Samaritan Palestine Erotic

Palestinian Samaritans comprise the smallest enumerated population in this composition — approximately 400+ on Mount Gerizim near Nablus, plus the Israeli Samaritan community of approximately 400+ in Holon, totaling the global Samaritan community of approximately 830+. The Samaritans are the historic religious-ethnic community that descends from a distinct Israelite sub-population predating the Babylonian exile (587 BCE) — the Samaritan religious tradition retains a distinct version of the Pentateuch (the Samaritan Torah, with approximately 6,000 textual differences from the Masoretic Jewish Torah) and the substantial pre-rabbinic Israelite religious tradition. The Samaritan community is among the smallest distinct religious-ethnic communities globally and faces substantial endogamy-related genetic-bottleneck issues. The community is divided between the Palestinian-Samaritan community on Mount Gerizim (the Samaritan religious-cultural center) and the Israeli-Samaritan community of Holon.
