Ancient faith, modern lives: Samaritans prepare for Yom Kippur and Sukkot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(JNS) — While most Israelis began building their sukkot last week, one small community that traces its roots to the ancient Israelites will wait until the end of October. The Samaritans (Shomronim in Hebrew) celebrate the festivals commanded in the Torah, but not always on the same dates as Jews. Their year begins with the Hebrew month of Nissan in the spring, rather than with the month of Tishrei in the fall. Their priests calculate leap years independently, based on a count beginning with the

They had belonged to the grandmother of Argentine writer and traveler Dan Lande. After accidentally breaking them, he decided to take the pieces back to the Eastern European towns his grandparents had left behind.

Read excerpt

Someone has paid the bills, spoken to the landlord, opened official letters and made sure there is food in the refrigerator. A lone reservist may return to an empty apartment and face it all alone. “For years, the system saw reservists as soldiers while they were in uniform, but it did not always account for what happened when they went home,” Levi Preger told JNS in a
