The
First Samaritan Medal To Rabbi
Gavriel Halachio
A select audience of about three dozen gathered in
one of the cultural centers of Paris, Jews, Christians and Muslims, to
celebrate the ceremony of awarding the first Samaritan Medal to the late
Gabriel Gabriel Hageeau, the Guy of Paris. All of them were chosen and good
people, university and religious people, language and history experts, music
and heritage, came to pay homage to those who deserved great respect. Shared
with him the honor of his noble wife Hagi.
The writer preceded and told about the members of
the Samaritan community, their uniqueness and their history, and how the
Samaritan Medal was established in 2005, with emphasis on awarding prominent
peace activists, activists in the field of human achievement and experts of the
highest level in the study of the Samaritan.
As for the current medalist, the Samaritan Medal
Foundation found the medalist worthy of the medal in 2019 for his work on
behalf of refugees from the Middle East and Africa. The Gay Rabbi feeds hundreds
of them once a week in one of the halls in the French capital, in addition to
the assistance they receive from the French government.
The rabbi, excited and thankful, spoke in his answer
to the values of peace and love between each other. He quoted many
of the Torah and sang hymns from the prayer in a gentle voice in front of the
excited friends. He said correctly, because he flees from honor, honor pursues
him. He and his wife Hoge are doing their best to benefit people, and the great
change is in the grateful gratefulness of the needy.
The host father of the ceremony, a Calvinist
Catholic, noted the work of the Rabbi for the people. Under his guidance they
sang it all in Hebrew: Here is what is good and how pleasant it is for brothers
to sit together.
In the coming year, an integrated human rights
conference in Jerusalem, Ramallah and Amman will be organized by the French
organization, in which Rabbi Gavriel Hleziyahu the Guy is a central activist
The festive ceremony ended with a light meal of
bourekas with different flavors and a drink for the life of the Rebbe.

The Samaritan manuscripts
The last days in the city of Paris for this period,
unless there is a conference of research in the coming years. I have completed
the cataloging work of the Paris collection and the final preparation for the
digitization of the collection of Samaritan manuscripts. The collection of
manuscripts in Paris are among the most important in the Samaritan manuscripts.
Two historical writings, three manuscripts of prayer books, the first Samaritan
letters to Europe, and the 'Mellitz' - the earliest Samaritan dictionary.
Ancient writings of the Torah decorate the collection.
In six months, the photographs of these writings
will be screened on the website of the National Library in Paris on the
Internet, for every spring. Only researchers who attach great seriousness to
their research will want to examine the original manuscript.
Most of the Samaritan manuscripts require research.
Sometimes a private collection is sold in the world or some university restores
itself in the sale of manuscripts, other universities jump on the bargain and compete
in auctions for every manuscript offered for sale.
The writer parted from each of the precious
manuscripts, leafing through the last pages of their pages, until they were
examined by community researchers in one of the generations to come. Each browsing
through one of them is more important than surfing all of them on the Internet.
The original manuscript is more important than any photographed manuscript. But
the progress of technology is now transferring the photographs of manuscripts
to the Internet, making them accessible to everyone, especially those who
cannot fly to the libraries around the world to see them closely and literally.
The original manuscripts will continue to satisfy
the curiosity of the researchers. A study of the original manuscript enables
the researcher to examine what is original and what is late, what is ancient
and what is additional. The original manuscript will always be needed. I was
heartened by the thought that I would ever have the chance to return to my dear
ones the Samaritan manuscripts in the National Library in Paris.
I will spend the weekend in my hotel room in Paris,
which is a two-minute walk from the library. Thanks to Dr. Laro Harricher and
his staff for their kindness and assistance to me to check all the manuscripts
and to write a comprehensive and accurate catalog. On this subject the writer
works in coordination with the National Library in Jerusalem, which awarded a
million Euros for the digitization of all Hebrew manuscripts in the National
Library of Paris.
A farewell from the Gay Rabbi and his wife
On Thursday evening, the wonderful couple Hag and
Rabbi Gavriel Halachio arrived at the hotel to part with me and brought a fine
box of chocolate. The Gay Rabbi is now the winner of the Samaritan Medal for
Peace and Human Achievement in 2019. He is a teacher of Judaism in Catholic and
Islamic universities, the right educational institutions to beat up the
teachings of Judaism. Is a community of supporters of Jewish studies and
supporters of Israel. He feeds between 200 and 500 refugees every week in Paris
and the small town of Lamoy near Paris.
His wife, Haji, a 14-year-old city worker from 20
Paris districts, is head of the health services and is responsible for hundreds
of workers. In one of her meetings ten years ago, she met the gay rabbi, who
had been divorced for a long time. He had turned on her, and after she had
turned back and forth to his advances, she could not resist the heavy artillery
that had landed on her. They whisper like a pair of doves in their tenth year
of marriage.
In December 2019 they plan a tenth honeymoon. She
had six children, four daughters and two children, from previous marriages, all
talented and successful, and so was her son and daughter from previous
marriages. The names of all the children of the Hebrews. At the end of February
2020 they will come to visit Israel.

