Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Samaritan and Hebrew calendars?

The Samaritan calendar is similar to Hebrew in structure but counts from the entry into Canaan (about 3636 BCE) rather than creation, and relies on direct astronomical observation.

Who are the Samaritans?

The Samaritans are an ancient religious community living in Nablus and Holon, who consider themselves keepers of the original Torah and hold Mount Gerizim as sacred.

Why are the dates approximate?

Because the Samaritan calendar relies on actual observation of the new moon and spring equinox, which may cause slight variations.
