I never understood the word play if olives are black and green why are people called olive skinned when they are neither dark skinned or green!
The middle of the olive ……
The olive pit is a light tan color.
my skin is often green
European skin tone did not exist during that time according modern science
Because the skin has a greenish cast.
Can somebody please tell me why every time you watch a video about Judaism you get bombarded with tons of add for Jews for Jesus organizations?
CZcams + AI + Data = advertisers
That's because they are one in the same!
You're welcome 😊
Because Jews for Jebus and other evangelists target Jews for proselytizing. Don't fall for it, it's pure idolatry. The more Judaism you look up the more Xtianity will be pushed on you online
Targeted proselytization.

The beloved verse of the deluded Black Hebrew Israelites movement
Thank you for this! I'm a Jew of Berber descent and I find the history of African Jews fascinating. But it's often hard to sift through all the nonsense and pseudohistory to find real information, and I appreciate this immensely. Much love! ✡️ⵣ❤️
Hey. Would you consider Cheikh Mwijo of Berber descent by looking at him?
The only thing you need to find out is which tribe you are descendants of . A Jews belongs to 3 tribes only; Judah, Benjamin and Levi. The lost ten tribes of Israel are not Jews. The professor is wrong to say that the lost ten tribes of Israel are Jews. They are not. Simply put is that Jews no doubt are Israelites but from the nation of Judah of Judea. While the majority ( ten tribes) were never and are not Jews but Hebrew Israelites. The Torah and in the Bible says that the nation of Judah ( the Jews) were at war with the nation of Israel ( ten tribes). As soon as God separated Judah ( Jews) from Israel they became the nation of Judah of Judea. It’s king Rehoboam the son of king Solomon wanted to make war with Israel but God tell him don’t go to make war with your sister Israel.1 kings 12:23-24.
@@claudiakramer4516 It's impossible to say, because Berbers/Imazighen don't "look" like anything. Imazighen are unified by history/language/culture, not appearance; there are Imazighen so light skinned that they look white, so dark skinned that they look black, and everything in between. So, you can't really tell whether or not someone is Amazigh just by looking at them.
BS
@@eugenegarcia9415 there’s no such thing as African Jews. We are Hebrews
The only part I find funny is how today the claim to be jewish is determined by the mother, when clearly in the bible it is determined only by the father. There's no way around it, unless you want to give a bunch of old Rabbis through their gymnastics interpretation higher authority than Elohim.
I think this is an honest assessment but you're leaving out the topic of conversation that some are loudly, albeit foolishly approaching, concerning White Jewish Americans.
Can Black America point out that Jewish America is less than 2.5% of the population yet are the wealthiest of all ethnic groups? Jewish Americans are said to make up 50% of all American billionaires and 33% of all lawyers. Depending on what statistics you go by, Jewish Americans own or control at about 25 to 40% of Hollywood, music distribution, television, multimedia and radio
Granted, Kanye's outbursts are like a sawed-off shotgun blast and Kyrie Irving's DNA conversations are very naive, can the things that I've just said here, be considered antisemitic because of what they may point out?
Its by the mother, it’s clarified in the torah and talmud. The kids of moses wasn’t important, guess why. Father is your tribe, mother is your idenity.
"hahaha heeheehee im a gentile who heard of jews" wow impressive. do you think judaism is being perpetuated by people with 1 jewish parent
@ Blaclie Mahomme, Absolutely, His storyline is old. An attempt to 'put a round peg into a round hole. At least he understands that in order to claim relationship with people of The Bible, he has to acknowledge that they are not white.

