My great-grandfather lived in syria during the Ottoman empire and then came here , to México in a steam boat and was one of the founders of the biggest Damascene Sephardic Jews in México
Thank you for providing this lecture to people outside your seminary. It is so important for us to know the history of our ancestors. You are a very good speaker and it is a pleasure to listen to you.
I'm Italian and French descendent and I don't know if I have Jewish ancestors, but I believe in Judaism and I want to become a Jew and I love particularly the history and culture of Sephardic Judaism. Thanks for this video, JTS and professor Benjamin Gampel.
My #1 beef is when I see Ashkenazi "experts" and academics online trying to tell people what Sephardics are. They need to get out of the way, and listen to what the peoples' have to say. Enjoyed this video professor Gampel.
Peace. כולנו יהודים. We Ashkenazim, especially in the US, have our own share of popular fairy tales and ignorance about our history, more so than the Sephardim. I have no beef with the Sephardim. I think that Sephardi, Ashkenazi, and Mizrachi histories can be viewed as a loosely integrated whole. We didn't exist in separate boxes. There's plenty of evidence that many Sephardis made their way into Central Europe, where they adopted Yiddish and Ashkenazi culture. See "Zamosc Synagogue" in Wikipedia.
@@rolandtours8404 Hayam Solomon and sephardic jew from Poland helped General George Washington secure funds to keep the Revolutionary War going. Iam Ashkenazi and my wife is sephardic her grandparents came from Kastoria,Greece.
My take is partly that Ashkenazi are some what propagandist since they are mainly founded by the Jewish priestly class.... They carry the baton though in other words they are zealots and have always been so, they sold Jesus out since he was against their power.
Today Sefardim does not mean just Spanish Jews anymore. It goes beyond the spectrum. Anyone living in Western Europe North Africa to turkey are or are considering themselves Sefardim. To me Sefardim is people descended from Spanish Jews. Period. Ashkenazim came into the Iberian peninsula and later considered themselves Sefardim. We are not the same peoples. When the Sefardim went into upper Europe they eventually mixed with the ashkenaz. That’s why they go by mother lineage. Today you will see many ashkenazim in Spain who considers themselves sefardi. Maybe some have sefardi connection and or maybe some are just connected by religion. But what’s for sure they have infiltrated most if not all Sefardic culture.
I’ve heavy Sephardic ancestry on fathers side and full Ashkenazi on mums and I’m proud of it all. I’m 100% Israelite and my dad was a Levite who’s family fled to Spain in the AD 70s. Then they went to North Africa in 1492, Another branch ended up in Mexico. According to family myth one branch of fathers line went back to King Solomon.
AS AN HISPANIC FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷. IAM , GREAT-FULL FOR THIS TEACHINGS. IAM , A MESSIANIC SEPHARDIC JEW. AND MOST HISPANIC WHO HAVE SEARCH FOR THE HEBREW ROOTS OF THERE FAITH. !!! . 💔😢😳😱❤️👍🇺🇸🇵🇷🇮🇱👍..
Life's journey brought me from Belgium to southern Spain, where I have ended in an old Moorish village. A DNA origin test then told me i have most in common with Sephardic jews.
Thank you for these lectures. My father and uncles told me that our family is descended from Spanish Jewry and I am very interested to learn more about my heritage.
There was a tradition that were Jews in my family. Because I come from UK I had presumed they were Ashkenazim. Family Tree DNA stated that I was 4% Sephardic. Still far more European than Jewish but certainly not ashamed of my Jewish ancestry. Actually I am proud of it.
joaquin flores Same story as mine! They settled in Zacatecas Mexico after coming over from Spain with other Jewish families. The man giving this presentations actually looks just like my great great grandfather.
@@ZiggyLu-og3zp hey brother sorry I haven taken a long time to answer, yes my family is from a small town 3 hours west of Mexico city and its already bordering the state of Guerrero, I did fail to mention that eventually my family did mix with some of the local population but we still keep some traditions alive, and my dad has the same beard as the man in this video
I have Sephardic and Ephraim Jew bloodlines. My ancestors came from Spain to Puerto rico, and Portugal to Cape Verde Islands! But I know nothing about being a Jew or the religion or culture! Would be interesting to learn though! Lol many people have quoted me saying I am stingy like a Jew, hmm maybe theres some truth to that statement lol, as now I know where I truly come from!
