 * History
 * Rabbinic tradition said that the oral law (Talmud) was given to Moses at Sinai. Two groups of Jews (Samaritans and Karaites) said there was no oral law?
 * Why wouldn't Samaritans and Karaites want to believe in an oral law?
 * __//**Because they believe it to be part of the non-original Torah and made in the rabbinic period**//__. __//**They think that the new laws/rules are not true to follow because the only "true" laws are in the Torah and not the Talmud.**//__
 * How do Samaritans observe passover?
 * __//**They camp on Mount Gezirim for the entire week of passover. They also reread the book of Genesis and the first quarter of the book of Exodus.**//__
 * In what other ways do Samaritans and Karaites differ from Rabbinic Jews?
