Israelitas: Peru

Episode 9 of the series focuses on the Peruvian Israelites (aka ‘Israelitas’) – a group of devout Christians who study the Old Testament rigorously, and whose many customs are highly reminiscent of Jewish traditions: from their observance of the holy Sabbath, to making sacrificial offerings on all the Jewish high holidays including Sukkot, Passover, and Shavuoth.
