Orang Samaria

Orang Samaritan ( Shomronim), dikenali dalam Talmud sebagai Kuthim (), ialah satu kumpulan etnik di Levant. Secara etnik, mereka berketurunan dari sebuah kumpulan penduduk Bani Israil yang mempunyai hubungan dengan Samaria kuno sejak permulaan Buangan Babylon hingga permulaan Tahun Masihi, dan zaman Nabi Musa. Bagaimana pun, orang Samaritan menyatakan bahawa nama mereka bukan berasal daripada gelaran geografi ini, tetapi lebih kepada istilah  (Shamerim), "penjaga [undang-undang Musa]".]”. Secara keagamaan, mereka adalah penganut Samaritanisme, satu agama yang berasaskan Torah. Orang Samaritan mendakwa bahawa sembahan mereka (yang berlainan daripada aliran utama agama Yahudi) adalah agama Bani Israil kuno yang benar, yang wujud sebelum Haikal Sulaiman.

Nat Geo Utsav: More Weddings & Another Funeral: Samaritan Wedding
This is the brief of prog broadcasted by Nat Geo Channel, the anchor
Hakeem Kae-Kazim is in Holon, near Israel's cosmopolitan city of Tel Aviv, to meet a community called the Samaritans. Believed to be one of the smallest and oldest religious sects in the world, the community numbers only about 650 people, divided between Holon and the Arab city of Nablus in the Palestinian Authority. Carried out in accordance with the Samaritans strict interpretation of the Torah, the holy Jewish book, the wedding ritual has changed little down the centuries, and Hakeem finds himself witnessing a ritual that has remained relatively unchanged for over 3,000 years.
