Legends of The Lost Tribes: Chapter 01 - The Samaritans

“Legends of the Lost Tribes” is an invitation to explore the hidden history of the Hebrew faith, to extend beyond the boundaries inherent in the concept of the “Jewish People”. The essence of the Hebrew movement, of which Judaism is only a small fragment, has touched the whole of mankind. The opening chapter presents the series in a colorful mosaic of communities, all of whom, in one form or another, see themselves as original Hebrew descendants. It then goes on to explore the story of the Samaritan community in Israel. Numbering about 600, these people, who still struggle to keep their ancient tradition, live in what was the capital of Samaria - Nablus. They claim to be authentic descendants of Israelite tribes that were not exiled. Here we see their customs, religious practices and heritage, culminating in a vivid portrayal of their renowned Passover sacrifice on Mount Grizim. For one day the summit of Mount Grizim is transformed into a scene from biblical times.
