Tags:Poem to be read after reading the last portion of the Torah readingby Abraham ben Marchiv Tsedaka Hassafari (1852-1928) Our Eloowwem, who hears all our laments |
Prayer to be Read by the Eldest Reader of the Sabbath PortionThanks to him (Moses) who received it in obedience Whose name is joined with His Name. (At the end of each reading portion, after reading the additional passage, all the readers will say together) Moses has commanded us to observe Torah (Then the first reader says): You have done well, O petitioners and readers (Then the petitioners rest in their seats, and tea and cakes are served) |
Benyamim Sedaka’s English translations of the Israelite-Samaritan “Prayer to be Read by the Eldest Reader of the Sabbath Portion” and Abraham ben Marchiv Tsedaka Hassafari’s poem to be read after reading the last portion of the Torah reading were first published at the Israelite-Samaritan website, here. We intend to provide this translation side-by-side with the Israelite-Samaritan liturgical Hebrew as soon as we can. If you can read and transcribe Israelite-Samaritan, please contact us.

“Samaritan High Priest and Old Pentateuch, 1905” Samaritan High Priest and Old Pentateuch, Nablus, West Bank. Part of a stereograph from Views of Palestine (1905). The text accompanying this image states “We are looking into the eyes of the chief representative of a religious sect, one of the oldest and certainly smallest in the world…They claim that they are the lineal descendants of the Israelites of old, from a remnant that was left when the tribes were carried into Syrian captivity…There is no doubt but that they are the representatives of the Samaritans of the time of Christ, for whom the Jews had such a deadly hatred. Here is kept with jealous care this ancient copy of the Pentateuch which is before us – one of the very oldest copies in existence. We could not have seen it on any account except in the presence of this high priest.” (collection: J. Paul Getty Museum, credit: Keystone View Company, 1905)(This image is set to automatically show as the "featured image" in category lists and in shared links on social media.)- Properly attribute the work to Benyamim Tsedaka.