The Thirtieth Day, London, England

The digitization of 178 manuscripts was completed
The Samaritans in the British Library
So we gathered today, Tuesday at noon, at exactly 12
o'clock, in the digitization unit of the British Library in London, headed by
dedicated director Karl Harris, to follow the process of transferring the
original Samaritan script to the world of the Internet.
Therefore, we convened Dr. Ilana Tahan, Director of
the Manuscript Department at the British Library; Dr. Vivian Weinmann, outgoing
chairman of the Board of Directors of British Jewish organizations and
recipient of the Samaritan Peace Medal; The industrialist and thinker Jeffrey
Ben Nathan; Leon Macaron, the writer and geographer - all Londoners - with the
writer. A kind of little celebration of the end of the digitization of Samaritan
manuscripts.
A British donor gave a grant that he managed to do
half of the work by 2017. At that time, the National Library of Jerusalem
joined in and added a grant of more than one million pounds,
1700 Jewish manuscripts and 178 Samaritan manuscripts,
most of them a gift of the family of the Sephardic Jewish rabbi of Anglo Jewry.
In addition to the 7000 Geniza pieces from Cairo, which are not part of the
Joseph Schechter collection, parts of which are in large part in the library of
Cambridge University, the Bodleiana Library in Oxford, the John Rolland’s
Library in Manchester and the Hebrew Union College Library in Cincinnati.
For thirty enriching minutes, Dr. Harris described
the process of digitization with the help of a team of dozens of employees who
are doing their work to digitally digitize all the thousands of manuscripts and
old patterns of people and nations in the British Library.
The original manuscripts, whose photographs have
been transferred to the Internet, will remain in the research library of the
researchers, who would prefer the original handwriting examination over the
photograph. As of January 2020, the vast public of Internet surfers will have
free access to every page of the manuscript pages via the Internet.
The National Library of Jerusalem annually allocates
grants for the digitization of all Jewish and Samaritan manuscripts in all the
world's libraries. A copy of each photographed manuscript is transferred to the
National Library in Jerusalem. This is the proceeds transferred to the National
Library in Jerusalem, within the framework of the goal that all Hebrew
manuscripts will be under one roof - in Jerusalem. The writer works in
coordination with the National Library of Jerusalem in all matters relating to
the Samaritan manuscripts, around 4000 in the world outside of the Druze and
Holon (about 1000 manuscripts).
Due to Dr. Ilana Tahan's welcome activities for the
inclusion of the Samaritan collection in the digitization process, the writer
will propose to the members of the Executive of the Samaritan Medal Foundation
to award her the Samaritan Medal for Academic Achievement in the Samaritan
Studies in 2020.
We sat a long time after the tour and discussed with
enthusiasm the history of the Samaritan collection in the British Library. Dr.
Tahan greatly enriched our knowledge. The writer asked the participants to join
the organization of an appropriate ceremony next summer of awarding the medal
to those who deserved it. Dr. Tahan responded with great excitement.
We said good-bye until the next meeting.