Thank you. My mother's family moved from Portugal to Holand and they were one of the founders of the Portuguese synagogue in Amsterdam. My father's family converted to Catholicism but the Jewish tradition was not lost... it was passed on. However, it is a very difficult issue to discuss with my family elders. A Jew would be always a Jew....
very interesting series so far, I'm looking forward to the next installment.Thanx for your hard work. My ancestors name is Juiellineau--or (Elli the Jew Nonchristian) from Spain-France-Canada
My mind and my soul hunger for knowledge like this one coming from Professor Gampel. He is to me the best Surgeon in the History of Spain, unbeatable study sopported by the evidence of the documentations found diging throughly by him.
I heard that The first jews came to iberia from ancient phoenicia and there they settled, so it's much earlier than Roman Era. I'm not from jewish birth but i am pretty sure that my family is direct descendant from jews forced to conversion by the inquisition.
Esther Johnson no I found out last year because of my grandfather they tried to keep it a secret for a long time and they live in the State Of Mexico in a remote town in the mountains where years ago they found protection from the natives of that area remember in Mexico there they had the Spanish inquisition as well this was around mid 1500s wen they came to Mexico city which around this time was a spanish colony and later fleed to the mountains of el estado de Mexico the information I have is realy just a small portion that's all I know
Names on Father’s side Garza,Paz,Carrion,Figueroa Names on Mother’s side Torres,Gonzalez,Sanchez. A few of my relatives say we are Sephardic from some research they did. Wish I knew more about my ancestry.
King Solomon had businesses with Tartessic civilization, that's biblical. And Tartessos had their own coinage in which can be traced several data, that's an observative fact. From here to the story of tax collectors in those times, I'm not aware of any data from that purpose. Jews collecting taxes is only observed in Portugal kingdom formation (X century onwards), where most of the finance people were Jewish, but that's not new, it was part of the business to setup the Kingdom, and didn't change even after King João III signed he expulsion, which is a funny fact. Great history lecture on this video, appreciate it very much dear Professor Benjamim. Regards.
Bartolomeu Lanca Your absolutely right! The professor has great detail but is missing some very early points! As well as there is proof that many did leave Spain and came to America. There is a book based on the notes of Cristobal Colon and Hernan Cortez!
I so need to know more about Pajares,Ferrer,names that could connect me to my Jewish roots. If so , all of my tribe,can make aliyah! Hope this directs me?
13 minutes into this video he cites Canon 49 of the Council of Elvira. A similar translation can be found on page 6 of: The Jews of Spain by Janes S. Gerber, Publisher: The Free Press, Copyright 1992.
Dear friend, like the poet said "never ever a portuguese is a portuguese, because he is everything at the same time". Portugal was occupied over milleniums by several groups from many different backgrounds, and it carries the greatest mix of all.
Most Hispanics are of Jewish ancestry and don't even know it , if anyone is wondering about this , just try to look up your family tree and if your family comes from Spain or Portugal you have like a 98% chance of being Jewish.
Eliyahu Ortiz yes I’m my real name is Alejandra Almanza Es sefardie por que mi abuelo decendie de Judios españoles y tenia muchas palabras en ladino igual que su abuela y bisabuelos maternos Ellos llegaron a Mexico hace ya 5 generaciones y el apellido Almanza Es un pueblo en la provincia de Leon en españa y ahi habia muchas juderias y muchas familias adoptaron ese nombre despues de que fueron expulsados los Judios sefardies en 1492 por los reyes catolicos de castilla
The one remaining Sinagoga in Cordoba must have been beautiful, the remains of the carving on the walls reminded me of the Alhambra, there are still slots where the Aron Kodesh must have been. I have a relative descended from Marranos last name Pimentel whose family went to Cabo Verde Islands from Portugal.... the last stop after being hounded by the Inquisition
Had a genetic test done, my ancestry results were Ashkenazi and Sephardic from my father’s side. The Y chromosome can reveal a lot about a human being, it's amazing! What makes it more interesting is the fact that I am a Christian non-Jew and from Los Angeles. Somewhere in history my father’s ancestry either converted or lost touch with his people.
