BETHEK-SINOMAN: MEMUPUK GOTONG ROYONG, MENOPANG ANJANGSANA, DAN MEMELIHARA JATI DIRI MASYARAKAT TENGGER

This study reveals the value of cooperation in tolerance that is manifested in expressions, speeches, or oral expressions, acts/movements or symbolic behavior of the folkloristic expression of the bethek sinoman tradition. This research was located in Tengger Village, Pasuruan Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic design. This model is able to study cultural events, which present the subject's view of life as an object of study. The research findings show that Bethek Sinoman has a strong contribution to the establishment of the pillars of tradition. The spirit of mutual cooperation flourishes because it is nurtured by tradition; on the contrary the tradition that continues to grow has provided a space of existence for the spirit of mutual cooperation, both in the form of helping in personal celebration in the celebration of village ceremonies. Besides mutual cooperation, the value of Anjangsana is also rooted in this tradition. Furthermore, Anjangsana is able to maintain a spirit of tolerance in an increasingly diverse Tengger society. Some of the identities of the Tengger people who are represented in the Bethek-Sinoman tradition are shy, right on the promise, and totality. These three attitudes indicate that the Tengger community respect each other without discriminating against indigenous people or not, native or not religion. When this mutual assistance-tradition is rooted in socio-cultural life, the identity of the Tengger community increasingly finds an area of existence. Bethek Sinoman becomes a spirit and a breath that enlivens tradition.