Modern Ethiopia was called abbysinia. Ancient Ethiopia was huge. From southern cameroon, southern Sudan, Angola, Gabon, Uganda, Kenya, congo , Burundi, Rwanda, TANZANIA, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, bostwana, and southern Africa
Including Yemen as well
I would love to belive your claim, but I'm not even remotely able to find any evidence
@@bwanatiseBecause you don't know how to use Google. The old maps are all over the internet. You could start with Ethiopic Ocean, which is the ancient name of Atlantic Ocean off West Africa.
@@ADE-of-LAGOS I did that, extensively and I'm quite sure by this point that y'all are just LARPing.
Ethiopic ocean for example is not the ancient name, there is a history surrounding that name, but it's barely related to everything stated and not at all to a larger Ethiopia
@@bwanatise Yes, it's not related to a larger Ethiopia as people claim the whole of Africa was called. But there is a reason why Ethiopic Ocean was by West Africa, and not the ocean closest to modern Ethiopia. We shall all know why at some.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. I admit, I started with low expectations. But the information presented was incredibly fair and thorough. As a Jewish woman of African descent, I have to explain my Jewishness more often than I like. The reality is, Jews come in all colors. Yasher koach!
Ask the people that doubt you, what languages do Aramaic and Hebrew originate from?
I really hate it when one group of people appropriate another person’s culture in such a disrespectful manner-then become furious and resort to name-calling when it’s done to them.
Dr. Abramson is a really humble and loving guy, his responses to whats been going on in the social sphere was so mature and honest. I really appreciate his ability to hit you with facts and data but to still say it in a way that is respectful to all people.
Pray for Israel and its people.
'of color' - what a strange category
You are an amazing professor and historian. I compare your historical facts with the facts of black professors' historical facts on this subject. So, thank you for revealing the truth according to your tradition. Putting the puzzle together is hard work, but the truth of God's word will be revealed. Shalom 🙌🏿
Thank you for these amazing history videos. I eagerly await each new video of yours!
I would love to see one about the Ashkenazi origins, the Kelonymus family (from whom I descend) in the cities shu"m, and the mysterious genetic bottleneck.
Interesting! When you say "genetic bottleneck", are you alluding to the Roman admixture that shows up as a trace percentage in the DNA profiles of many Ashkenazi Jews?
@@ajarnwordsmith628 that's a part of it. There's much Italian DNA in Ashkenazic DNA as Prof. Abramson spoke about in a recent video. More specifically, the bottleneck refers to an indication in our DNA markers that suggest we descend from only a small number of people during the medieval period. When exactly is that period? I don't know and would love for Prof. Abramson to talk about it.
Lets talk about Moses, who we can agree was a Hebrew Israelite.
Biblically, Egypt is referred to as the land of Ham. Abraham left Ur and arrived in Egypt with 70 people where I believe his wife and sons already lived. Ham in Hebrew and Egyptian means burnt, black or hot.
Ham had four “sons”:
1 Cush (Ethiopians, Cushites Nubians)
2. Mizraim (Egyptians-Kemet)
3. Phut (Ancient Somalia)
4. Cannan (The inhabitants of Israel)
All of those nations are located on the geological tectonic plate of Africa.
Now, according to the bible, Moses was born a Hebrew. He was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi (Exodus 2:1-3). He spent 40 years in the house of Pharaoh (Acts 7:23) and was raised as the Pharaoh's grandson.
Exodus 2: 10 "And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water".
Scholars say the Pharaoh who was on the throne of Egypt at the time of Moses' birth, was Pharaoh Seti I. He was the father of Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great.
George Rawlinson, an English author wrote a book entitled 'History of Egypt". Page 252, he gives a description of Seti I.
He states: "Seti's face was thoroughly African. He had a stormy face with a depressed flat nose, thick lips and heavy chin."
Moses had the same physical characteristics because again, he was raised in the house of Pharaoh, as the grandson of Pharaoh, when he ordered all Hebrew males to be killed at birth. If the Israelites were a white-skinned people, Moses would not have survived (secretly) in the house of Pharaoh among black-skinned Egyptians for 40 years, without being noticed.
Furthermore, after giving the decree (himself) to kill all Hebrew males, how could Pharaoh face and rule over his people, if he knowingly had one living in his house with all the rights and privileges of his own family?
Moses survived 40 years in the palace of Pharaoh because he was a black man just as the Egyptians were.
Pharaoh looked into the eyes of Moses as a baby and thought this was his own flesh and blood. He looked into the eyes of Moses as a teenager and thought this was his own flesh and blood. He looked into the eyes of Moses as a young man in his 20's and 30's and thought this was his own flesh and blood. Pharaoh saw Moses grow into a man of 40 and he thought this was his own flesh and blood grandson.
Just as Joseph's brothers and the Canaanite couldn't tell the Hebrews from the Egyptians. Pharaoh couldn't tell either, or Moses would have been killed instantly.
So....what color do you think the B8blical Hebrews were?...
I see there’s no response to this question? I wonder why? And this is info straight from the Torah 😊. Enough of the shenanigans; the world is quickly learning the truth now!

The term Ethiopian mean BLACK face like the ones that the Greeks seen & were taught by. Ancient Ethiopias originate from the Omo Valley of Ethiopia, they are BLACK like the Sudanese/Nubians & Egyptians. 🙏🏿👏🏾
And the Tanakh, explains that An "Ethiopian can not change their skin" the Kebre Negast explains that the Ethiopians are a different race than Solomon and the Ethiopians are black!
@@rachelsamuel3328 Aethiops (Ethiopians) means DARK BURNT faces in Greek, the Kingdom of Cush went from Nubia/Sudan to Uganda. Alls you have yo do is look at the Greeks artwork they worshipped US. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
@@africanqueen1655 What does it matter what Ethiopia means? Please provide the Proof you insisted is in the Bible.
>>1) Show where in the bible that King David married ANY Ethiopian woman?
>> 2) Show also where King Solomon married an Ethiopian woman?

@@africanqueen1655 Who cares where the Nubians and Ethiopia were, they were Black Gentiles.
You insisted that both King David and King Solomon married these Negroes. Show where!! And show their childrens namea that never existed.
@@rachelsamuel3328 Rachael are you grown enough to comprehend that Cushites/Ethiopians, Egyptians, & Canaanites are ALL HAMITES? I just schooled you the other thread.
In Islamic tradition, Moses (peace be upon him) is described as black with kinky hair.
Who cares how Islam describes Moses.
Everyone was black in the beginning haven’t you heard of Race evolution . People started breaking of and migrating and started changing into mighty morphing power rangers , JK .Moses is an Egyptian name Islam didn’t exist then and Islam came from Saudi Arabia or the Arabian Peninsula so how would they even know. Islam is always trying to take claim of Jewish identity that’s probably why they built there mosque right over our temples.
Thank you again for another great lecture.

