“The answer to the question who is closer to the ancient Israelites rests in the DNA extracted from some 50 bones of ancient Israelites and Judaeans with many more to come. Are modern-Jews mostly Middle Easterners (or ancient Israelites) like Ostrer claims? Hardly. Upon examining the results of 80 Jews from various communities, I could not help noticing the irony considering how the progress in population genetics validated the findings of the 19th-century anthropologists who combed the Levant in an honest search for the jüdische Typus before the repercussions of their findings became clear and their results were deplored on every stage. 👉🏾The most similar Jews to the ancient Israelites who left their dry bones in the Raqefet Valley in Israel were Yemenite and Mesopotamian Jews, but that genetic similarity was less than 15%, on average, in agreement with our previous analyses ascribing less than 5% ancient Levantine ancestry to Ashkenazic Jews (Das et al. 2017).”👈🏾 “Yet, these averages mask the high heterogeneity among all Jewish communities. Some people may share the highest similarity with Gal (named after Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot), a young Neolithic woman - only 6200 years old, and other people may find that they are close to Abraham, a Turkish man (E1b1) who led a group of Anatolians to what he must to have felt was the promised land.” “This is the only match from prehistoric times to date, but it is reasonable to expect many more to come as ancient DNA from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus will be sequenced. 👉🏾Interestingly, the Y chromosomal haplotypes of the ancient Israelites are typically E1b1 and T1 haplotypes, commonly found today in Africa👈🏾 with lower frequencies in the Middle East and Europe.” “We can expect that future tests covering other regions of the world would be able to explain the remaining portion of the elusive Jewish ancestry. Only time will say if “Genetic Jewishness” will evolve onto “Primeval Jewishness” where people define their Jewishness based on their similarity to ancient Israelites and Jews rather than modern ones.” “Think about it the next time that your favorite genetic testing company tells you that you have some “Ashkenazic Jewish ancestry.” Top image: Ezekiel’s vision ‘The Valley of Dry Bones”.

Where is the Cohen Model Haplotype in Ancient Israelite fossils? Y DNA J2 is Canaanite not Israelite. Ancient Hebrews are Y DNA E1b1: “The answer to the question who is closer to the ancient Israelites rests in the DNA extracted from some 50 bones of ancient Israelites and Judaeans with many more to come.

Glad to see the Orthodox delving into history using science (DNA) rather than simply accepting the biblical narratives as fact (-and nothing more needs to be said). However, it's sort of sad that halakhah makes the process of examining skeletal remains, and trying to extract DNA a much more tedious process.

Moroccan, saudi and jordan kingdom are crypto jew 😅😅😅

Ezekiel 18 is a key. Muslims do not distinguish individual's sin. Islam has blood feud, hour killings, etc.

Very informative and interesting, thank you. May HaShem continue to rescue you all from those who rise up to destroy you. Standing with you, always.

The Talmud teaches that non-Jews are goyim, beast without souls. To a religious Jew there is no difference between a German or an american or an African and a cow or a horse or a fish; all lesser non-Jewish forms of life, humanoid or otherwise, were put here by God to serve and pleasure the Jew. When the Jews claim that they do not practice "human" sacrifice they are by their own weird lights telling the truth. They do not consider Gentiles to be human. Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion vault.fbi.gov/protocols-of-learned-elders-of-zion/protocols-of-learned-elders-of-zion-part-01-of-01/view

Thank you so much. Going to look for more information. Love Israel and her people. Such examples to the rest of the world. G-d bless you all. 🙏🇮🇱🇿🇦

BLA BLA BLA BLA YESHUA A MESSIAH IS COMING TO JUDGE THE NATIONS. Rabbi Joseph Mizrachi said " 600 BILLIONS DESERVE TO DIE" This are the words of Yeshua a Messiah ❤️ He said WOE unto you , ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchre Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; BUT FIRST THE ANTICHU WILL COME TO DESTROY THE NATIONS

Yay!

I think it was unsettling seeing Jews rejoice at Oct 7. They made a career bringing to light the autrocity of Israel. But then they lost the humanity for their fellows. It seems to be much like how settlers lost humanity for Arabs. This is all very dystopian.😢😢

What's up with the anachronistic use of the word antisemitism?

Anti Zionism isn’t anti semitism

Thank you for explaining Crypto Jews. This is the first time I heard about them. Our family prays for the Jewish people, God’s chosen, on a regular basis.

