to. Then what becomes of the Samaritans?
@jin gu erm, they were down to 140 people at the beginning of c20 and only 800 now. It's *surviving" in the barest form of the meaning. Would you like to be a young man/woman and have the choice of only a few dozen men/women you could marry? Birthrates are also lower, so that won't get better soon. The community decided to marry out because the community decided they had to because otherwise they wouldn't have survived. There are also more men than women in the community so many men couldn't marry.
Abood already has a Samaritan spouse -- he mentioned it a few years ago, in a separate broadcast that you hadn't watched.
@@ZviJ1 yes, thanks just seen that video! So glad for Abood and for the Samaritan community.
He will find himself a matching one.
Very interesting and informative Tal. Shana Tovah

One of the most extraordinary documentaries of a people. The Samaritan gentleman is a mensch.
The Tabernacle was the "Mishkan", which was like a portable Temple. It was only used before the Permanent Beit Hamikdash(Temple) was built in Jerusalem.

This is an amazing chapter of Jewish history. The Samaritans are definitely Beni Yisroel, we’re all part of the same family but we’ve been separated for so long…this history is So important to know! Thank you for sharing Aboud Cohen with us. We who follow the Torah are all Jews❤
Not Jewish history this is Hebrew history
Yes the sentiment is right, but kind of missing here.
They are not jews, like Karaim for example.
They are Israelite, and that's israelite/hebrew history.
I really loved this!!! Moshe you look good in glasses
I'm so glad u did!

@@ZviJ1 your comment on my comment does not make sense
@@cavalier2097 Sending it here was the only way it could get posted; when I posted it in direct response to a certain Phil Dodd (who had made far more inane arguments), it kept disappearing. Of course you don't have to agree with the comment.
@@ZviJ1 TH-cam Fluke.
@@cavalier2097 FWIW- as far as what you originally wrote, thousands of people follow Samaritanism worldwide. They are the equivalents of the gentiles who follow some version of Judaism without converting to it. The chief Samaritan scholar, Binyamim Sedaqa, clarifies that the only way to be a full-fledged Samaritan is to convert to this religion while residing with them in Israel for 3 years, after which it's mandatory to continue living there forever while constantly practicing this entire lifestyle.
During the exile of the Jews in Babylon, some Jews were allowed to remain in Israel to help the occupiers. I think they settled in Samaria or were already settlers in Samaria (I am not sure), and had mixed marriages with the non-Jews (which is against the cultural values of the Jews). This mix marriage is what had strained the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans. Jesus revealed himself to a samaritan woman who was ostracized in the community for having relationships with many men. A samaritan man was lauded by Jesus for generously helping a man who was left dying in the road. He gave that action of the samaritan man as an example of generosity and compassion to those who need help regardless of race and belief. These are only two important narratives with samaritan characters that Jesus told his disciples to point out important christian values. Thanks for this video. I got to know more about the samaritans. As I watched this video, I was thinking now that Jesus had been trying to reconcile the Samaritans with the Jews. By the way, the Samaritan-Jews existence in Israel is a proof that the Jews were in Israel since ancient times.
Neat to hear this young man use the word Masoretic. Masoretic Hebrew came from (Syriac) Aramaic. The people who lived in Judah picked up on the different dialect that Peter used, that's why they asked 'were you with Him?', they could tell Peter was from another area, which used the Ancient Aramaic.

Between the vehicle noise and the children, it's difficult, at times, to understand what he is saying. He has a soft voice, so at times I am missing words.
@31:26 ... As a Christian, that is one of the things prophesied about Jesus' death, that "none of His bones will be broken". From the initial scourging to his side being pierced by the Roman soldier to His death on the wood or stake (doesn't say 'cross'), none of the bones of our Passover lamb were broken. :)

Very interesting. Jews, Samaritans and Muslims have so much in common.

One of the best things i ever saw on TH-cam.

I learned something new today.
I loved this
Awesome, tour. Thanks for sharing your community’s culture, Abood. Thanks for making the video, Tal. I think I saw Abood on Bahador’s language video :)
Every video I see about modern-day Samaritans, this guy Abood Cohen is the spokesman. I know there community is practically an endangered species at this point, so it makes sense that they always deferr to him. He might as well be the official spokesman of the Samaritan community in Israel, if he isn't already.
As a Palestinian Muslim from Nablus I think not a 100% sure that I have Samaritan ancestry since from my fathers side we come from Jews who had converted sometime ago ago and they most likely were samaritans given that a huge number of Samaritans live in Nablus and also other factors. Whether I am or not is irrelevant but what matters is how they managed to survive, there are like only a couple hundred Samaritans left its insane how they made it. I am actually impressed.
The easiest way to tell Samaritans and Jews apart is that the former don't care for Jerusalem and the Jewish Bible. I doubt you're descended from both, but it's not impossible altogether.
That they survived was *despite* and not because of the local Muslims a.k.a. Palestinians, who spared no effort to persecute them. This included threatening them not to chant in their synagogues loud enough for their worship to be heard outside of their synagogues. All the oft made claims anti-Zionists like to fling that Samaritans lived peacefully alongside Muslims in historical Israel since Muslims arrived there is a pack of bold lies.

