Origins of Ashkenazi Jews (Ashkenazium Lectures Part 1) 

Thank you for the kind words. I came to the comments looking for answers because my ancestry shows 4% Sub-Saharan African. This is puzzling to me, and unfortunately, I haven't found many other Jews who share my curiosity about the history of our people. I've only recently learned about Jews in East Africa, so this is only my theory. There's a place there called Eritrea, the people are known as Eritreans. Haile Selassie was an Eritreans. I despise the term "real Jew", as its used against me for my views on Israel's treatment of the Palestinians(with whom we are *genetically* linked to). So I'll say "the original twelve tribes." I suspect the Eritreans are at the very least, 1 of the original 12, or possibly a mesh of all 12. The reason why Ashkenazi are lighter skinned is because we sought refuge in a European kingdom of converts known as Khazaria and assimilated. I assumed that I was darker skinned because of Ghengis Kahn and the Mongolians that destroyed the kingdom. Apparently not, nor was there any Hispanic, Italian or Indigenous dna. So it can only be the Sub-Saharan African dna because everything else was Ashkenazi or Anglo-Saxon (post-viking British). I'd love to hear what you find, assuming you have surviving family members who can shed some light on it.

eastern europe isn’t ashkenazi jewish

Your sentiment seems appealing, but Allaah Himself loves and hates. Therefore I can only love you if you are an Orthodox Muslim… I respect your rights though… I advise you to read the Muhsin-Khan translation of the Quran. فالسلام على من اتبع الهدى

Families true history is probably to crazy to imagine and probably too painful too. But it’s a better today than yesterday and may Tomorrow be better than what we had. 🙂

@Coke: Jiles- Zachary Shamon Mac Leod There is a difference between Israelites, and “Jews”. These AshkaNAZI are from the line of Gomer, who came from Japheth - not Shem. Another “strong delusion” brought on as a direct result of The Balfour Declaration.

My family on both my mother's and father's sides immigrated from the Volga region to Russia. Several years before my father passed, he told me that his family was Jewish, entered the USA as Christian. So your lectures have been very informative and very interesting. I understand when my grandparents decided to leave Russia (1926) that being Jewish made it difficult to immigrate. God Bless them.

Behar understates European ancestry in Ashkenazim according to other legitimate geneticists, which some claim up to 90% maternal lineage. Abramson should use a variety of sources if he’s to be taken seriously.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD hi, I'm not Jewish and came across your lecture by accident but you got me hooked ;) Just thought to add my 10 cents regarding the word 'genize' (the safekeeping place). It might come from the same ancient root as the word Genje which is used by the Persians and Azeri Turks today and means 'a treasure chest'. Btw, there's a city in Azerbaijan named Ganja, and from what I know a lot of Jews have always lived in and around that city. There has always been a big Ashkenazi (European) Jewish community in Azerbaijan but besides that, there are local, non-Ashkenazi ones that lived there from back God knows when. They are called Tats ("a" as in the word 'car'). Wonder where they came from?

I do believe that Askenazi Jews stem from the 2 Temple destruction when Romans conquered Jerusalem, 7M Jews around that dispersed into Southwestern and Eastern Europe, other countries as well

Can you prove they are Jewish. When did they convert? They are modern Jews

@@cyrilsneer5957 Most of Jews from Askenazi and North African and Sephardic have similar dna, when Rome attack the 2nd Temple most of Jews that are Ashkenazi were slaves and rest went into Europe

@@cyrilsneer5957 When the First Temple destruw Happened Northern tribe, the 10 Scattered and Rest stayed in South of Jeruso, there were still enough Jews till 2nd Temple Destruction

Glad you enjoyed it!

Because askenazi Jews are white Europeans.

Wow! Best of luck on your journey of discovering your Jewish ancestry!

How on earth can a DNA test test for Askenazi genes? That's absolutely ridiculous.