Before the 1494 expulsion:
"The Jews of Portugal are very dark" 'Natural History' - James Prichard Page 145
"In Medieval literature a theory prevailed in which Jews were part of the black race or at least dark skinned" 'Black in History' - Yaacov Shavit Page 182
"Strinctly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Isralite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew (white Jew) an Israelite or a Hebrew. The first Hebrews were not Jews at all" Jewish Almanac October 1980 quoted in Bantam Books Inc Page 3
I have many of these quotations from Jewish sources and elsewhere!
The great pity is that the word Jew has become synonymous with Y'sra'lite.
cool story, hahahahahahahahahahaha
@@arikohane2720
I see you like the quotations
I notice you didn’t get a response from the good Dr. If people would only do a little research and discover for themselves that there are gigantic holes in his presentation that are blown up by earlier sources. It’s almost comical now how people love to have their ears tickled by biased conjecture! Simply sad, astonishing and downright embarrassing! Perhaps Dr. Abramson can explain how he and his ancestors who have no DNA tie to the Lavent are now the descendants of the Ancient Israelites? This should be fun🍿😊.
The Doctor mentions the Ridbaz and Rabbi Ovadia of Bartenurah [who actually redeemed two of these Falashmora , as he writes to his brother in his letter]. And this was one of the main Halachic reasoning used by chief Rabbi R’ Ovadiah Yosef Zt”l .
There are two main theories to their origin. The first being since they revere King Solomon clearly in their oral tradition ( as the Doctor points out ) it is possible that they were the effect of the Queen of Sheba after she returns to her land which possibly was in Ethiopia. She adopts the Jewish religion and this was the result.
2nd that since they have the same exact bible written in Ge’ez which they share with the Ethiopian church, it is highly possible that they are a break off from the Ethiopian church . This was done by one of their leaders that claimed that the later books of the Nazarenes contradict the Old Testament. And they stayed true to the original teachings of the Torah snd called themselves Beta israel . This to differentiate between the other sects that claimed a new Israel.
Sheba is modern day Yemen and not Ethiopia
@@kelechialozie3522 Indeed according to the Muslim tradition Sheba would be in southern Arabia. It would also fit the biblical names for the children of Yokton
וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יׇקְטָֽן׃
Two sons were born to Eber: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan.
וְיׇקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־אַלְמוֹדָ֖ד וְאֶת־שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת־חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת־יָֽרַח׃
Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
וְאֶת־הֲדוֹרָ֥ם וְאֶת־אוּזָ֖ל וְאֶת־דִּקְלָֽה׃
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
וְאֶת־עוֹבָ֥ל וְאֶת־אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל וְאֶת־שְׁבָֽא׃
Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
וְאֶת־אוֹפִ֥ר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־יוֹבָ֑ב כׇּל־אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יׇקְטָֽן׃
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the descendants of Joktan.
(Bereishit 10)
Hazarmzvet is a vast area southeast of S’anah , called this way until today. Hadoram Uzal and Diklah was translated by R’ Sadiah Gaon דמאר וצנעא וצעדה. All known places in Yemen. The Jews of S’anah wrote in their Ketubot “Uzal”. So it would fit the narrative for Sheba also to be in that vicinity.
But the Ethiopians have a tradition that Sheba is on their side of the Red Sea . They also claim that their first king was a result of a union between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba .
This claim is echoed by Josephus in Antiquities. It also has a source in the verses preceding the other I just mentioned,
וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וַֽחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן׃
The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
So Sheba is mentioned by the descendants of Kush usually attributed to Ethiopia.
It seems that Sheba had roots on both sides of the Red Sea. The language of Amharic is semitic . The features of the Ethiopian is a mix of Kush from the children of Cham and Yokton from the children of Shem.
Thanks much for this fascinating presentation.
I thought Jews came from Judea, so calling the northern tribes Jews feels wrong. They were Israelites.

@HenryAbramsonPhD thank you for the lecture! Are you planning on doing a separate lecture on the Lemba Jews of Zimbabwe who were tested and found to have Cohanim DNA?
The Lemba have no Cohen DNA,
@@rachelsamuel3328 Yes they do. It has been proven scientifically. They were tested.
@@malijaqueline7625 NO they Do NOT! They showed positive to the first incorrect study that 30% of non-Jews in the control group showed positive to. The Arabs that should have no tie to Cohens showed positice, as well as Kurds and Armenians.
The Original CMH was gotten from *White Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews* that self-identified as Cohens. The original study only used 6 gene sequenced to match to make the CMH. After they saw All the people that showed positive and were not Jews, they reworked the science and used many other gene sequences to create the *Extended CMH.*
The Lemba in the latest two studies show no CMH gene sequences.
The last study by the South African Medical Journal stated.
*_While it was not possible to trace unequivocally the origins of the non-African Y chromosomes in the Lemba and the Remba, this study does not support the earlier claims if their Jewish genetic heritage"_*

@@malijaqueline7625 Henry a
Abramson is not a geneticist, and I already explained that they do NOT have the Cohen DNA, they showed positive to the first study parameters that Armenians, Kurds, Arabs and others showed positive to. It was even explained by Dr.Skorecki who did the first study that the original CMH study did not show Cohen DNA as too many that showed positive had no tie to the Jewish people. This information is all out there,
The original CMH was gotten from *White Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews that self-identified as Cohens* The Lemba did not show the Extended CMH which used over twice the gene sequences. The last Studies show the Lemba have no genetic ties to the Priesthood!!
Box wood is most definitely darker than what you displayed on screen. Anyone who played the violin knows that.
Good point. And concerning at the same time.
A violin's exterior is varnished and shellacked which darkens the wood. The interior is the natural wood and is lighter.
@@johnyarbrough502 first look at the bark of boxwood. Second even the interior which is lighter is brown just like all trees. However no one was talking about the interior, logically if they were it would apply to all trees and any type could have been mentioned. Nice try!
@@tazapawanilahrataza990 If you refer back to the original comment, it discusses color of boxwood in terms of "Anyone who played the violin knows that." The examples of boxwood in Dr. Abramson's presentation were light brown. Not the dark brown of a finished violin exterior a reference to which prompted my original comment.
@@johnyarbrough502 I know what you said and you mentioned it being varnished to darken the wood. I'm simply saying that without that when we look at the bark it already is various shades of brown which includes the darker side.

