Chol HaMoed at Har Greizim

Too late (at night) to post pictures, story, and everything.

Till I get my act together, here's a video I took today of Samaritan Yefet HaCohen reciting the "Shma" in the Samaritan dilaect of Hebrew.



Lots more to follow!


Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael טובה הארץ מאד מאד

  6. Joe -- Samaritan Cohanim were tested and do have the genetic marker.

    Rafi -- the eldest member of Yefet's family is the Cohen Gadol. If/When he becomes the eldest member, then he will become the Cohen Gadol.