Had to look up "tendentious". Now I know all the words, that was the last one.

If the Jewish Messiah was to come from the line of Judah, and mant Jews do not accept Jesus as Christ, where is the line of Judah now?

Shalom and Likium

Preettt😂😂😂

Noah never existed. So I never descended from him,

Yes, I would be looking forward to a list of great Ashkenazi thinkers. I'm 8 percent Ashkenazi. Generally, I'm not too fond of Americans. Self loathing jew, Sorry.

What are you doing with your talent other than burying it in digital heaven? Do something good for your fellow human being?

Professor Henry Abramson, you are a beacon of light. THANK YOU for your work. Please keep educating the world !!

Southern Baptist here! We’ve been using your videos to study the intertestamental period! We love the way you teach! Thank you!

Well I finished watching and thank you. If Hamas has no problem with the suffering of its people, Israel has had no problem in obliging dishing out the pain. It’s clear that the gains towards peace comes at the cost of the leadership of either side from their own radicals extremists. These are short videos without the details nuance and background. But what one would consider for textbook history. Which is fair.

I am up to 1978 , very clear historical background.perhaps it’s coming later but 1973 seems to be overlooked or maybe you covered it in a sentence I can’t find. Still half way through very informative

If everybody take to their hart what the rebbe taught instead of going in to speculate what he wanted after his death and to start to worshipping him.Clearly he wanted jews to follow his teaching not to make him to an idol.

BEHAVIOR.

Thanks!

They traded Sklaves.

I'm Indonesian, descent of Cochin Jews. Thanks for this lecture!! 🎉🎉🎉

The word stele i think may be pronounced shtay-lay?🤔

According to Ibn kathier not all arabs are descendants of Ishmael

The root of this war is Islam

I understand on the two competing claims each side presents. But professor in all honesty, if someone came to ur home and claimed he lived there thousands of years ago, and wants to evict u and live in ur home, how would u respond? Im just curious tbh

Bibi does this on purpose,,to trigger the antisemitism and he thinks jews will gather in israel,,,cos there is no other logic explanation after watching israelie diplomat s speeches,,,

DNA Test is forbidden in israel why?

Who made real tunnels to move around? Hamas, not the Jewish people.

anti-Semitism is alive and well in MN in hiring practices for Sabbath observers. All under the guise of Minnesota nice.

Regarding Austrian antisemitism: there was tremendous antisemitism in Austria, some would say even more than in Germany. As a classical music lover, I was interested (and disgusted) to hear about the opposition Leonard Bernstein faced when he started conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. He mentions the opposition he met against Mahler's music ("Judenmusik"), also one of the players whom he called "my Nazi trumpet player." It was really pervasive... don't know how things are today.

Jews in the west bank are subject to civil authority, arabs to military authority. Quite a difference.

The US needs to abandon Israel

Nah the Lemba did not build the Great Zimbabwe.

Just a quick correction, the CMH that over 50% of Cohen have is just Y haplogroup J. Y haplo J originated around 40,000 years ago in Caucasus/Armenian highlands, not 3,000. J is also the most common Y haplo in the middle east in general, meaning, not only are most Cohen, J, but most Yehudim and most middle eastern men. Now, the Cohen who have J are broken up into two major subgroups, J1 and J2, and each of those subgroups are broken up into multiple subgroups. J1 and J2, which DO both derive from J, diverged from one another like 35k years ago or something along those lines. This makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the majority of Cohen to be descended of Aaron or even Levi. As Aaron and Levi would have had the same Y haplo. And we know modern Levites have drastically different proportions. None the less, the CMH was further narrowed down later, and about 25% of modern Cohen DO share a common ancestor around 3,000 years ago, one of the J2 subgroups. So MAYBE this subgroup of J2 are descended of Aaron. However that is not necessarily the only way to arrive at these proportions. They could have simply outproduced the other Cohen, or Cohen might not have started out as the actual sons of Aaron. But either way, its only about 25% of Cohen of a specific subclade of J2, who share a common male ancestral line from around 3,000 years ago. Otherwise, spot on, good work as always.

Jews “live by [the commandments].” We do not find our identity in abnegation of ourself or of our people, in “martyrs’ square.”

I find Jewish history fascinating! Thank you for making these videos. Greatly appreciated. God bless you and your beautiful family.
