The idea of establishing the Association first started by a group of young Samaritan men and women. Despite the importance of this communion religiously, historically and socially as well as the nobility of their customs, traditions and culture as one of the ancient and successive civilizations on The Holy Land, it did not receive sufficient attention from authors, researchers and many others. Therefore we thought that it was our duty as people belonging to the Samaritan sect that today represents the smallest, oldest and most prestigious communion in the world, that lived and still live on the land of Palestine, to represent it in a way that shows all its aspects and related issues. Here came along the idea of establishing this association with the aim of achieving many goals.
Message of the Samaritan Legend Association Our message is clear in trying to provide the truth about the Samaritan sect. We sincerely hope and have great confidence that our association will gain the interest and admiration of many in its attempt to provide informational services in the future that will help in understanding the traditions and customs of our people.

Har Gerizim: Military Area Closed Only to Jews Aug/08/10 A group of girls arrived before evening Sunday at Mitzpeh Yosef on the Samarian Har (Mt.) Gerizim and had a discussion within the framework of the Hebrew Cities March, which started in the Samarian Jewish community of Shevut Ami on Sunday and is scheduled to continue to the Dead Sea city of Jericho by Tuesday. A group of boys did not get there after the commander of the Samaria Brigade declared a "closed military zone" on the highway from the Jewish community of Har Bracha in the direction of the Samaritan neighborhood, claiming that a gathering on hill known as Tel Ar-Ras was illegal. Participants in the march said only travel by Jews was banned and that the Samaritans were allowed to travel freely. FULL ARTICLE AT Israel National News

Purchasing Samaritan Books Online From the Editor Searching the internet for Samaritan books can be quit the challenge. I use the two larger websites, Amazon.com and Abebooks.com. Recently, I looked at Samaritan Scribes & Manuscripts (Texts & Studies in Ancient Judaism, 80) (ISBN: 3161474902 / 3-16-147490-2) by Alan David Crown. On Abebooks, the price is $248.18 to $396.80 for new books. Amazon.com has a price ranging from 151.00 to 214.97 for used books and 164.50 to 404.32 for new. in this case Amazon has the3 best price of 164.50 for a new book, a savings of 83.68 not meaning shipping charges, which should be calculated in. Sometimes if you are not careful, the shipping charges can be expensive and out of line. So be frugal in your purchases. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Samaritan High Priest is the high priest (kohen gadol) of the Samaritan community in the Middle East. According to Samaritan tradition, the office has existed continuously since Aaron, the brother of Moses. This would not be accepted by all historians, but the office may well go back to the Hellenistic period, which would still make it the oldest office in the world. One account in Josephus suggest that it is an offshoot of the Zadokite high priests in Jerusalem from around the time of Alexander the Great. ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=22266908
