SAMARITAN WATCH:
Samaritans celebrate Shavuot atop Mount Gerizim The Samaritan religion closely resembles Judaism, but with several marked differences, including its own Torah written in their own ancient Hebrew, and Mount Gerizim being their holiest place (Jerusalem Post). The celebrations began this morning. As always, best wishes to those celebrating.
