  7. On Wednesday, a small and ancient community in the Samaria region performed a Passover offering just as it has done for over two thousand years.Israel's small Samaritan community gathered, as it does annually, to offer sacrifices on Mount Gerizim, overlooking Shechem. Heads of Samaritan households slaughtered 35 sheep that were offered in a way very similar to that prescribed in the Torah, for sacrifices at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

  8. According to a press release issued by the Shomron (Samaria) Regional Council, the Samaritan priesthood conducts the offerings. The leader of the priests is the "High Priest," just as is the case in the Torah. Following the slaughter of the animals, they are roasted and eaten with matzah, as would be done if Jews today brought the paschal lamb to the Temple in Jerusalem.

  9. While the Jewish Torah requires Passover offerings to be brought on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Samaritans believe that the preeminent holy spot is Mount Gerizim. Mount Gerizim also features prominently in the Torah as a mountain upon which blessings were pronounced to the Jewish people.