Incredible! What a treasure.
Just a correction: this is not paleo-hebrew. This is samaritan script, which is closely related to paleo hebrew. But it is not paleo hebrew.
Same thing with the pronounciation. This is not ancient hebrew, it is samaritan hebrew. It is not the same as biblical hebrew pronounciation. As it was stated, the samaritan gutturals are very weak, and this is not the case with biblical hebrew. The modern dialect that is more similar to biblical hebrew is iraqi and yemenite hebrew.
What you call Biblical Hebrew is nothing more than the ancient Hebrew dialect spoken by Jews in Israel. Samaritans had own ancient Hebrew dialect. There have always been differences between our Hebrew and Aramaic dialects.
It should also be noted that Samaritan Hebrew is closer to Levantine Aramaic in many ways, whereas Jewish Hebrew is closer to ancient Northern Arabic in other aspects).
You can see that the samaritans look 100% like the rest of Palestinians (muslims, jews and Christians).
The colonizers coming from Europe look nothing like them.
Agree
Lol ridiculous
No ridiculous

Muslim women do come to the mosques for prayers but have their separate section in the mosque which is secluded. There's no mingling of the two genders within the confines of the mosque. Most Muslim women though are encouraged and do pray at home.
Abood omitted a crucial fact in this regard: as far as the Torah determines, during much of the year the women are in a state of ritual impurity due to their monthly periods and post-birth periods and they're not allowed to enter the synagogues during them. This is the case also in Qaraite Judaism.
From that to urging the women not to come at all "just as a safety precaution" the distance is rather small, and one easily gets the near total absence of women in Samaritan synagogues.
@@ZviJ1 Sounds similar. In Islam women are exempted from daily prayers and any other religious ritual when they are in their impure state as well. Even men have to be in pure state before they perform religious rituals.
@@f1aziz Qaraite women that can formally pray without holding prayer books because they happen to know the prayer contents by heart actually must continue praying outside of synagogues.
@@ZviJ1 Very similar. Most Muslim men and women memorize Quranic verses as kids. Muslim, regardless of gender, learn to properly perform prayers on their own within or outside the mosque.
@@f1aziz There are varying degrees of impurity, the worst being Death Impurity. One school of thought in Qaraite Judaism holds that also impure men should not enter a synagogue. Another permits it, provided that the most impure remain at the sanctuary's rear.
8:45 the pronouncement sounds arabic but also different also iraqi somewhat
So mind you Abraham is from Ur mesapotamia which is modern day Iraq
I bet ya that must sound really traditional and very old
That just no coincidense there you would think
So yes very very interesting there
I love Samaritans, greetings from Armenia 🇦🇲
I would be interested in their perspective about the messiah…
Samaritans are the link between modern Israelis and Palestinians. It is believed by some scholars that up to 60% of modern-day Palestinians descended from ancient Israelites but converted to Christianity or Islam at some later point.
Others claim the figure is as much as 85%. The 60% argument is more accurate.
Apparently the Christian "Palestinians" descend mostly from the Jewish Christians of the first few centuries AD and Byzantine era Samaritans.
Also many of the Muslim Palis in Samaria trace back to Samaritans, but those are of later periods.

Jews is another word for Israelites. The term samaritans first appeared in scripture after the conquest of the ten-tribe kingdom of Samaria in 740 B.C.E; it was applied to those who lived in the northern kingdom before that conquest as district from the foreigners later brought in from other parts of the Assyrian Empire.
This was eye-opening. I never knew Samaritans were so closely related? to us.
Why, they are Israel of the northern kingdom tribes, of course we are related
@@cherylconway749 short answer, lack of awareness.
@Danny Al actually im married to a kohen his father changed his name to get t into university in the 50s.
It worked, but he decided not to go.
I'm of the tribe levi
We keep our Hebrew names for official jewish law.
So yes we do know our tribal heritage
* Lack of awareness comes from somewhere, like inertia -- most Jews preoccupy themselves with making a living and, at most, learning about and celebrating Judaism in the familiar Jewish versions. It doesn't occur to them to study Jewish history from *all possible angles*. This is why most Jews tend to know far less about anything related to the Qaraite Jews and the Samaritans.
* Only some of those Samaritans in the haplogroup J1-P58 clade are of Israelite origins. This may not be a popular statement, but it's true genetically and historically.
@Yakov Shani I wasn't getting the idea that he was saying "We are Jewish" though. It didn't sound like he was trying to have them identified as being Jewish.
Sweet deal! Another Israel video!
Tal your diction is beautiful! I can listen to you all day brother!!!
I believe the story of the Good Samaritan (Lu 10:30-37) if read symbolically, demonstrates to us how this term "Samaritan" has taken a noble meaning even today. The story has it that a man was robbed/beaten by bandits going from Jerusalem to Jericho. A priest and a Levite pass by without helping him. But a Samaritan stops, cares for him, even taking him to an inn where the Samaritan pays for his care. The parable shows us our society, communities and relationships are not permanently broken, even with the wars/conflicts going on today.
I was visiting samaritans in Holon. It was interesting.