I'm from northern New Mexico, my family is catholic but has different traditions them many other catholic families around. They hold strong tradition of questioning, as well as my family history has been men of the accounting profession. My last name is a Sephardic name Arias. I've always wondered if we have Sephardic roots. And if one can return to their Jewish roots, especially if one doesn't identify as a christian,
Ronit Treatman Thank you so much. I really do appreciate the link you have provided me. I am also sorry for the bad spelling and grammar and my previous comment. I did have a broken Iphone at the time! Thank you once again, and maybe one day I can return...
honestly they are totally different ashkenazi goes through the female line and sephardic goes through the male line. Now sephardics have been persecuted where they went to new lands and mixed with locals.For the ashkenazi it is alleged that they did not mix while in erurope and kept close together. maybe thats why also ashkenazi invented liberalism and sephardic is consvertive male line
Christianity in its purest form was Judac, not the pasteurization of it by Constantine. I was told one time in a lecture that Constantine founded the Christian sect, Iprotested and was shouted down. I vindicated by a lady who had been in the lecture. This by the way was in a Spiritualist church. So one wonders about their knowledge to be polite.
He didn't change the sabbath day. He declared that Christian worship should occur on the Lord's Day which is Sunday, the first day of the week. This was done since primarily to symbolize the newness of the Christian faith as it was a Sunday when Christ was resurrected. In short: Saturday=Old Covenant, Sunday (c/o the resurrection)=New Covenant. Recall from Scripture, Christians are no longer bound by the Old Covenant (for an example, see Romans 14) thus declaring that Christians must worship on the Sabbath goes against what Scripture actually teaches.
There is an entire movement of Christians returning to their roots; Hebraic Roots. Messianic Judaism are Jews coming to Christ. Both groups are mediating toward each other. It is basically stripping away Roman-Greco influences. The true “Christian” church was born and founded in Jerusalem- not Rome. There is absolutely no scripture that states Sabbath has been abolished and Sunday was declared in its place. Read Matthew 5:17-19.
Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada was supposedly a Converso Jew who was also a Spanish Explorer form New Granada . His facial features remind me of many Ashkenazis.
Great Talk!! I wouldn't be surprised if some jews were present in Iberia before the Romans. Iberia was literally the Wild West and was already colonised by the phoenicians Who founded Malaka, Gadir and New Carthag. No wonder if jewish merchants settled along them. There was much to gain in the metal, slave and fishing market.
Romans 10, read the whole chapter to find out how to become saved. If any questions, you can reply. These earthquakes and volcanoes are here to stay until complete or when Yahusha returns.
My ancestry was Sephardc on maternal side,They were evicted from Spain , they. Came eventually to Britain I have also o have Romany Gypsy from the isle of Ireland. From the same Great Grandmother. .
I think is is sad what happened to the Shefardic Jews how they were persecuted and killed. Sad that these people had to flee. What's even more sad is that these people had to high their religion. Many Hispanics in Latin America have no idea their ancestors were Shefardic
Jay Castro my dad is Ecuadorian and Cuban and he has sephardic ancestry on both side. his paternal grandma practiced Judaism and my dad grew up knowing his dad was sephardic. but he didn't know his mom was of sephardic converso descent. her last name is Pazmiño. her sephardic ancestors converted and went to Ecuador. it's cool my dad has sephardic roots from both parents

The law about the crops is quite interesting. Christians do in fact believe in the God that gave the Torah to Moshe on Mt Sinai, the Christian blessing being rendered null and void makes absolutely no sense.
The earliest Christians were Jews. So ethnically, the early Christians and Jews were all related. So imagine this, you convert to Catholicism and ask your Jewish cousin who happens to be a rabbi to come and bless your food. Yes, they were married. No big surprise there. Christians aren't an ethnic group.
one thing to add, The sephardic line is thru the male line and for ashkenazi jews its thru the maternal line but historically the jews was a patriach religion and focuses on the male being head of household.One could say that sephardic jews are the original jews torah jews!!!