The Thirty-first Day, London, England
ֿ Thursday, 11.7.2019
As we sat there, Jeffrey Ben-Natan received a letter
from Dr. Ilana Tahan, director of the collection of Hebrew and Christian
manuscripts in the British Library, which was sent to me with copies of
Jeffrey, Mr. Vivian Weinmann and Mr. Leon Macaron. On the occasion of
completion of the digitization of the 178 Samaritan manuscripts. Dr. Tahan has
attached links to five sample manuscripts already on the British Library
website. As stated, the digitalization of our reporters will be completed by
December 2019.
The following is the letter:
Dear Benny and Guests,
It was a great pleasure welcoming you all yesterday
on a visit to the British Library.
I am pleased that I had the opportunity to share
with you the latest news about our major Hebrew Manuscripts Digitization
Project, which started in 2013 and is due for completion in December this year.
As I mentioned yesterday, I am particularly glad
about the inclusion of all the Library's Samaritan manuscripts in this
significant project. The digitization process will enable free worldwide access
to a magnetic resource, and will open new avenues for discoverability, research
and scholarship.
As an example of what has been achieved to-date, I
am sending you links to a small number of fully digitized Samaritan
manuscripts.
Looking forward to meeting you again in the not too
distant future.
With my very best wishes,
Ilana Tahan, M.Phil. OBE

and African Studies

Nice
day at the National Library in Paris
It
seems strange to me that as someone who helps the National Library in Paris,
from the very first day of my research in the library, a few years ago, I will
be charged a fee of 50 euros [about 250 shekels] for every week visiting the
library.
In
the first stage I accepted the evil decree, because I needed the help of the
librarians, but when I turned from an assistant to an assistant, and I did not
ask for payment, it seemed unnecessary to me. So I made sure to wait outside
the library hall. Last year I finally completed the complete catalog of the collection
of Samaritan manuscripts in the National Library of Paris.
Indeed,
Dr. Laroue Harcher, the director of manuscripts collections in the library,
about 50,000, including 1,700 Jewish manuscripts and 70 Samaritan manuscripts,
responded to my visit with joy and went down to the entrance floor of the
library, where we sat comfortably and talked about the state of digitization [
] Of the Samaritan manuscripts to the library's website, so that it will be
accessible to anyone on the Internet.
In
recent months, following a meeting with Dr. David Kimhi, the chairman of the
National Library and his assistant, Dr. Aviad Stolman, we managed to include
the digitization of the Samaritan collection in a grant of one million Euros to
the National Library in Paris for the digitization of Jewish manuscripts. Now
we have to make sure that the digression of our writings is done.
Dr.
Harischer was pleased to inform us that the National Library in Paris had
completed the digitization of the Jewish manuscripts, and now the library staff
was digitizing the Samaritan manuscripts. He estimates the operation will last
about six months. Thus, by the end of 2019, each spring will be able to surf
the National Library of Paris for free on the site of the contents of each of
the seventy Samaritan manuscripts.
It
remains to be seen whether 50,000 manuscripts can be found in other Sumerian
manuscripts. This was done during the week.
In
the evening an old friend came to visit me, Rabbi Gavriel Halachio, for a
special event planned for tomorrow night. We spent a pleasant hour like the
weather that continues to be pleasant in Paris.

From
the Editor: There is the Tabernacle Drawing,
which were sold around 1903-4. Yet this drawing, like a couple others were made
in those years.

Last on the left, priest Avraham ben Pinchas. Place of the photo: the yard of

Being held by one of the children. There is no need to note that none of the
taped live among us today. Estimated Photo Date-1924. - Eyal, the photographer
is wrong. In 1938, most of the Samaritans in the new neighborhood have already
lived in Nablus Most of them left in 1933 for the new neighborhood from the old
neighborhood destroyed due to the earthquake in 1927.’
Note:
In 1936, only one year after the invention of
Kodachrome, the Agfa Company in Germany created the Agfacolor negative-positive
process and the 35 mm slide.

The Tabernacle drawing in the photo shown
above shows drawing similarities with that of MS 623 of the Roth Collection at
Leeds University Library. It appears that Taqa b. Mashiah drew MS 623. This
drawing in the photo appears to have been lost or in a private collection. Yet,
because of the greening shown on the tabernacle drawing in the image, it is
possible that it was colorized from a black and white slide. So many photos even in the 30s and 40s during
the war of 1948 and into the 50s, the images were black and white, so this one
must have also been black and white.
Of
interest, the two tabernacle drawings by Taqa has the Holy Priest’’s garment on
the right of the page, and yet the shown photo has it on the left side. This
could mean that the photo taken from the slide was flipped. So that the garment
appears on the same side as the others, this Editor has given that image also
(see image left).