I think I can give you a very probable explanation, going back just a few generations. Sweden was one of the first countries to receive Jewish children smuggled out of Europe by the French resistance early on after Nazis came to power. These children were not "orphans". Not in the least. They just had Jewish parents who knew they were going to be shipped off to ghettos or camps, and made the very difficult decision to provide for their children, so they could stay safely in Sweden. It was all done in secret. And hoped that they could live through the war to reunite later with their children. And children waited for years to be reunited with their parents after the war. There are many stories about what Sweden and the Red Cross did for years for these kids. The Swedes gathered lists of people that had died in the camps, or people who may have died of disease before their family ever got to the camp. So for each child they could confirm whether there was still a living parent, and a close living relative. Took care of these children for many many years. Very impressive. If both parents were confirmed deceased, and no living relative could be found, these kids were hopefully found forever families. Some children found out that one parent died in the camps but nothing was known about the other. A lot of children were eventually adopted by not only Swedes but also English or American, etc. These kids were saved the horrors of seeing their parents dragged off by the Nazis, Or going to the camps themselves......but still had many problems, waiting for parents for years. I remember the story of one woman who stayed there until she was 18, helping with teaching the younger kids in the school they had set up. While also attending classes. Brilliant student; eventually became a nurse. I remember the story of one man, adopted by an American family, whose father died in the camps, but he never gave up hope in his biological mother eventually turning up. He was adpopted eventually. To Wisconsin or Minnesota, I think. And sure enough, through the most incredulous twisty story, somehow a friend read the name of his mother 1000 miles away living in Chicago. Could this possibly be a woman in her late sixties who had lived in the place where her friend had been born fifty years before? The friend contacted her somehow to see if it could be a woman of the same vintage and ethnic origins....................and confirmed that it was. But there could have been many women with that name from that same town/city. But she passed the info onto her friend. He was overwhelmed, needless to say. But I think it took him over a year to try and make contact with the woman in Chicago. But the same friend told him if he waited any longer, he might not have the chance to meet this woman. Only a photograph left behind. So he took the bull by the horns, called her, and made his way to Chicago. I seem to remember that her name appeared in a wedding announcement in the Chicago news paper. And even though the last time they had seen each other was when he was four years old, both he and his mother knew immediately upon seeing each that this long long separation had finally come full circle. I'm not sure if his adoptive parents were still alive. But he and his mother kept in touch and developed a very incredible relationship. And he found out that he had some half-siblings as well. So no matter what age you are, you might find that one of your birth parents had been lucky enough to have been saved by a historic, incredible midnight trip, across the Baltic, in a boat, in the black of night, with the help of Sweden. It was an incredibly courageous program for the Swedes and dangerous for all the resistance fighters in Europe..............and I believe that both Sweden and Finland at that time were still under the Nazi rule, as were the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia across the Baltic to the East. I never had my DNA tested, but I know that all my relatives going back to 1800 were all Ashkenazi Jews, and when you go back that many generations that pretty much covers enough for me. I was lucky in that my relatives basically sent over the patriarch and eldest son basically in most of the families, while matriarch and all the rest of the kids stayed in Europe. And eventually, were able to send enough money home for the rest of their families to come to join them here in America. It took years for this to happen. But everyone got out by 1900.

one of your parents is 100% jewish and the other has some jewish dna

Yup

@@HenryAbramsonPhD You'll have to FORGIVE me for asking on this totally unrelated video! Great book, love the practical, contemporary examples!

Dear Rabbi, Would any of these people be the descendants of the tribes of Israel that were forcibly settled in the area north of Assyria, as detailed in 2 Kings 18:11. Could they be the descendants of the people refered to by Amos 7:16, 9:8, 14 and Hosea 1:10. My concern here is that as the Assyrians did not have the letter I in their alphabet, when they referred to the Saca Sythians a probability is they were referring to the sons of Isaac. The region is correct, the lively hood is correct (sheep herders), and, as I believe, the prophets are correct. Also, the time is correct. I look forward to understanding more about my roots, if you can help. Thakyou

@@davidt3698 he's not a Rabbi All tribal ancestry will be revealed during the time of Mashiach's arrival

A vast number of Germans left Germany for North America during the 1840s because of the availability of farmland and freedom from feudal laws. There were very few Jews in North America before this point, but those who were in Germany were in schism -- the birth of Reform Judaism after the end of the ghettos. America was always the place people could remake themselves. But also, the increase in Jewish population in Russia and Poland and the reluctance of the Tsars to liberalize laws drove a huge number of Jews westward to more liberal Germany and Austria-Hungary. But many did not stop there. Especially after 1881 (the assassination of Tsar Alexander II), there were many impositions on the shtetls and the beginnings of pogroms, especially in Ukraine. Jews began to head for America and Canada. This is when American Jewry grew by leaps and bounds.

I'm confused about how the word "agnostic" is pronounced. I see dictionaries showing it as being pronounced like it's spelled. If I understand correctly here, the prefix "a" is basically translated as no, not, or non. For example, you take the word "theistic" and add the prefix "a" and get "atheistic". In the word "gnostic", the g is silent. It seems logical to me that in the word "agnostic", the g would be silent as well.

The Khazarian topic attracts far too many distracting, foolish questions. Koestler's work is not worth considering as a serious source.

Good question

​@HenryAbramsonPhD good thinking. Opening those videos up for comments would be an invitation to one big chazzerai.

Josephus left two works -- one, usually called The Jewish Wars, is easy to find in translation and describes the history of the Holy Land for the hundred years culminating in the destruction of the Herodian Temple in 70a.d. It is almost the only work on the history of this period that we possess! The other, usually called "The Antiquities of the Jews," is his attempt to explain the Jews to his new masters and friends, the Romans (who found Jewish history fascinating if incomprehensible). Most of it is a paraphrase of the narrative in the Bible, but it leaves many things out and puts many things in. What Josephus' sources were, how much he actually knew, what he was inventing or guessing (and as with all sources that old, none of his population figures are at all reliable) is a matter of intense debate!

The funniest part of this equation is the fact that absolutely most Ashkenazis trace their genetics back to a very few European mothers who converted to Judaism. So by their own logic they simply aren't even Jewish.

No...

You are so welcome!

