This video gave me a strong sense of peace. The way they structure their family is very warm, familiar, beautiful and intimate. The most wonderful of communities.

The young people should just be able to choose someone they like in their community, marry and raise a family. That will help ease the population crisis and there will be more brides and grooms to choose from in the future. These strict marriage rules often have unintended negative consequences.

Would you have allowed to be married at a younger age to a man/boy without holding demonstrating and calling it evil?

The young couple are cute and appear to be in love.

The Bible tells the story of the Good Samaritan where a traveler who was stripped of clothing, and left half dead . First a Jewish priest, then a Levite comes by, but both avoid the man. But a Samaritan took pity, bandaged his wounds, put him on his donkey, took him to an inn, gave the innkeeper money to care for him. He even said he would reimburse the innkeeper for any extra expenses. Lu 10:25-37 Question is - which of these 3 was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? (rhetorical) How we all can learn from this community of peace loving and compassionate people ! ❤️

Loved this documentary! I think Ukrainian women & their culture can adapt more easily into the Samaritan culture because the cultural norms & values of both societies are more closely aligned. Many American men have not achieved the same success because many don’t understand the Ukrainian culture. I have a financially successful cousin who twice went to the Ukraine and has not achieve success in marriage. I believe it is because the women whom he chose expected to have a more family values than he could provide simply because he didn’t understand what was important to those women. Thus both marriages didn’t survive. Both marriages ended in divorce and the women returned home to the Ukraine. I felt sorry for my cousin as I know he is a good man of character. Obviously he has insecurities about himself because I didn’t understand how he couldn’t find an American woman . I found that sad for him. I hope that the couples and families highlighted in this documentary are still enjoying the fruit of their marriages! I have always loved the story related in the Bible of The Good Samaritan. And that resonated in listening to the elder Samaritan grandfather sitting with his granddaughter doing lessons together! If it is proper for this 🇺🇸 grandmother I wish you “Shalom”!

In first place Muslim women are not allowed to marry outside of their religion, so very few Muslim Palestinian women will ever be able to marry with a Samaritan man. And if a Samaritan woman marries a Muslim man she will be forced to convert to Islam and will further cause the minority Samaritan community to decline.

​@dyawr the fact that the Ukrainian women view living in the west bank aa better tells you what you need to know about Ukraine. That being said, the Samaritans have a very unique and somewhat enviable position in that they get preferential treatment from both sides of the conflict. If I were to marry someone from the holy land, it would be a Samaritan. Seems like an OK set up, if you can tolerate the religious conversion. And I don't love how it seems a lot of the women weren't told how extreme some of the beliefs are, like them having to live in a separate room once a month while menstruating and that type of thing. If they don't mind it that's one thing, but it's hard to fully be truly consenting to something if you didn't actually get really told was the reality.

She forgot to mention why they moved to Mount Gerizim and there used to be about 1 million Samaritans

Thank you for this Documentary about this Jewish Group. I learnt so much. I must visit this area of our world.

Documentary is amazing! But the situation with bringing brides looks quite disturbing to me… not mention the age difference

When love is in the air, everything happens..

Interesting documentary. Why don't the men find brides from the middle East, Arabic, Kurdish, Turkish etc communities? And what of the young Samaritan women, are they allowed to marry put? How do they feel? The Jews have succeeded as a people because over the centuries you can see they did marry outside the community. Also, Jewishness is passed on through the mother. Maybe the Samaritan need to give their women more freedom too if they wish to grow as a community.

Women from those countries don't want to convert and move to another country. Honestly there are some Muslim men in the Arab world that do the same with Russian and Ukrainian women.

Because of islam. Although, because of secularism, it should be possible in the future.

Because islam doesn't allow to convert to other religions especially women aren't allowed to marry outside the religion and certainly not to convert.

I am a Dutch gay, and I would love to marry a Samaritan 👦

We had a lot of conflict against the samerians in the past we need to be United again .

If, this is life I’m really from Mars

The proverbial Good Samaritans must be preserved! I remember their special relationship with Jesus

I'd wish to marry a samaritan man. If housework duties are being shared I'd be willing to risk relocating to a complete foreign land so long as I am being treated witb respect.

You need to adapt to their culture (or Jewish at least) to be part

Why only Ukraine

Is there anyone who doesn't know the story of the Good Samaritan?

@Said Nasereddin They are not Jews!..... The Quran mentions them many times as "Beni Israel" .... They do not believe in the Talmud and the temple of Salomon in Jerusalem is not holly to them! Their holly place is Jabel Gerzim as mentioned in this program. Isarelis are descended from converts to Judaism ....They are not beni Israel.
