THE ISRAELITE SAMARITAN CHOIR RETURNED HOME AFTER SUCCESSWFUL JOURNEY TO GIRONA, SPAIN
July 28 – August 2, 2013

Successful Journey

The Israelite Samaritan Choir has returned home to Israel after successful journey to Girona, Spain where the choir participated in the "Conference of Mediterranean Voices" of Coral Music in July 28 – August 2, 2013.

The Israelite Samaritan choir consisted the conductor and organizer Benyamim Tsedaka from Holon and six prominent singers of the Israelite Samaritan community: Priest Yitzhaq b. Phinhas and Ovadia b. Priest Nethanel from Mount Gerizim; Yefet b. Ratson Tsedaka and Nathan b. Matzliach Yehoshua from Holon, Ammit b. Yitzhaq Marchiv from Mount Gerizim; Rebacca [Ricky] Bogatin, an Israeli professional singer from Tel Aviv, who learned to sing Samaritan songs. Also the choir tested the joining of Yafor Cohen from Holon.


The History of the Choir that Making History
The Israelite Samaritan Choir performed in different ensembles since summer 1980 and gains much interest among seekers of ancient choral music all over the world. The choir has performed on prominent world stages in Israel, Europe, ASua and North America. This is the first time that choir performs in a music festival in Spain in Girona, in the region of Catalonia. The greater number of the singers is 24, but the number of singers from the Israelite Samaritan community in every journey is adjusted to the financial budget of the organizers of each festival. This time the budget was limited to host only 7 singers.


The Israelite Samaritan choir sings the most ancient music of the civilized world and returns back to the roots of choral music as it was sung by the Forefathers, Moses and the Sons of Israel in reading of the low, and singing the hymns in its original melodies. The choir sings the original Song of the Sea [Ex. Chap. 15], verses from the Torah in its ancient melody and "modern" hymns of the 14Th century that contain wedding and wine songs and praise to Moses. The choir ends every performance with its anthem of honor and admiration to Mount Gerizim, the sole sacred place for the Israelite Samaritans, written by conductor Benyamim Tsedaka.

An Honorable Performance in Medium Budget
A medium budget is enough to organize performance of the Israelite Samaritan Choir. This time, speaking of Spain' a state under economic crises and supported by the European Union, the budget was limited to host only 7 singers, that paid from their own pockets the flights and lodging of their spouses. A considerable expense that never effected the right to represent the Israelite Samaritan Community on two honorable stages of Europe. All singers of all choirs see the participation in such conferences an opportunity to show the culture of their people and to bring honor to the communities where they came from. This way the financial factor loses its importance. Nevertheless the Spanish honored much the participation of the Israelite Samaritan Choir and granted the singers with modest financial fees and the best and most convenient hotel in Girona as well as covering their meals expenses, lunch and dinner that prepared by the souses of the singers,
The members of the Israelite Samaritan choir make their living from their places of work and their participation in festivals is on the account of their annual vacation. Therefore they receive some modest fees to cover their expenses. The same with other choirs. Each member of all choirs should ask first, what is the benefit of my participation in representing my people and community and not how much I will be paid for my performance. The best benefit and reword is the reaction of the many seekers of our culture, the excited applauses and the tears of excitement of many of the croud and their gratitude to the opportunity to hear the most5 ancient music in the civilized world. We have to mentioned too that foe many members of the choir the journeys are the best opportunity to visit many places all around the world and meet many members of other choirs. 

Growing European Interest
The current journey to the city of Girona, Spain was successful. The singers wear white garments and cover with high turbans gained lot of interest and curiosity even before they started to sing. The crowed was swept by their singing and followed the different styles. The crowed showed excitement from the ancient songs. In the song Praise to Moses the crowed was happy to join with long applauses. At the end of each performance the singers bowed before the audiences to have lots of applauses again and again.

After long return home we can conclude with great satisfaction the great performance of the current ensemble. We understand the feelings of those who didn't take part this time, due to a limited budget. Any number of singers the organization of such a journey is a big deal of hard work and long negotiation about every detail of the journey in order to ensure an honorable performance in each concert. 

The Representative of Israel and Mount Gerizim
The Israelite Samaritan Choir was the only one that represented Israel and Mount Gerizim. In the Conference of Mediterranean Voices our choir performed with choirs from Spain, Serbia, Lebanon, Tunisia, Sicily, Morocco, Greece, Sardinia and Crete. Half of the choirs were from different regions of Spain.