I am finding your lectures on Jewish origins interesting,. I often do wonder if current ancestry genealogy is too centred on European Jews outside the levant region and thus the dna connections may not be as clear cut yet due to sample levels. Also appreciate your admittance that Jews partook in societal acceptable things as slavery. Many shy away from this fact, but open dialogue like what you given is the way forward. Its amazing that through the years and distance travelled many smaller enclaves have upheld tradition even in the face of adversity.
Please look up School of Hebrews on yt. Please, implore you.
But you notice he DIDN'T admit that the so called African Americans are true descendants of Israel. He conveniently side step that one,lol. Also what he said about their role in slavery was a lie. They were the principle financiers of the practice and most of plantations and auction blocks were owned by them. Be very careful when listening to "Jewish" folks talk about history, your not gonna get the complete picture but a sanitized one.
That's not how DNA testing for ethnic Jews works. The genetic markers that indicate shared Jewish ancestry (all descended from The Levant) are the same for all ethnic Jews whether they are Sephardim, Ashkenazim or Mizrahim. It has nothing to do with Europe as the common DNA among all ethnic Jews that is looked for during testing is from the Middle East, not Europe. Also, the very small number of Jews who were involved in the slave trade were almost all Sephardic, not Ashkenazi.

Fascinating! A year or so ago, I was surfing the Net and came across a CZcams piece, a relatively recent interview of the current or previous Head of the Ethiopian Christian Church in modern-day Ethiopia. The elderly, dignified gentleman, dressed in magnificent vestments, spoke beautiful English and recounted a seminal moment in antiquity when Christianity first took root in Ethiopia. The gentleman stated that the first local Christians in Ethiopia were individuals converted from Judaism. Evidently, the Christianisation of Ethiopia was not fully embraced by everyone and left in place a significant number of these Jews, the Beta Israel community. B"H.
The Naked Archeologist's The Lost Tribes documentary is quite succinct in tying up loose ends of the Assyrian deported aspect of lost tribes- painting quite a circumspect narrative (which is nonetheless totally mainstream history with no Yair Davidiy brand of historical reanalysis which many tend to find so cring).
Classic, used the curse of Ham's son just like the American slave owners and Klan members. If I have my facts correct Noah had bright eyes (which could have meant anything from hazel to green), I also gather that he looked like a nephalem which if I'm not mistaken were white. Being that Noah was most likely in Africa and was married to an Ethiopian I would think that he was an albino African like Sanele Xaba. With that said, all of their children would have been of African descent which means they all had some form of brown color. Centuries and may millenia later the color began to change through warfare(rape), marriage, and climate. Just very strange to how Africa is the cradle of civilization but people seem to never acknowledge that these original people were very rich in color, people act like Ham was the only dark-skinned son that Noah had.
There is no way that Noah was Albino as they have serious medical issues due to the cell mutations, he was born white, not albino.
Ham was not cursed, Canaan was cursed. That is Christian ideology, not Jewish.
If a Jew is someone who was born to a Jewish mother, then why did the Eternal not call Sarah, Rebekah, Leah but Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Why in the sacred books is the call always to the patriarchs? In my DNA tests, I have several Jewish paternal lines that are the most studied by geneticists. And almost none maternal because it's a little more complicated to detect. I am not concerned that any Jew will accept me into their community. My question is: doesn't the Eternal know that I am his son, even though he put his sign in my DNA?
Here in Brazil, there was a soap opera about 20 years ago in which a boy from a wealthy family was kidnapped as a baby and raised by bandits until adulthood, when he himself became a burglar. When I look at the history of my DNA and I see that all I had evidence that I am a descendant of the people who call themselves Jews were some habits of my late mother and that my DNA corroborates this evidence, I feel like that fictional character who was kidnapped and completely lost his identity. So I have the consolation of thinking that the Eternal knows that I am his son and has taken care of me all my life, even though I am not living as his son.
As always incredibly enlightening....I don't think I could absorb the full history, this was comprehensive enough for a generalist like me. Of particular interest was the Brooklyn incident (Crown Something)....I had wondered where the animosity between African Americans and Jews (an animosity that cuts both ways I have found in my experience) came from, and now I think I know at least some of the story.....
Again and as always....thank you, still lots of your lectures to catch up on. Your videos are like when I find an author I enjoy and then discover that he wrote 50 books....
Thanks for the kind words.
Falasha means the ones who where forced or pressured to convert to Christianity, it is not what all Jewish Ethiopians called themselves, but only those who converted, the people who are referred to by this don't prefer this designation.
The African Hebrews have awakening, we here you Europeans loud and clear but we know who we are.
Babylon is falling. HalleluYah!
you "here" wig dementia
So at the begining the jews were black. And a niracle happen and the become leprous as snow. ?
Jews were never black. There are ancient mosaics and frescoes that show the Jews from over 2000 years ago, the Egyptians show the Jews as light sallow skinned with fringes on their clothes as the Torah demands, the Assyrians show the Israelites as Asians with straight hair,