From the
Editor
An
interesting dissertation caught my attention recently. It answered my long
awaited question; Where did the acquired 27 Samaritan manuscripts come from in
the James Ludovic Lindsay, Earl of Crawford Library, now in the in
the John Rylands Library, Manchester.
John R.
Hodgson’s
Thesis, ‘Class
Acts: The Twenty-Fifth and twenty-Sixth Earls of Crawford and Their Manuscript
Collections,’ from the
University of Manchester, tells the
story;
“when
Lindsay secured a collection of Samaritan manuscripts in 1872, he clearly
expected his wife to share his enthusiasm: ‘Minnie, Minnie, Minnie!!! I have
got a haul, you don’t know of what a valuable fish – Samaritan manuscripts!
They are rarer than black swans.’ Page 118.
[Bernard]
‘Quaritch functioned as an entrepôt for books and manuscripts arriving in
Britain from all over the world, although other booksellers also dealt in
Orientalia, such as Charles John Stewart, from whom Lindsay purchased a
collection of twenty-two Samaritan manuscripts for £450 in July 1872.’ Page
191.
The
manuscripts most likely came from Jacob Shelaby.
John
Hodgson’s Thesis is very interesting!
In
the last issue of the Samaritan
Update, we displayed the Armenian two manuscripts, in the Repository
of the Armenian Church of the Diocese of Aleppo. These two mss (ms. 30 and 56)
had Samaritan flyleaves in them. But we should not forget the manuscript in the
Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem (St. James). There is also a Samaritan
Pentateuch fragment in the binding of MS Armenian 808. These three fragments
would make a great article!!!

Samaritan Scroll owned by Alex George Hans of Dublin
According
to the twitter account of incunabula,
in his post dated Jan 18th, 2019.
‘A
Samaritan Torah scroll, copied from the famous Abisha scroll in 1911 by the
Kohen Gadol (High Priest) of the Samaritans, Yaakov ben Aharon, 120th in a
continuous line claimed to descend directly from Aaron, brother of Moses. ‘
‘The
manuscript is in a private collection, but is available to scholars on request,
DM for details. Per the colophon, it was commissioned by a visitor from Dublin,
Alex George Hans. I think this name may have a transcription error, and am
having this checked by Benny Tsedaka.’

David Selis posted on his
Twitter account the following on May 14;
‘did
you know that @yivoinstitute has a Samaritan manuscript? Neither did I, till a
few weeks ago, and I just had to see it. So here are some photos!’
The

BIBLICAL
CHARACTERS IN THREE TRADITIONS (JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM)
Zohar
Hadromi-Allouche
Description:
This seminar approaches biblical literature through its most famous and pivotal
characters, for it is around them that the subsequent biblical story is
organized and arranged. Moreover, these characters have come to enjoy a life
and fame that extends well beyond the basic Old Testament, Miqra, and New
Testament, and even into the Qur’an and Islamic oral and written texts. As was
demonstrated at the recent Tartu seminar, Samaritan texts and traditions
(unfamiliar to many) have a contribution to make to the seminar as well. Our
work seeks, among other goals, to facilitate a meaningful and informed dialogue
between Jews, Christians, Muslims and Samaritans—foregrounded in the academic
study of the treatment of characters across texts and traditions—by providing
both an open forum at annual conferences, and by providing through our
publications a written reference library to consult. A further goal is to
encourage and provide a forum in which new scholarly talent in biblical and
related studies may be presented.

On
the relationship of Judah and Samaria in post-exilic times: A farewell to the
conflict paradigm Journal for
the Study of the Old Testament. First Published July 26, 2019 Research Article
https://doi.org/10.1177/0309089217748304
Abstract:
The relationship of Judah and Samaria in the period from the 6th to the 2nd
century B.C.E is currently still being described as an uninterrupted period of
ongoing conflicts between Samarian and Judean YHWH-worshippers. This article
examines evidence which offers an entirely different picture of Samarian–Judean
relations in the post-exilic period: in the Levant in post-exilic times, there
were two homologous Yahwisms in Judah and Samaria which existed side by side.
It is for this reason that, when studying this formative period, scholars
should give due consideration not only to Judah, but also to the North as well.

Faculty

Received:
27 March 2019 / Accepted: 21 April 2019 / Published: 24 April 2019
Abstract: After
the conquest of the Near East by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, the
Samaritans, like all other peoples in the region, fell under the influence of
Greek culture. In a gradual process of Hellenization, the Samaritans developed
their own variant of Hellenism. The extant fragments of Samaritan literature in
Greek, as well as quite a number of Greco-Samaritan inscriptions (both in
Palestine and the diaspora) testify to the existence of a variegated Samaritan
Hellenism.