We have met the organizer of all Europe festivals Mr. Francesco Leonardino and the organizer of Girona festival Mr. Martin Pree and Mr. Dolf Rabush and all of then came to our both concerts evening after evening and expressed their great impression from our performances. The wished their hope to see us soon on other European stages next years.

I am grateful to the members of the choir for the great honor they represent the Israelite Samaritan People by giving the opportunity to many in Europe to hear for the first time our ancient choral music. All performances of the Israelite Samaritan Choir are under the activity of A.B. – Institute of Samaritan Studies in Holon and Mount Gerizim, that continue to spread the ancient Israelite Samaritan Culture in Israel and abroad.

IN MEMORIAM

 

The Greatest Scholar of Samaritan Studies in our generation, Zeev ben-Hayeem has passed away on August 6, 2013 at the age of 106 in Jerusalem.


 I have heard with great sorrow from my friend and teacher from Jerusalem Prof. Moshe Bar-Asher, President of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, that Professor Zeev Ben - Hayeem, the greatest scholar in our generations’ of Samaritan studies, passed away at the age of 106 years [1907-2013].

Prof. Ben - Hayeem is mainly responsible for raising Samaritan Studies on the global research map. Seven volumes of books on the "Hebrew and Aramaic of the Samaritans," which won the Israel Prize in 1964 and his book "Tibat Marqeh" - a collection of homiletics  of the Samaritans on the Torah's, the greatest poet and commentator of Israelite Samaritans of the fourth century CE, Ben Hayeem wrote many hundreds of research articles about the Samaritan Studies elements and rivets study of Hebrew and Aramaic among the Samaritans, reading of the Torah, which he published in phonetic transcription, poems and hymns, rank so high and comprehensive linguistic research and literary, that many students after him, had trouble finding new fields of investigation and settled in critical editions of the Torah and translations, prayer books and liturgy.

Ben Hayeem reached this peak of Research also due to the cooperation between him and the Samaritan Priests and elders, sages and learnt personalities during fifty years in the second half of the twentieth century. Specially with two of them, the late Ratson b. Benyamim Tsedaka [1922-1990] that Ben Hayeem called him "my teacher and my mentor" that he learned from him the pronunciations of the Torah reading and the poems in Aramaic and the second was Israel ben Gamliel Tsedaka [1932-2010], who visited him often and enrich him with productive information.

Initially Ben Hayeem was helped by the priests, the brothers, High Priest Amram [1889-1980] and Tsedaka [1894-1971] sons of High Priest Isaac, The High Priest Abisha  [1882-1961] and the priest Ab-Hisda, son of Jacob [1883-1959].

For decades he was the oracle of Hebrew scholars, when it comes to languages ​​and research of the Samaritans. His books in the bookcase of global research are fundamental to anyone who has studied the Samaritan Studies.

Israelite Samaritans in Israel and the rest of the world of science admired him as he approached all intents and purposes linguistic and literary Samaritan Studies. He was secretary and later the President of the Israeli Academy of Hebrew Language and Head of the Department of Hebrew Language at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, head of the Historical Dictionary editorial and as honorary President of the Society of Samaritan Studies founded in Paris in 1985, and participated in two of the first conferences in Paris and in Israel.

Ben Hayeem's research is very accurate and he added comments to his critical editions of poetry with the largest variety of using external sources for his research with wise suggestions and conclusions. He was able to establish his place in front of the global research and in many hearts of his admirers around the world.

The most prominent feature of him was his unique personality much modesty and pleasant way of talking with peoples of any kind and age. Despite the record's inconceivable wisdom, he had modest and humble heart and expressed his appreciation and gratitude to all those who enriched his knowledge with further details. He always asked about any one of dozens of his Samaritan friends, most of them have passed away many years ago.

The Israelite Samaritans always told him that his study of Samaritan studies will extend the life due to the blessings of the priests on Mount Gerizim bestowed on his head. He was glad to hear this greeting and smiled politely. Zeev Ben Hayeem made his way on the path of life from the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau in Poland to decades of friendship and research in libraries and fruitful friendship with the elders of the Israelite Samaritans in Nablus and Holon and Mount Gerizim.

Ben Hayeem will be remember within us with the blessings of the Almighty.