God Bless you Abundantly Brother for sharing such superb information and history about Jews in Africa, I like all of your videos be encouraged!!
Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for bringing up the Mishnah!
Aren’t the Hebrew symbols borrowed from or shared with the Phoenician Aleph Bet?
The tribe of Dan had journey and settled for a while in Phoenician. But they are not Jews simply Hebrew Israelites ( Dannites)
phoenician came from proto sinaitic after the exodus. hebrews invented the alphabet. saying jews exist makes professors too superstitious tho
As always, it was an excellent lecture.
Great Lecture!
Thank you!
Thanks Doc.It been a long time since I ignored your channel.
But then I can't deny the fact that the first time I watched your channel I had that in me about you that you will do what you suppose to do as a descendant of the converts of my identity.
After that Ethiopian Jews episode I lost hope in you.
But today my hope is renewed after I watched for a second time this episode.
Let me say this.
The Elephant is the emblem and a clan name of the tribe of Gad ( Gatsheni/Kechene/ Mngadi)
I am glad today that a temple of Israel was discovered within the areas of the Great Elephant 🐘.
We currently live in Southern Africa and we are known as the Nguni ( Without a sin) nation.
Unfortunately I've lately discovered that the Throne of David which is the Throne of Israel is the same Throne of the Zulu kingdom .
This is because of the Throne have these three titles.
1.Bayede ( Vayetze)
2.Wena WeNdlovu ( Elephant) which is Gad.
3.Ndabezitha which is where the Name David was derived from by the European 🇪🇺 converts.
The Most convincing evidence to me is that all kings ( tribal kings within the kingdom) are titled Ndabezitha of which reminds me of Hezekiel 37.
So,this is why my hope about you is renewed.
Surely, you have more resources and you are already an established scholar in this field.
Just be honest and do what you have to do in line with the will of the CREATOR.
Nope, all fantasy!
Do you know of the Lemba tribe in ZImbabwe and South Africa?
Yeah, they're not Jews.
@@arikohane2720 You are wrong ; their DNA was taken by a professor at Duke University. They are of the Levitical tribe. Rabbi Harry Rosenberg confesses this also; you can look it up.
@@AbigailAbi-Yah
The Lemba have no Cohen DNA.
The Study in the South African Medical Journal as well as the Extended CMH. The Lemba do not show any Cohen genes.
The South African Medical Journal 2013 in their study titled, *_Lemba origins revisited: tracing the ancestry of Y chromosomes in the South African and Zimbabwean Lemba_* stated;
*While it was not possible to trace unequivocally the origins of the non-African Y chromosomes in the Lemba and Remba, this study does not support the earlier claims of their Jewish genetic heritage*
@rachelsamuel3328 The Lemba's DNA was also tested and verified by Professor Tudor Parfit, of Jewish studies, PLUS there is Archeological evidence, several prophesies, and oral tribal traditions; more and more evidence will continue to come out. Maybe you can convince someone else who doesn't know, but I've seen too much! Good day.
@@AbigailAbi-Yah No, the Lemba was not verified. The original CMH could not tell Jews, Cohen Jews, Arabs, Kurds, or Armenians apart. Obviously, if over 30% of the non-Cohen Arab controls show positive for the 6 only gene sequences. The authors of the study, Dr. Karl Skorecki and others are shown in interviews to admit that the first CMH study could not tell Cohens from Gentiles.
The geneticists tightened the parameters and used more than the 6 only genes used for the first study. The geneticists created the Extended CMH, this used more than twice the amount of gene sequences as the first study. The Extended CMH the Lemba and the Arabs were knocked out and 95% of the Actual Cohen Jews showed positive.

This lecture confirms the saying: "In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king."
As a Brooklynite I will add that the Hasidic communities have diversity in their behaviors, beliefs + practices. This includes interactions with the broader communities of their neighborhoods, same with the larger populations around the city
Just as everybody else, there are nice decent people who are either friendly or insular, but there are rude + unpleasant people as well. Outsiders don't always understand this + there's misunderstanding on both ends
I'll leave it there
Man. I wish I was born Jew, but then I realized that God has showed His abundant grace and mercies towards those who are not Israel who were not a part of the natural branch to be grafted into the olive tree. Those of us who were alienated from the Promise to Abraham through Isaac to be heirs of the promise.

If you are a descendant of 5laves in the Americas or a Bantu African you are an Israelite. Read Deuteronomy 28 and it will tell you what happened to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Bible also says they will not be free until Christ comes to redeem and regather them.

Engaging in the slave trade doesn't require ownership of slaves on a plantation. Focusing only on slave ownership in the American South, conveniently excludes all the slave owning Jews in the Northeast and Caribbean.
This has been proven to be a lie time and time again. Look at Professor Henry Gates refutation of this lie on the internet.
Further, there is no mention of participation as financiers, investors in cargo ships or corporations that profited from this horrific enterprise.
how could slaves own anything?
So will the “Jews of the Bilad al-Sudan”, be mentioned next time?
Doubt it 🤣
I am connected to that community although it has been assimilated
Some members of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria (Wedt Africa) consider themselves to be Jewish and Lemba tribe of Zimbabwe (East Africa) also consider themselves Jewish as well.
Except the Igbo have no Levantine DNA and the Lemba have Arab DNA not Israelite DNA,
Do you have Levantine DNA on your maternal side?? Italian maybe? How much Levantine DNA is significant? These antiquity DNA arguments will lead you down a rabbit’s hole from which you can’t climb out! Just stop it.

