Samaritan Passover Rite Marked By Isolation At Mt Gerizim
In Jordan, 345 Samaritans prepare a Passover ritual atop Mt Gerizim but Israel-bound worshippers are barred at Mandelbaum Gate for security. The community, numbering about 345, preserves Pentateuchal faith, a silver casket Torah, and a yearly ritual near Jerusalem. King Hussein funds the feast while Amran Isaac leads the priesthood. The passage notes long history of persecution and demographic shifts, with 130 crossing from Jaffa.
