'''Shabbatis''' or Karaimites or Karimit or Karaitizers or Sabbatarians or Sabbatians or Subbotnik Molokans or Subbotnik-Karaites or Karaite Subbotniks (Russian: Субботники-Караимиты) also described as "Russian Karaites" (Russian: Русские Караимы), are Jewish Judeo-Christians who practise ritual slaughter and sometimes circumcision. They recognize the Gospel, but also practice some of the rules and precepts of the Old Testament (only those rules which apply to Gerim to be specific). In accordance with Matthew 23:2-3, Subbotnik Karaites Shabbatis obey the Scribes and the Pharisees but do not practice Pharisee Judaism. Instead they began to use the "Everyday Prayers for Karaites" by Abraham Firkovich (1870, Vilnius) for their liturgy. In 1882 this was published in Russian as "Порядок молитв для караимов"(since they are not required to pray in Hebrew). It was based on the Siddur Tefillot keMinhag haKaraim by Isaak ben Solomon Ickowicz also used by the Crimean Karaites, who to a degree, exemplified for them a Judaic model to which could be imitatedby non-Jews who who are prohibited from observing Talmudic Judaism by the Pharisees.
The Tora-centered B'nei Moshe movement is tied with the Subbotniks and formed the majority leaders of the Jaffa port population. In 1904, later famous Spiritual-Zionist rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook was invited by them to become their rabbi but in 2004, Shabbati community are the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Amar ruled the Subbotniks were not defined Gery Talmudists also known as Jewish and would have to undergo an Orthodox conversion. The Interior Ministry classified the Subbotniks [[Subbotnik Yudei]] rather than simply as a Christian sect and ineligible for aliyah to Israel, because no one knew if their ancestors had formally converted to Judaism (and there is much historic evidence that they did not) but the ruling was abolished in 2014, with an attempt by the Interior Ministry to allow remaining Subbotnik families like Hakham Yose Khoen's to make Aliyah and immigrate to IsraelYevrei.
