DESCRIBES NEW 12
PALESTINE TRIBES
Dr. Dushkin Tells Shaarey Ze-
dek Audience of Wonderful
Historic Romance.
Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin of the
Keren Ilayesoil Bureau of New York,
who just recently returned to the
United States from Palestine, where
he spent 18 months in educational
activities, Friday evening delivered a
most interesting address at the week.
ly services held at the Shaarey Zedek
on "The Twelve New Tribes in Is-
rael."
Dr. Dushkin opened his address by
striking an optimistic note on the ex-
isting conditions in Palestine. Ile
pionted out that Zionist activities
have passed from the realm of a
dream to that of practical realization.
Historic Romance.
"Beneath the constant devotion to
the specific problems of immigration,
house building, irrigation, engineer.
ing and as forth, which must occupy
the minds of the Jews when they now
think of Palestine, sight should not
be lost of the wondrous historic ro-
mance that is shaping itself almost
miraculously in the Palestine of to-
day," the speaker said. The lecturer
then vividly described the various
types of Jews now living In Palestine
and declared that "Palestinian Jewry
represents a living cross-section of
Jewish history."
In sketching the new 12 tribes of
Israel as he saw them, Dr. Dushkin
said that one visiting Palestine today
can see with his eyes the realization
of the prophecies foretold centuries
ago that the exiles of Israel will again
be gathered in their ancient home-
land. The first and oldest tribe in
Palestine to be described by Dr. Dumb-
kin was the Samaritan.
The S•maritans.
"The Samaritans, of whom 150
milies still remain in the Holy Land,
lesire to asdciate themselves as one
of the tribes of Israel, although their
Jewish origin is doubtful," Dr. Dush-
kin said. "They still cluster around
their ancient sanctuary, the mountain
of Gerizim, with its Biblical associa-
tions. The Samaritan remnant lives
in the town of Nablos, or Shechem."
Dr. Dushkin then gave a descrip-
tion of the manner in which the Sa-
maritans celebrate their Passover. He
said that while in Palestine he was
asked to participate in a Samaritan
celebration and saw the entire tribe
take all ther possessons, ther tents,
Cher donkeys and household belong.
ings, and make the pilgrimage t othe
mountain top of Gerizim, where are
the remains of their ancient altars.
The Pascal lamb was there sacrificed
and eaten in the very same manner
in which the Jews practiced the cus-
tom 3,000 years ago.
The Fellahin Jaws.
Dr. Dushkin then described the sec-
ond tribe of modern Palestine, the
Fellahin or Arab Jews. He explained
that a small community of these com-
pletely Arabized Jews is to be found
in the village of Peklin in northern
Palestine. Claiming to have remained
on the land from the days of Titus
and Bar Kochbas, these Jewish peas-
ants survived the Roman onslaught,
the Crusades and the Turkish regime
and live in their village to this day,
never having left their homeland.
The Karaites were the third of the
group described by the lecturer. Hav-
ing broken away from the rest of
Jewry 1,000 years ago, the Karaites
denied the validity of the Talmud and
determined to live according to Bib-
lical laws only. Dr. Dushkin said in
speaking of this tribe:
"I spent a Sabbath in one of the
Karaite homes in Jerusalem and had
to suffer cold and eat cold food with
the rest of the family because of
their insistence upon carrying out
literally the Biblical injunction: 'Ye
shall burn no fire in your dwelling
places.' "