Current DNA testing will definitely clarify whether one is a descendant.

Thank you for the presentation. Always enjoyed!
*hash tag team replay
Not really. Judaism has allowed conversions since it's conception.
@@tamarleahh.2150true, but the genetic diversity from conversions is a trickle over the millennia. A lot can be (and has been) ascertained from genetic studies of different Jewish populations.
Do you really think he or any other Jewish proclaiming person will do a DNA test? It will only show us where they are truly from which we already know is not the Levant area. In fact, if they are so sure of their ancestry, I challenge them to take a DNA test to include the good Dr. Abramson and show us your results. I’ll wait 😊.
If Judaism is based on Jacob who we are told was renamed Israel, then one's Israelite Status would have to be patrilineal. Furthermore, Jacob had 12 sons and 1 daughter. We are not told that the daughter's children were Israelites. We know that the children of the 12 sons are the ones that make up the Israelites. We also know that they did not marry Israelite women since there were none. All descendants of Abraham are not Israelites but Hebrews since Abraham was not an Israelite or a Jew. There is a lot of conflation going on when you keep calling all 12 tribes Jews because only the tribe of Juda would be called Judeans and not Jews. This is the time of awakening and Africans all over the world are no longer sleeping.
research further. Abraham is a Isrealite. Judism is a false religion boo.
@ Shaka Musa, All non-European people identify their lineage through their fathers. However it was during the time of Roman domination that everyone living in Judea came be known as Jews regardless to race or ethnicity. Put its important to note that people from the Tribe of Judad were 'Judites'. The Tribe of Benjamin, 'Benjamites', etc. Jew is others called them. The only other way they would have referred to themselves would have been 'Israelite'.
@@judiththomas7431 Everyone living in Judea became known as Jews, regardless of race? Where can I find that info..Never read that in the bible..lol...
This is a very important lecture especially for members of the Jewish diaspora in the ethnically diverse Caribbean communities. Your scholarship has begun to answer the question, 'What is the colour of a Jew?'.
This question is not only relevant but particularly important to ethnically crossfertilised diverse ppopulations such as the Caribbean Communities during and after the Slave Plantatoon system of the New World.
People who are from the Caribbean are not usually Jews. Having a possible Jewish ancestor does not make you a Jew,
Also, the Lemba, who have confirmed genetic relationship to other Jews, probably originated in Yemen, now in Zimbabwe and neighboring areas
The proportion of Cohenin dna in their priestly caste is the same as New yorkers I heard
They from judea they migrated to yemen before the babylonian captivity and went into Ethiopia and went south they are the levites of the bible
The Lemba do not have any genetic relationship to ethnic Jews. DNA testing has shown no connection whatsoever.
@@arikohane2720 CZcams Shilo Ben Hod 🇮🇱 their Israeli you'll like the brother
One correction and it is a fact that the northern kingdom of Israel are never called Jews in the Bible. Joseph was not a Jew, Dan was not a Jew , Ephraim was not a jew,ect. The term Jew is the nickname for the tribe of Judah and when the tribe of Benjamin and Levi joined the tribe of Judah after the division of Israel, these three tribes became the Jews and the nation , house, or kingdom of Judah of Judea. The lost ten tribes of the nation of Israel are never called Jews. If you read Genesis 48 it was Manasseh and Ephraim the sons of Joseph whom Jacob adopted before he die and inherited them the name Israel. And it’s Manasseh was to become a great nation and Ephraim a company of nations they were to possess the gates of their enemies ect. In Genesis 49 Jacob tells rest of his sons where in the world they weee to settle as nations. What it means is that the lost ten tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel are independent nations today. One of the clues is their national seals, for example the descendants of the tribe of Manasseh who was to become a great nation is the USA. One of our national seals which is found in the dollar bill is name the seal of Manasseh which is the pyramid with the eye. Why a pyramid of Egypt , that is because Manasseh son of Joseph was half Egyptian, half Hebrew. Ephraim who was to become a company of nations; is Great Britain and its commonwealth nations the likes of Canada, Australia, South Africa ect… Great Britain national seal is the lion and a unicorn holding the crown just like it’s mentioned in the Bible for the tribe of Ephraim. It’s is the USA and Great Britain this two brothers who have possess or own the majority of the world ports and canals; like the strait of Gibraltar, the Panama Canal the Suez Canal,ect…. Now what about the other eight tribes of the lost ten tribes of Israel. Reuben is France, Dan is Denmark, Belgium , Sweden, Scotland, Ireland , Switzerland Iceland. God promise Abraham Isaac and Jacob that they were going to fathers of many nations, not just one nation; modern day state of Israel who are a small number of the Jews from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. A Jew, no doubt are Israelites but only a part 25 percent of all Israelites. But the truth is that 75 percent of Israelites ( ten tribes) never and are not Jews. Here is another truth is that the descendants of kings David have not stop being kings over Israel which we know it was Ephraim and Manasseh who inherited the name Israel and not the tribe of Judah ( Jews) so after the death of king Zedekiah of the kingdom of Judah of Judea the prophet Jeremiah took the crown and and the king s Daugthers to Ireland then Scotland finally Great Britain where it has remained. Now this kings are from the tribe of Judah; they aré Jews from the line of Sarah. David to Zedekiah was from the line of Pharez. Sarah and Pharez were twin sons of the patriarch Judah. So when small groups of people in the world say they are Jews from one of the lost ten tribes of Israel is incorrect. They are simply Jews from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi. Read Genesis 48 and 49
there are descendants of all tribes among jews. jews are simply all the israelites except samaritans
Thank you lol
The Anglo-Saxons along with the other Germanic tribes were kingdoms in the Roman empire. The Israelites from Judea were scattered among nations during the time of the Greek and Roman empires, the ten tribes were scattered by the Assyrian kingdom before this. Europeans are not Semitic!

