“In the name of the father” (photo PR) actress and TV host Sophie Tzada, recently interviewed Avery Gilad on the Mashab platform. During the interview, the beloved actress told about the ancient custom that members of the Samaritan community continue to observe these days on Yom Kippur. After pointing out that the Samaritans observe religious customs such as nida, kosher and Shabbat, Avri Gilad hastened to ask Sofi Tsadaka, the beloved actress of Samaritan origin who converted, whether members of the community support the idea that babies should fast on Yom Kippur.
In response to this, Tsadaka noted: “Babies fast from the day they are born. It is written in the Torah: ‘And every soul shall fast on that day’ and from the point of view of the Samaritans, even a baby is a soul.” Gilad, who was interested in observing the customs of the members of the Samaritan community, asked the well-known actress and TV presenter if she remembers the experience of fasting at a young age as a very difficult experience.
“I don’t remember it as a very, very difficult experience, but it was challenging. I remember being very scared a few days before Yom Kippur came, because I realized that I needed to prepare for this. But then my father would take me to the synagogue and I would just stay there for almost 24 hours.” That’s what charity said.

“Do you remember yourself braiding at the age of three or four?” Avri Gilad asked Tsadaka. In response to this, the actress said: “I remember myself braiding at a later age. I don’t remember when I was three or four. I remember that my mother used to scare us that there was a camel in the refrigerator, so that we wouldn’t open the refrigerator on Yom Kippur.”
