About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

    @@eden55272 that muslim antisemitic narrative is a blatant lie. Jewish people isolated themselves due to religion and customs so marriages with locals were forbidden and went against both communities. There was Jewish persecution in all of Europe so historically up to the 1920s and even then, marriages of Germans and Jewish Germans or Hungarians with Jewish Hungarians were frowned upon by both communities. All the Jews from Europe and Russia were direct descendants of original Jerusalem Jewish Tribes. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people migrated to (then called) Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s then after the rise of Nazism in the 1930s and escaping in the 1940s. Historically, in preWW2 Europe it was often DANGEROUS to openly claim either Jewish ancestry or following Judaism. Pre WW2 in Europe since the Middle Ages Jewish people were most often restricted to special areas in a city. They had less rights. So no reason why any non-Jewish Europeans would risk their safety or status to 'convert to Judaism" as you claim. Even between WW1 and WW2 Jewish and non-Jewish marriages rarely happened in Europe. Additionally, your intellectually dishonest muslim myth ignores how many Ashenazi and Sephardic Jews created and moved to Israel before the say, 1980s when indeed converting to Judaism became more accepted socially worldwide. Also, your comment ignores that moving to Israel is impossible unless you have JEWISH ANCESTRY on the mother's side, which is different from converting to Judaism which does not give anyone "the Right of Return". Your comment disrespects millions of Sephardic Jews and Midrachi Middle Eastern Jews who were banished from the Middle East. Shame on you with such propaganda .

    This is because the test compares your DNA with the DNA results of other people which data they have already collected and they give the answer where are you from according to the DNA of the people in different regions today .It does not take into account that people in the past moved, migrated, marry other people, etc. You can see other videos about these tests, they are not so accurate. But if you feel happy about it juste believe the test. :)

    Turns out i have Jewish roots, my grandmother on my mothers side was Jewish. After the war my mother grew up as a "normal dutch" girl and nothing jewish was left in our life. Except some rumours about us being jewish. My sister went to a Rabbi and the synagoge to kinda get a connection with her roots or something. I went to as she asked because she was afraid that she wasn't jewish and that would make it awkward. Went to chanouka a couple of times. It was really nice. But since i am not really a religious person and was a combat vet of my country and now doing stuff in politics i kinda kept considering myself "not jewish". Later we found the family documents and some of my family went to a "birthright Israel" trip and i still was like: oh nice, now my family can explore their roots, but not for me. Then 7/10 happend and start hearing stuff, out on the street and even in politics. Then they discover some photo's of me and my sis celebrating chanouka, and then all of a sudden i am in this weird dynamic where i have to defend myself (never set foot in Israel, not considering myself a jew) against vile hatefull lies and slander and anti semtism. And it just gets worse and worse each day. The thing is though (perhaps a mental disorder on my side) the more they push and pull the more i find myself saying i am indeed a jew. Kind of weird as i am better off saying "hey i am not, i never felt like one" but i just can't do that. Like some childish way of "no, because now you want to force me to not be one i am not gonna, because it is my heritage" So here i am, at night with my son and wife asleep trying to learn what a jew even is. Or what to make of all this. I don't know why i am ranting under a youtube video but yeah, guess there is no where else to go with this and it kind of clears my mind i guess.. Anyway if there are more people like me and you are reading this nonsense rant. Stay ok out there, and even if it is childish no one has the right to choose for you what you do with your heritage..