You are mistaken. There is no difference between Sephardic and Ashkenazim in regard to matrilineal decent. According to halacha (Jewish law) religious identity is based on matrilineal decent. When it comes to issues of tradition (not law, not religious identity) the husband's customs are typically followed if husband and wife have different customs.
Sephardic simply means 'Spanish', and Ashkenazi means 'across the Alps' - i.e. Central European (most of the Ashkenazi Jews are from Poland). So, these are not 'tribes', just a geographical reference.
Not at all! "Sephardic" DOES NOT IN THE LEAST mean 'Spanish' ! Greek and Yemenite Jews are called "sephardim" too! ...and... "Ashkenazi" DOES NOT IN THE LEAST mean 'across the Alps' EITHER! It comes most probably from the early Hebrew noun for "Scythian", but no one really knows for sure! Why showing off with garble? What's the point?
קַמרּז רַניבַּר Sephard = Spain; Sefard = España... Do you speak ladino?, i dont think so... Los judíos askenazim(germans) le dicen a todos los otros judíos... "sefardí", pero los sefardies somos de España y Portugal...
pedroperezfarias are you jewish? i don't think so, although my lineage is of mizrah we don't recognize ourself as mizrahi, we follow sephardi customs and traditions and we are identified as sepharidi. good day
My surname is Meachair and i can trace my family back to AD200 in Hibernia (the land of Hebrews). If we came from Iberia some time before that, when did we leave Israel? I carry Tay Sacks, Usher and the chin cleft. My Coat of Arms is blue and gold with Two crescent moons, above these two lions rampart, a sword between and a Hawk/falcon rising with a gold crescent on each wing.
@@TorahisLifeandLightThank you, that was a great help to me. Would you have more reference sites where i can discover more. My query is why there are three sets of pairs on my coat of arms, lions, moons and gold crescent wing tips. Also what do they mean. After research i conclude the falcon to mean that we are foreigners/wanderers in the land. The blue, gold and lions to represent the tribe of Judah. I am quite remote and have no connections to anyone who knows anything about Hebrews, Jews or Israel. Thanking you most sincerely, Meachair. gleesonplays@gmail.com .
@@TorahisLifeandLight How are the Magi connected to Israel? Are they Hebrew? because they were the first to recognise Jesus and there are some similarities in their customs and beliefs.
subbed, but why do Jews always end up with the same funny accent when they speak English? I do my very best to enunciate the words and have no speech impediments.
all my best friends were jews growing up, turns out i'm heavily sephardic... spiritual gifts my whole life. hope you come to christ brothers. jesus is king, shalom.
I'm greek Cypriot have no Sephardic or Ashkenazi DNA like my wife who is also greek Cypriot and has these Jewish DNAs but I had done a ancestry DNA showed me as part of galellee tombs matching DNA and kingdom of Israel in the north lost tribe nethali DNA match from what could be king Ahab of Israel before Syrian took over which Abel match Beth. Most of my DNA is from that area so are all the inhabitants of greek Cypriot of the isralite DNAs especially the one who had been killed 1974 war of turkey in the north where my family originated from that are occupied by turkey now there are Jewish graves all around.
Yep, Jesus is not only Jewish, while on this planet, he was a rabbi and would have been an orthodox one at that should he be alive today. All the first Christians were of course Jewish.
Don't confuse Judaism with Jewish ethnicity. One can be an ethnic Jew and not practice Judaism or in fact, any religion but that person is still a member of the tribe of Israel.
Ethnic jews are the palestinian who never left the land. Modern day jews come from all the ethnicities where they have been living, all the fools who do a blood test and find they are "jewish" are just a bunch of dumbs who have been scammed.
@@torian5995 You totally are an imbecile. You refuse to believe genetics, science?! The so called "palestinians" are proven to be the descendants of fairly recent immigrants into Israel mainly from egypt and arabia. They are n ot Jews let alone "ethnic" Jews... and certainly NOT aboriginal. Utter fool. LOL BTW mor0N, genetics test are not even conducted using blood. They use saliva. So how is ANYBODY with brain to take your comments seriously.
