Yaacob II ben Uzzi ben Yaacob ben Aaharon (1899-1987) was the 127th Samaritan High Priest.[1][2] He was the grandson of Yaacob I ben Aaharon ben Shalma.[3] He served from 1984-1987.[3]
He has been described as a legendary figure in the world of Samaritan studies and a highly respected Samaritan High Priest. Born into a family of esteemed scholars and spiritual leaders, Yaacob II inherited a deep understanding of the Samaritan faith and culture from his grandfather, Yaacob I ben Aaharon ben Shalma, who raised him after the untimely death of his parents.
From a young age, Yaacob II showed a natural aptitude for language and scholarship, and he quickly became proficient in a number of languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, and English. He was the leader of one of the largest Samaritan Cohen houses, Sons of Jacob, and was highly respected within the Samaritan community for his knowledge and wisdom.
In 1984, Yaacob II inherited the title of Samaritan High Priest from Phinehas X ben Matzliach ben Phinehas. During his tenure, he worked tirelessly to strengthen the bonds within the Samaritan community and to promote understanding and cooperation with other religious groups.
Throughout his life, Yaacob II was deeply committed to preserving and promoting the rich history and traditions of the Samaritan community. He wrote extensively on the subject, authoring a number of books that are considered essential reading for anyone interested in Samaritan history and culture.
