Another great article. I will definitely try to get a copy of the Samaritan Cookbook. I am not generally a good cook, but who knows, maybe I can be a good Samaritan cook.

Though I'm a bit biased about the Museum of the Bible exhibit given my role, suffice it to say I appreciate this piece (the longer RNS article you link). What might be of interest, however, from a more impartial perspective is your discussion of the other Samaritan displays/connections helped inform me of the wider landscape. Also, great tie to the states' Good Samaritan laws. Thanks.

Great story, Menachem, a nice survey calling attention to an amazing scholar and a people who deserve three dimensions (and survival). I have a vague memory of having been told that the Samaritans were Israelites who were not exiled to Babylon and who got the cold shoulder from the returning exiles as they got on with what would become the Jewish project. This ring any bells?