On “The Path of the Perplexed to Knowing the Faith

Hasseb Shehadeh

 

This bound manuscript is one of several unpublished manuscripts by the late Samaritan High Priest, Elazar Sadaqa, (1927-2010). Its 255 pages, written in Samaritan and Arabic languages and scripts, addresses a wide variety of religious subjects comprising the backbone of Samaritan literature. Among these subjects are: Man’s behaviour in following the right path; tithing; the interpretation of Genesis 6: 3; the questions of whether something preceded the creation of the world and when the Torah was created; when were devils and demons created;  the angels and Satan; Adam’s end; the murder of Abel by Cain and Cain’s end; Targumic words; Samaritan poetry; on Mount Gerizim; the origins of religion; donations; almsgiving; marriage and divorce; the acquisition of slaves; pilgrimage (ajj); Abū Sa˓īd’s Fatwa (his formal legal opinion) concerning the fasting o! f babies and sick people on the Day of Atonement .

Elazar Sadaqa dedicated more than ten years to writing and collecting the material of this codex, which he completed at the end of 1979 and dedicated to Ya’ir/Waḍḍāḥ, his son, asking him not to sell it. In many cases Sadaqa makes no mention of his sources. In the course of  reading the manuscript, I prepared the following alphabetical lists to help those scholars who are interested in its contents: names of authors, as a rule, Samaritans; general names; Samaritan works; names of places; names and epithets for God; names for the Torah; names and epithets for Moses the prophet; names and designations for the Samaritans; religious terms and expressions; Arabic sayings and proverbs; and special linguistic usages in Arabic, followed by my remarks.

Finally, I selected a brief chapter, a testament, to serve as an example of the codex. The testament is given here in its original Arabic without modification followed by my Hebrew translation. Unlike many Samaritan testaments, this one does not mention materialistic matters, but focuses only on spiritual aspects.

Byzantine Garbage Pit Yields Mystery

What were 400 Byzantine coins, 200 Samaritan lamps, an ancient ring and gold jewelry doing in a refuse pit?

By Gil Ronen 08/08/2013 Israel National News

The archaeological excavations on behalf of the Tel Aviv University and the Israel Antiquities Authority have given rise to a mystery involving 400 Byzantine coins, 200 Samaritan lamps, an ancient ring and gold jewelry.

The excavations, funded by the Israel Land Authority prior to expanding the city of Herzliya, are being conducted in an area located between Kfar Shmaryahu and Rishpon, north of Tel Aviv.

Numerous finds dating to the Late Byzantine period (fifth, sixth and seventh centuries CE) were among the antiquities discovered in excavations conducted in the agricultural hinterland of the ancient city of Apollonia-Arsuf, located east of the site.

Among the finds uncovered are installations for processing agricultural produce, such as wine presses, and what also might be the remains of an olive press, as well as remains of walls that were apparently part of the ancillary buildings that were meant to serve local farmers.

Los samaratinos: ¿los judíos palestinos? ¡Conoce su historia!

Los samaritanos son los palestinos más desconocidos. Históricamente son israelitas y tienen el mismo origen que los judíos, pero no lo son. Por eso viven las mismas discriminaciones que el resto de los palestinos. La montaña Gerizim de Nablus es para ellos su centro sagrado, no Jerusalén.

From the Editor

Here is an interesting book, The Hebraic Tongue Restored: And the True Meaning of the Hebrew Words Re-established and Proved by their Radical Analsis, by Antoine Fabre d'Olivet, done into English [ from the French original] by Nayan Louise Redfield, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, New York and London, The Knickerbocker Press, 1921. The original version was published in 1815-6 in French, la Langue Hebraique Restituee, et le Veritable sens de mots Hebreux in Paris. The 1816 second volume. The original work was in two publications while the English was the 2 books placed in one.

 

Antoine Fabre d'Olivet (December 8, 1767, Ganges, Hérault – March 25, 1825, Paris) was a French author, poet and composer whose Biblical and philosophical hermeneutics influenced many occultists, such as Eliphas Lévi, Gerard Encausse and Édouard Schuré.

 

The author uses many Samaritan words in his work and even tries to use a Samaritan font for the word used. The first half of the book or Volume 1 is his investigation into the Hebrew language and the 2nd half, Volume 2 is his partial translation and commentary of the book of Genesis, which is so designates as the Cosmogony of Moses.

While this book is original, and speculative, I have found no evidence that d’Olivet ever met a Samaritan and I would be interested in which origin Samaritan reference he used that was not a European copy.

 

By the way this issue concludes 12 years of the Update publications. We would like to thank our readers!!!!!!

ARE SAMARITANS A DISAPPEARING PEOPLE ? 

MOUNT GERIZIM, West Bank (Palestine). Everyone knows the expression "the good samaritan" that refers to someone who helps a stranger in distress...but how many of you know who that the Samaritans are actually a people? There were more than a million and a half of them back in Roman times...but following brutal suppression throughout the ages, they have struggled to survive.