I don't always agree with Henry Abramson opinion on text and philosophy. I really do respect the humility of the textual criticism of this lecturer. Todah Achi! May ABBA (השמ) keep you and bless you!!
Wait a minute just because, they didn't speak "Hebrew" doesn't mean they are illiterate, it's like there are multiple types of intelligences; likewise, there are multiple types of literacy skills. The fact they read "Ge'ez" a semitic language that predates Hebrew doesn't mean they were illiterate. Perhaps Abramson should try and read "Ge'ez." Had it not been for "Ge'ez" which preserved the original Book of Enoch transcript compared to the translated third book of Enoch in Hebrew makes one wonder how could Abramson make such a claim. It appears Abramson is not well researched regarding Ethiopian language. What a back handed comment. His comment bring to mind "[w]hen a fool starts an argument, he is asking for a beating. When a fool speaks, he is ruining himself; he gets caught in the trap of his own words" (Proverbs 18:6-7). More the same from a "Talmudic scholar" always putting down the intelligence(s) of the "Black" man.
Most of the Ethiopians could not read any language.
lol. he didnt mean not speaking hebrew, he meant something he said
You caught that too huh? Isn’t that something; new comers deciding who is literate. He tells us not to judge jewish slave owners for their actions yet he sits in judgement; interesting but not surprising!

Thank you for your balanced presentation DR. Abrahason.The Luhya community in East Africa have always that they came from the North beyond Egypt specifically from Israel,the early colonial historians and scholars ignored this Luhya narrative. Luhya language and cultural values and beliefs have close similarities with Hebrew language and Semetic beliefs.They have always silently claimed to have Hebrews origin in Israel and some of their traditional songs had Hebrew connections to Samaria Jerusalem, Jacob, Esau and more even before the coming of Europeans and Arabs in Kenya.Luhya are probably Israelites who are satisfied with where they are, their fertile land in Kenya and Uganda.
Not only the luhya but also youruba, esan, igbo, mende and quite a few other tribes in africa
By the way I have found that some of my roots on my mom side is from the luhya people, the yoruba have oral and written tradition of their ancestor coming out of Assyria into Egypt and fleeing down into Nigeria, this is said to have sparked the so called bantu expansion

Sure, maybe 350,000 years ago, which is when the earliest homo sapiens remains found date to. We're discussing only 3,000 years ago, and it's very likely that everyone north of the Sahara had lighter skin by then, especially when they themselves came to the Levant from further north (Mesopotamia).
And if you actually read the bible, God drowned ALL the original people, and started over with Noah born "bright White with white long hair and blue eyes".

Dr. Abramson, what does Cambridge University and other institutions of higher learning have to say about what these people looked like and where they were and how they ended up in the transatlantic slave trade? I think your followers need to deserve this information. I’m sure it’s not your intent to mislead people; right? We anxiously await you response 😊!!
There was a major conversion to Judaism during the slave trade, The trading documents referred to three families in particular: the Kehath family (Ka'ti) that came from southern Morocco and converted with the rest of the population in 1492; the Cohen family descended from the Moroccan Jewish trader al-Hajj Abd al-Salam al Kuhin, who arrived in the Timbuktu area in the 18th century; and the Abana family, which came in the first half of the 19th century. From the Jews of bilad Al Sudan

Slavery is against Torah laws .
No kidnapping or sale forced labor allowed .

Slavery trade was 99% Catholic , Protestants and Arabs ..
Yet pseudo historian s on line push this lie and nonsense as if "the Jews did slavery " .
Ignorance should be painful..
@@MitzvosGolem1 Are you saying modern Jewish ancestry did not participate in the slave trade?
I am scratching my head at something you wrote. The mass conversions of Jews to Christianity in 1492 was In Spain. Morocco was certainly NOT part of the Spanish Empire, and was in fact then as today, rulled by Muslims.
The reason that aprox 40% of the Jewish population in Spain Converted toe Catholicism was because the Church and the Crown and passed a law that Kicked out Jews from Spain. If you wished to remain you would have to convert.
It is interesting today we find (because of DNA testing) comunities in Puerto Rico, New Mexico and Colorado who are showing up as being Jewish. After studying the issues it turns out these communities married within their own communities, and it turns out these were Jews who had converted in 1492 and in order to hide fled Spain and settled in the New World. Many of these people kept customs that they had no idea what it was, such as lighting candles on friday nights, or kept some item which can be traced back to some Jewish Custom and had no idea why they were doing this.
However again the Jews of Morocco did not convert to Islam and those muslims who lived there did not convert to Judaism. So your information is certainly flawed.