Samaritan
music
Avigdor
Herzog
Extract:
The tradition of sacred vocal (synagogue) music of the Samaritans, a religious
community (which in 1999 numbered about 640), living in Nablus (Shechem) and
Holon near Tel-Aviv. They claim descent from the ancient Israelites, and their
music and the manner of its performance have many apparently archaic features.
The Samaritans differ from the Jews in a number of ways, recognizing only the
Pentateuch as canonical (and no other books of the Bible) and regarding Mt
Gerizim (near Nablus) rather than Jerusalem as the supreme holy place (see John
iv.20).
Samaritan
music is an oral tradition sung at synagogue services and at other religious
and social gatherings. It consists of performances of literary texts (the Pentateuch
and prayers in Hebrew, and hymns in Samaritan Aramaic) and is sung only by men.
Although old manuscripts contain Samaritan biblical accents for guiding the
reading of the texts, these are no longer used today. Samaritan music can be
divided into three categories: songs sung by the whole community; those sung by
both a soloist and the community; and solo songs. The group songs are more
syllabic in style and rhythmically repetitious, and have fewer glissandos and
tremolos than solo music. They are sometimes sung in unison, but mostly
antiphonally, the worshippers being divided into two groups, one on the
right-hand side of the synagogue facing Mt Gerizim, the other on the left; the
former group is termed the ‘right’ or ‘upper’ group, the latter the ‘left’ or
‘lower’ group. Alternate groups of verses drawn from the Pentateuch (called
‘Qataf’), or important hymns (in Samaritan Aramaic) are taken by the two
groups, beginning with the ‘right’ group together with the priests; each group
begins as the other reaches approximately the midpoint of its verses, so that
there is an almost continuous bitextual performance. All the group songs are
characterized by improvised parallel polyphony, in which all the intervals are
at times found, and in which there are also usually drones and notes of
indefinite pitch (...

"Is
the Samaritan Pentateuch a Sectarian Text?" Zeitschrift
für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 127 (2015): 96–107
Scholars
routinely describe the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) as a sectarian text, owing to
the presence of a few variants in the SP in comparison with the Masoretic Text
(MT). These particular readings are thought to highlight the Gerizim cult in a
way peculiarly appropriate to Samaritanism and inappropriate for Jewish texts.
But scholars now interpret some of the most prominent ›sectarian‹ elements of
the SP as not sectarian at all, even while continuing to label the SP
tendentious and sectarian. This paper examines the reasons for applying these
terms to the SP and queries the usefulness of describing it in this manner.

Abraham Shalom Yahuda contributed significantly
to Samaritan studies. This essay offers a first attempt to outline his
activities in this field, relating particularly to the so-called Samaritan Book
of Joshua "discovered" by Moses Gaster—the so-called Abisha-scroll of
the Samaritan Pentateuch—and to Yahuda's important role in the trade of
Samaritan manuscripts. Yahuda's interest in Samaritan studies is to be
understood in the context of Wissenschaft des Judentums, in which the
prominence of Samaritan studies is striking and likely finds its explanation in
the German Jewish search for a Jewish identity that was different from and
outside the traditional world of Ashkenazi Judaism.
van der Meer, Michaël N.
The present paper examines the phenomena
of expansion of biblical texts at the cost of exclusion of rival authoritative
textual traditions known from the Samaritan Pentateuch and the pre-Samaritan
biblical scrolls from Qumran (4QpaleoExod-m and 4QNum-b) beyond the familiar
corpus of Pentateuchal texts. It is argued that the same phenomena can also be
found in 4QJoshua-a (the disputed passage about the altar on the Ebal),
4QSamuel-a (particularly 2 Sam 24) and the Septuagint of Joshua, 1 and 3
Kingdoms. An interesting parallel can also be found in the transmission of the
early Ptolemaic papyri of the Homeric writings, the Iliad and Odyssey. The
oldest documents are often label "eccentric manuscripts", but in fact
reflect the very same phenomena as we find in the expansionistic biblical
texts. The scribal tradition of expanding authoritative writings with passages
from elsewhere within the same exclusive tradition is therefore a
cross-cultural phenomenon and might point to the real Alexandrian scholarship
background of early Jewish tradition.
