The Samaritans: A Biblical People by Moshe Alafi, A Film Screening

On Mt. Gerizim, near Nablus, a community of 850 Samaritans and their 3,500-year-old biblical tradition struggle to survive. Endangered by the modern life surrounding them and strict customs on marriage within their religion, they try to prevent extinction and preserve the community, the Torah, and their Holy Mountain.