What is a 'before common era'?
Before the Christian era. Since the Gregorian Calendar starts the year zero from the presumed birth of Jesus, anything before that is dated backwards from that date. So 100 years before Jesus is 100 BCE, and 1000 years before Jesus is 1000 BCE.
It is also sometime called BC, before Christ. But BCE is more politically correct, since not everybody accepts Jesus as Christ.

I know how to read between the lines. The problem is gefilte fish is mainly reserved for Ashkenazim, not even Sephardim eat that but you don't disqualify them from being "Jews" your logic is flawed.

I believe the original Jews to be Middle Eastern similar to Arabs today. But some think the Ashkenazi are Ed@mites for which I disagree, they originate from the Levant.

אודות הכושית אשר לקח
Rashi and Targum Onkelos [following the midrash]explain it over Tziporah. And although she was a Midianite and not Ethiopian, the jest of the verse is she that she was exceptional and unique as an Ethiopian dark skinned person would stick out between lighter skinned.
Similarly we find in mishnaic hebrew אתרוג הכושי.
But there was definitely a tradition of Moshe marrying a Kushit woman.
In Josephus antiquities book 2 chapter 10 …..”Tharbis was the daughter of the king of the Ethiopians: she happened to see Moses as he led the army near the walls, and fought with great courage; and admiring the subtility of his undertakings, and believing him to be the author of the Egyptians' success, when they had before despaired of recovering their liberty, and to be the occasion of the great danger the Ethiopians were in, when they had before boasted of their great achievements, she fell deeply in love with him; and upon the prevalency of that passion, sent to him the most faithful of all her servants to discourse with him about their marriage. He thereupon accepted the offer, on condition she would procure the delivering up of the city; and gave her the assurance of an oath to take her to his wife; and that when he had once taken possession of the city, he would not break his oath to her. No sooner was the agreement made, but it took effect immediately; and when Moses had cut off the Ethiopians, he gave thanks to God, and consummated his marriage, and led the Egyptians back to their own land.”

Scattered Hebrew/Israelite Tribes?
For those that claim that they are - or believe to be one of the Tribes of Israel whether
lost and/or scattered, then it would be very beneficial to believe in The Messiah now...
and not to wait. Believe in The Messiah now, because it will be much more difficult
later. The Messiah is the same Jesus (Yeshua) of Nazareth.
One of the offices of The Messiah is/was the Servant of The Lord according to the
Prophet Isaiah in Chapter 53...
Isaiah 53:10-12)
"Yet it pleased THE LORD to bruise HIM; he hath put HIM to grief: when thou shalt
make HIS SOUL an OFFERING FOR SIN, he shall see HIS SEED, he shall prolong
HIS DAYS, and the pleasure of THE LORD shall prosper in HIS HAND.
He shall SEE of the TRAVAIL of HIS SOUL, and shall be satisfied: by HIS KNOWLEDGE
shall MY RIGHTEOUS SERVANT JUSTIFY many; for HE shall BEAR their INIQUITIES.
Therefore will I divide HIM a portion with the great, and HE shall divide the spoil with the
strong; because HE hath poured out HIS SOUL unto DEATH: and HE was NUMBERED
with the TRANSGRESSORS; and HE BARE the SIN of MANY, and made INTERCESSION
for the TRANSGRESSORS."
As The SERVANT of THE LORD, he CONQUERED these three enemies:
1) The Devil; 2) Death; and 3) Hell.
The Messiah died for sinners and for their sins: Jesus of Nazareth is The Messiah. If you
could believe in The Messiah now, then you ARE part of THE CHURCH. It does not
matter if you are an Israelite or not, because if you truly believe now - then you are saved!
If you say that you are an Israelite or Hebrew and you don't believe that Jesus of Nazareth
is indeed The Messiah, and if The Church happens to get RAPTURED - then if you truly
are an Israelite/Hebrew - you will have to go through THE 70th WEEK spoken by The
Prophet Daniel in Chapter 9.
We are in the period between the 69th and 70th WEEKS: the 69th WEEK ended when
Messiah died about 2000 years ago. This period which we are currently experiencing is
called the 'Ecclesia' period or the 'Calling Out' period, or 'The Church' period. This
period will end when The Church is Raptured (Caught Out/Up).
During the 70th WEEK when The Church would have been Raptured, the Professing
Church will still remain; and it will not be a 'GOOD WEEK' for them. The Tribes of
Israel or the Hebrews - TWO-THIRDS will be wiped out, and ONE-THIRD will be
saved, but will go THROUGH THE FIRE!
Zechariah 13:8,9)
"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, TWO PARTS therein shall be
CUT OFF and DIE; but THE THIRD shall be left therein.
And I will bring THE THIRD part THROUGH THE FIRE, and will REFINE them as
SILVER is REFINED, and will TRY THEM as GOLD is TRIED: THEY shall CALL on
MY NAME, and I WILL HEAR THEM: I will say, It is MY PEOPLE: and THEY shall say,
THE LORD is MY GOD."
If you could believe RIGHT NOW, then you could be SAVED, and WILL NOT have to go
through that 70th WEEK. Believe on THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and be SAVED!
2Corinthians 6:2)
"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a TIME ACCEPTED, and in the DAY OF SALVATION
have I SUCCOURED THEE: behold, NOW is the ACCEPTED TIME; behold, NOW is
THE DAY OF SALVATION.)"