Amazing comment.! According to my Ancestry DNA results, I have Eastern European Jewish background. My father's ancestors came from Central Italy...Abrussese region

Contemporary Eastern European Jews comprise the largest ethno-religious aggregate of modern Jewish communities, accounting for approximately 90% of over 13 million Jews worldwide (Ostrer 2001).

As he states clearly, the overwhelming majority of the Ashkenazim of eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine -- and the USA) can be traced to the lineages of four women who lived in northern Italy in pre-medieval times.

@@johnyohalem6507 ok, so the line of Shem is the only Real linage and Shem chose to abandon their linage name in order to called themselves by a fictional gentile lineage of people? ok.

If you look at the ways the Hebrews described themselves in the bible, you can see that the askenazi Jews are just European converts. As a matter of fact everyone talks abourpf Jews, but Judaism is just a religion. The real ethnic people are Hebrews. And they have nothing to do with askenazi Jews.

The people of Ashkenazi are those that enslaved our people, and are now giving real SHEMITES in Palestine a God damn nightmare with the worlds largest open air prison, I mean Palestinians can't even leave their land without permission from Ashkenaz. so why do they treat others the same way they said hitlers germany treated them in 1939.

Can you tell me more about this connection?

@@jsw7814 Klezmer is folk music of the Ashkenazi Jews of eastern and central Europe, and the traditional sound seems to have some Turkish influence. I looked for the Turkish connection to that area - mainly southwestern Russia - and learned that that area had originally been Turkic, before the Slavs took over. Exploring that history further, I discovered Khazaria. Discussions of Khazaria that I've seen in recent years have been irrational, because everyone is trying to skew it to suit current social/political aims. Khazaria hasn't existed for over a millennium, and has no effect on the current scene. It is insane for non-Jews to assert their opinions of who "real" and "fake" Jews are, and for others to take those opinions seriously. I think that is just the latest gimmick coming from neo-Nazis.

Haters will always be anti semetic in different ways

“Europe” and “Middle East” are not races; they are geographic regions, the populations in them closely related. AJ are not “half Middle Eastern half European” nor are their genetics more interesting than the genetics of other Jewish communities, let alone other Jewish communities that formed in Europe. That “white coloniser” routine isn’t common outside of American left who themselves are the laughingstock of the world. It can be disproved in many ways and genetics aren’t one.

That's absolutely no evidence for anything khazar.

Arlene Doron Behar has proven the Khazar theory to be false.

Agree, take a DNA test so you can put this Khazari myth to bed. By and large, Ashkenazi Jews are a fairly equal mix of Levantine and Southern European DNA.

AND U MISSED THE LESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you alread that the real jews are black and moses was also a black man

Elhaik had to recant his allegation that the Ashkenazi were converted Khazars after being outed by the very researchers who supplied his genome study with the genome datasets for tweaking the data to force his predetermined outcome. This is called fraud, not science. The Ashkenazi Jews have since been repeatedly confirmed to carry the authentic Semitic/Levant genome. It is now also known that over 40% of the Ashkenazi are descended from only four Hebrew females who migrated to Europe over 1,000 years ago.

@@intelin123 All of the ancient people groups indigenous to the Fertile Crescent/Levant of the Near & Middle East were, and still are, Levantine caucasoids who share a genetic kinship - Hebrews, Assyrians, Lebanese, etc. This is proven by all ancient forensics, the Bible, all ancient secular recorded history, and by literally thousands of years of geographical area artworks ranging glyphs to murals, mosaics, portraits, and statuary. Blacks are indigenous to the sub-Saharan of West Africa, much, much further south and on an entirely different continent. This is why all ancient Hebraic synagogue artworks - made by the hands of the ancient Hebrews themselves, and unearthed from excavation sites all across the landscape of ancient Israel/Judaea - reveal an exclusively caucasoid Hebrew population, and without exception. This is consistent whether you peruse the very ancient mosaics from Dura Europos, Tzippori, the Galilean or Judean Desert sites, Beit Alpha, Huqoq, Hamat Tiberius, or any others. You have a better chance of being a French fry than a Hebrew.

Askenazi dna = Turkic Dna 🧬

Excellent points.......Funny, no reply just "crickets"

So supposedly DNA evidence is wrong because you say so? Sir you seem to be a bit obsessed with this. It’s a myth with a purpose. That being to try and discredit somehow the ancient history of the Jewish people and the very real diaspora. We know where Ashkenazi Jews came from and like the professor here says there are ample proofs in written history, linguistic history, and DNA. You need to let this go

The women converted

Modern rabbinical Judaism is matrilineal, yes. But at many points in pre-modern Jewish history it was not uncommon for Jewish men to marry non-Jewish women, as long the latter converted to Judaism. A woman who converts to Judaism has the same status as a woman who is born Jewish, and the descendants of such a woman will be considered Jewish. This practice was probably more common in the first millennium C.E. and afterwards discouraged for a number of reasons both internal and external to Jewish communities, but it is a factor nonetheless.

Shalom,stop. White people and their cousins have nothing to do with us. We are Shemites. Socalled Negros. We are not a religious sect, we are the religion.
