This sect claims direct descent from the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, and it may have been formed after Sargon II conquered their namesake land. This sect, which split from the Jews in antiquity, has only about 800 remaining members, who live mostly in Holon and Kiryat Luza. For 10 points, name this religious sect, one of whom kind- heartedly showed hospitality to a man beaten by robbers in a parable told by Jesus.