Judaism follows a matrilineal ascendancy. It's not only about DNA. Conversion to Judaism also is a pass into the nation. But IMO, it should be either parent. If I'm not mistaken, Reform Judaism follows that tenant.
Or perhaps I would find my family was Muslim from when the Moors ruled Spain & Portugal. Who knows?.......whatever I find I will be proud of regardless!
The religion of Catholicism and The Hebrew Scriptures are simply 2 separate and different religions. Catholicism was invented in 313 CE and has no Hebrew documentation at all. In fact the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that there was no Catholicism in any form in Jewish community. I fact it is of late that Catholicism has become civil.That is discounting the new Communist Pope.But at least he sounds nice YET !
What a disappointing video. I would have thought that a professor would have approached the subject in a much more scholarly way, giving references and citing his sources. You can not simply make statements like 'what the jews of Spain and Portugal like to believe'...... or state that these traditions are myths and imagined history without challenging them on the basis of research or archaeological proof. Otherwise it simply looks like the professor is promoting his own personal views as fact.
I never get a straight answer as to whom Sephardim claim as an Abrahamic matriarch. Sarah, Hagar, Keturah, or concubines? Besides Joseph and Judah... who were the wives of the other ten patriarchs in the Land of Canaan, where there were no Semite/Hebrew wives (Gen 24:1-3; 28:1-4; 37:1)? It has been my finding that Sephardim are circumcised "Shelanite" (Num 26:20) descendants of Judah via his "Canaanitess" wife (Gen 38:5, 26; 1Chr 2:3). Judah's "Canaanite" father-in-law Shuah (Gen 38:1, 2), was one of Abraham's second wife Keturah's "children"/"sons", NOT Abraham's (Gen 25:1-4; 1Chr 1:32, 33). Therefore the veiled Sephardi Abrahamic matriarch, is Keturah. Christians have been accused of Covenant Replacement Theology for 2k years. I get the distinct impression Sephardim claim themselves to be the 'new' Promised Seed of Abraham, via Abraham's second wife, Keturah. That original Replacement Covenant Theology, began with Keturah replacing Sarah; and, Keturah's son Shuah (Judah's father-in-law), replacing Isaac. And, Judah's Canaanite son Shelah, 'father' of the Shelanites (Gen 38:5, 26; Num 26:20), replaced Jacob, and his sons. A Sephardi Jew may be willing to refute my position. But, the fact remains in my discussions... their Abrahamic matriarch remain elusive, as well as definitive, or sound hermeneutics, as to whom those ten other patriarch's married in the Land of Canaan, where there were no available Semite/Hebrew brides. Earlier still, who did Shem's sons marry in a land cleared by the flood? The possibilities: (1) Shem's sons married their Japhethite/Gentile first cousins; or, (2) Shem's grandchildren were the cursed progeny of first-degree sibling incest. Before Mosaic Law, Noah said the progeny of first degree mother-son incest, is "cursed" (Canaan, Gen 9:22; Lev 18:8; 20:11). (3) Shem's sons married the 'daughters' of Ham by his nefarious, antediluvian wife, of dark and dubious ancestry (matriarch to the Babylonians, and Assyrians, Gen 10). (4) Shem's sons married the 'daughters' of Canaan, cursed progeny of incestuous Ham, and his mother, Noah's wife But, I can't get a straight answer from a Sephardic Jew, as to whom Shem's sons married, either. Who did those ten patriarch's marry? Who do the Sephardim claim as an Abrahamic matriarch? I just can't get a straight answer from them.
