Badri Cohen lives in the Samaritan community of Kiryat Luza, near the summit of Mount Gerizim, above modern Nablus, biblical Shechem. The wife of a communal prayer leader, a ḥazzan, and daughter of a high priest, Badri is herself a leader of the Samaritan people (Figure 0.3). The story translated here from her spoken Arabic was collected and edited by filmmaker Moshe Alafi as part of the YU Israelite Samaritans Project. Badri’s tale is set in a simpler, even mythic, time. It happened when “she was perhaps one year old,” and before the Samaritan Passover was transformed into a tourist attraction during the early decades of the twentieth century. It encapsulates the spiritual and historical experience of the Samaritans, a window into this tightly patriarchal culture, as told to Badri by her “father and older brothers.” These kohanim, elite members of the priestly class caste, we are told, were leading participants in this unfolding drama.
The tale takes place in the city of Nablus and upon holy Mount Gerizim, the “blessed mountain,” which is believed by the Samaritans to have been “chosen by God” above all others (Figure 0.4). It is set at Passover, the high point of the Samaritan calendar, when the entire community ascends to the peak of Gerizim to slaughter, roast, and eat the Passover sacrifice—the qorban. Badri today lives near the sacrifice compound (Figure 0.5-6). She was filmed in the community center, which was built between the sacrificial compound and the synagogue. The entire Nablus Samaritan community relocated here as a result of difficulties experienced in Nablus during the Intifada of 1987.
This is a tale of deprivation, persecution, faith, and deliverance —typical of stories passed from generation to generation by “the people of Israel”—as Badri refers to the Samaritans. These descendants of the biblical Northern Kingdom of Israel, the capital of which was in Shomron, Samaria, refer to themselves as the Shemarim—“the guardians” of the Torah. In this way, they transform the geographical designation used by outsiders, Shomronim, “Samaritans.” Their will to “keep” the biblical commandments, especially to perform the Paschal sacrifice atop the Holy Mountain, is central to their identity.
