Ancient Samaritan Sect Celebrates Shavuoth Festival
NABLUS, WEST BANK - JUNE 15: Samaritan High Priest Elazar ben Tsedaka ben Yitzhaq raises the Torah scroll as members of the sect pray at dawn on the festival of Shavuoth, which marks the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai seven weeks after the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt, on Mount Gerizim on June 15, 2008 above the northern West Bank Palestinian city of Nablus. The Samaritan religion is an ancient form of Judaism believing in the One God of Israel, and the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. The whole community numbers about 710 people, half at Mount Gerizim and the others in Holon near Tel Aviv in Israel. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)