@@TorahisLifeandLight Matt... if you wanna unravel the mystery of the OT, start with ancestry: Jacob was 'father' of God's chosen Israelites (Deu 7:6-11), NOT Jews. Jacob's Israelite patriarchal son, 'Jewdah', was 'father' of the Jews. Problem: Judah married a "Canaanitess" (1Chr 2:3; Gen 38:2, 11) contrary to Abraham's infamous quest for a wife for Isaac (Gen 24:3), contrary to Isaac's marital instruction to Jacob (Gen 28:1-4), later contrary to God/Moses (Deu 7:1-5), and a "great trespass" according to Ezra (Ezra 9:1, 2, 7)... a forbidden marriage resulting in Judah being personally disowned in the last book of the OT according to Malachi (Mal 2:11, 12). Judah's betrothed (to his Canaanite son, Shelah, Gen 38:11-12, 26) daughter-in-law Tamar, risked death by fire (Gen 38:24), to conceive the 'illegitimate' twin sons, Pharez and Zerah. That relationship was contrary to numerous Levitical Laws. Therefore, the descendants of Pharez and Zerah ("Pharzites"/"Zarhites", Num 26:20), were under 'bondage of the law' being ineligible heirs to Judah's Promised Land in 'Jewdah'/'Jewdea' encompassing 'Jewrusalem'. But, the primary issue was which descendant lineage of prophesied Messianic Judah (Gen 49:10; Isa 65:9) would produce God's Messiah? The Shelanites? Or, Pharzites/Zarhites. By Jesus' day, those Shelanite descendants of Judah usurped the ancestral title "Jews", they squatted his Promised Land in Judah/Judea/Jerusalem, and claimed themselves to be Judah's Messianic lineage, the 'false gospel', and 'endless genealogies'. Meanwhile, as was King David, Jesus was explicitly a "Pharzite" Jew (Gen 38:28-30; Num 26:20; Mat 1:3; Luke 3:30-33). When a Pharzite/Zarhite declared Pharzite Jesus as God's Messiah, they inherently and retroactively 'legitimized' their origin, and were no longer under bondage of the Law.... Hence: Jerusalem fell 70AD. Those circumcised "Shelanites" 'got religion' following the Books of Moshe (Mat 23), being the scribes and Pharisees. Those Shelanite 'Jews' rebuked Pharizite Jesus on the grounds he wasn't a Shelanite. Pharzite Jesus spilled the beans on their lies and ancestral hypocrisy (Mat 23; Rev 2:9; 3:9), so they plotted his crucifixion (John 11:45-53). All Jews are not the same as you suggest. There are 'Jews' by geography (inhabitants of 'Jewdah's' Promised Land. And, there are 'Jews' by theology. But, the ONLY ancestrally authentic Jews were Pharzites and Zarhites, period (1Chr 4:1, contrasted with 4:21+). The only way for a Jew to scream anti-Semite, is to show me their ancestry from Pharez/Zerah, smh.
@@TorahisLifeandLight Sorry, Matt... evidently my post that I deleted was too long, and was chopped in various places. But, the bottom line... You don't think there's a single drop of Canaanite DNA in your genealogical record? Smh... And, you think Sephardim have some claim to being special? No 'skeletons' in your closet... That's rather presumptuous.
@@TorahisLifeandLight You state, "I think you are using the Scotsman fallacy to interpret Judah's choosing a Canaanite woman whom did not give him children because they all died. It's a redundant argument." Perhaps you're mistaken, Matt, "they all died"? Their son "Shelah" survived (hint) to procreate (Gen 38: 5, 26) entering Egypt, evidently childless arriving there (Gen 46:12) Gen 38:5, 26 biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/38.htm Gen 46:12 biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/46.htm Therefore, while in Egypt, Judah's Canaanite son, Shelah, by his "Canaanitess" wife (1Chr 2:3)... Shelah became 'father' of the "Shelanites", and they tagged alongside the Israelites during the Exodus (Num 26:20). 1 Chr 2:3, biblehub.com/kjv/1_chronicles/2.htm Num 26:20, biblehub.com/kjv/numbers/26.htm I've no interest in, or ever heard of the "Scotsman fallacy". But, Moses and Ezra seem to disagree with you that Judah's three sons by his Canaanitess wife "all died". Perhaps there's a motivated skeleton, namely Shelah, in your Sephardim genealogy.
@@TorahisLifeandLight So... sure, Matt. You lost the argument that Judah's three Canaanite sons by his Canaanitess wife, "all died"... Obviously, they're ALL dead. Are Judah's "Shelanite" descendants (Num 26:20) still around today? Yup... they're called Sephardic Jews, to my finding. But, Sephardim are neither ancestrally authentic, pure pedigree Hebrews, nor Israelites, although one may claim the ubiquitous title 'Jew', being of Judah... But, Judah, 'father' of the Jews, was disowned for marrying their unnamed "Canaanitess" matriarch (1Chr 2:3; Mal 2:11, 12). 1Chr 2:3 biblehub.com/kjv/1_chronicles/2.htm Mal 2:11, 12 biblehub.com/kjv/malachi/2.htm So, you claim some arrogant ancestral posterity? Neither a spot, nor blemish in your ancestral record? C'mon, Matt! Neither of us have ancient DNA to present. I'm simply a mongrel, btw. Then, it's back to the Biblical record, where I started from, that you've glossed over.
@@TorahisLifeandLight So, saying Judah's son Shelah, died, was rhetorical? Now you said, "Judah's other two sons Perez and Shelah"... "They were twins". Was that more rhetoric? Talking outta both sides of your mouth, perhaps? Freudian slip? Or, error? Perez's younger twin was Zerah, NOT Shelah. I posted that a prior lengthy reply (addressing your other questions) was chopped up, so I deleted it, and summarized. But, casting shadows in arrogant posterity is a hobby of mine. Judah was a slave-tradin' (Gen 37:27), whore-mongering (Gen 38:15-16), self-righteous sperm-donor baby daddy that abandoned Phares and Zerah (Gen 38:26). Yeah... Sephardim may very well be be Judah's descendants as a result of his philandering, LOL! Your highest hope is that she wasn't a forbidden female, smh. My bet is your 'Jewish' matriarch was Judah's Canaanitess wife. Was Shelah, an Israelite, then? Hebrew? Evidently so according to you: You claim/repeat/emphasize, "The matrilineal descend has nothing to do on determining primary ethnic descend...as i explained in my previous messages. YOU ARE WHO YOUR FATHER IS." Well... you do sit in Moses' seat, but are quite clueless to Hebrew patrilineal mention according to Biblical Hebrew custom you project being so familiar with. CONTINUED

Exactly, thank you. Ashkenazi are of khazars origin, converted to Jadaism in about A.D 850, many Arabs were Jewish before Islam, migrated to north Africa and mixed with amazigh jews especially in Spain andulos.

So what? If there hadn't existed any Jews, there wouldn'd have existed lots of things! And if the sun weren't there, either it would be constantly dark or some other star would exist...
The sephardic jews are of moorish amazigh origin, not Hebrews. Judaism was a majority religion in North Africa and the Iberian peninsula, before the existence of the roman empire. It lost popularity because, the Rabbis were too traditional and reactionary and were against any renewal, so people fled judaism and were attracted to christianity and later to Islam. Moossa Benmimoun is of moorish amazigh origin and he was a great thinker and philosopher who interpreted and modernized the Talmud.
very simple the first christians were jews. and the church was afraid they will be back in the jewish faith if they continue to intermarry and using old jewish traditions on daily life thats why many spaniards to this day have jewish dna.
It make sense that you ALWAYS know who ones' mother is but not one's father. The Jewish culture has ALWAYS been a matrilineal society, LONG B4 crusaders.
It's belived that the first jewish comunities reached shefara with the carthaginiams in 200 BC , the jewish as semitic people used to move along the world with other stronger semitic civilizations , and I pretty sure that the first christiams and jews in shefara in the first century did not know exactly the diferences between Judaims and Christanisty , about all because the old christanity on exencia is sheer Judaims
The Sephardic Jews were originally black until they were expelled. The whole story that he is telling is about blacks up until around 1550 at least. i know that he knows better(guy in video) i can only stomach up to Part 3
Really? are you an expert in human genetic? who told you that Judaism is based in history? do you understand what history is? obviously no. Judaism IS HISTORY!!!
Ashkenazi jews say that to be a Jew ones mother had to be a Jew. Dna testing says that the Cohen jews can trace their male patriarchal lineage back to 3300 years ago but dna testing also shows that only 50 percent of modern Ashkenazi women have dna of middle eastern descent. Isn't that a contradiction?
Ashkenasi are wrong in that position. If read the bible, Israel was a patriarchal nation.The idea of lineage by the mother, was invented by rabbis after the Middle Ages, when Jewish women were raped by Cruzaders. This is the origen of such idea. Bible and DNA support me.