    It's nice that you're trying to learn more about your roots :) Feel free to ask me questions, but here are some things I'd check out if you want to learn more: 1. Chabad (both in-person & website) They are very accepting to non-religious Jews & religious Jews alike, and would be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Their website gives tons of info on Jewish beliefs and practices, too.. It's definitely a great start to finding out more! 2. Living L'chaim - Simply because it's a Jewish podcast and it can help you connect with Jewish people more by listening to their stories (it's predominantly religious Jews that are interviewed, though) 3. Shloime Zionce - Someone to relate to (though, again, religious) 4. Jewish Songs (you can check my playlist if you want a start lol) From those four, you can connect to your heritage, but if you want to understand the religion a bit more I'd recommend: Rabbi's like Y.Y. Jacobson (very popular from non-Jews all the way to hasidic Jews) R' Lawrence Kelemen also gives great speeches and another popular one is rabbi lord jonathan sacks who passed away, but has a lot of great stuff to check out. Hope this helps 🤗

    @kiavra1789 thank you so much ! I am sure that it will help me to reconnect. Will check out the websites. My plan of attack was to first get to know more about the culture and then move on to religion. As in my country and region, there are almost no jews left after ww2. (I looked into the register, and there were 10 in my city, 5 of them 1 family that came here because of the university.. so, not really a group I can walk into to learn, so it really helps to have another place to connect.) Stumbled my way to this channel, and that was cool too. I do have a question already, though. I bought a keppah, but is that like something I am allowed to put on already, or is that a thing where you first need to go to a rabbi. (I already know one from my sister's attempt to reconnect, and he invited me, but that is still quite scary somehow)

The original CMH (Cohen Modal Haplotype) was tested in 1996, and 2000 when DNA testing was in its infancy. Dr.Karl Skorecki tested Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews that self-identified as Cohanim. From these "White" Jews, they came up with 6 gene sequences that most had, they labeled this as the CMH. The problem was that the control group which was mostly Arabs that had no known tie to Jews, let alone the High Priests over 30% of these people also showed positive for these gene sequences. In later testing they tightened the parameters of the DNA testing and used more gene sequences to create the *_Extended CMH,_* when the Arabs and the Lemba were tested against the Extended CMH, neither group had these genes, while 95% of the Cohen Jews showed positive. The Lemba was tested again in 2013, by the South African Medical Journal, the study called, *_"Lemba origins revisited: tracing the ancestry of Y chromosomes in South African and Zimbabwean Lemba"_* the study concluded; *_"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"_* Any questions? I work with DNA and have read all the studies the Lemba were tested in. They have no Israelite DNA, they have no High Priests DNA.

    @@michaelmenkes7233 The Jewish nation starts and ends with God - not rabbis or anyone else. In the Bible, God traces lineage strictly through fathers, not mothers. A great example (of many examples) is the decendancy of King David himself in Ruth 4:18-22. Nowhere, does God say a child is Jewish because of the mother. The belief by some that the mother is responsible for the 'Jewish blood' is false because scientifically the child's blood neither comes from the father nor mother. In addition, their blood doesn't mix throughout pregnancy. And nowhere does God say someone can be Jewish through conversion (another lie believed by some). Ruth was still referred to as Moabite, Joseph's wife was still referred to as Egyptian, the list goes on of foreigners who put their faith in God. God still referred to them by their ethnic backgrounds. We're all traced (Jew or not) through our fathers, back to Adam, and from Adam back to God. God doesn't trace humanity (Jewish or not) through women - read the genealogies in the book of Genesis and Noah. Even Eve herself came from Adam.

    Genetic studies have also shown that Palestinians and Jews are very closely related. In fact, many Palestinians might be descended from Jews who converted to Islam during the Arab Empire so that they could assimilate and have lower taxes. Back then, Islam and Judaism were very compatible religions - both being monotheistic. If this is true, then we must find a way to live with our distant cousins, rather than trying to expel or exterminate each other.

    I don't know any Jewish Chapmans and am not aware that the name among Jews is associated with the priesthood (as are various other names, such as Cohen and Katz). But keep in mind, Jews sometimes Anglicized their names based on sound alone. It's possible that a number of Jews chose the name "Chapman" not because they were merchants but because "Chapman" vaguely sounded like an English version of a name they previously carried (for example, Kaplan, which is indeed associated with the priesthood).

    Chapmen were mostly itinerant merchants -- have packhorse, will trade. Etymologically, I think the name derived from "cheap", which, back in medieval England, meant "market". The London district named Cheapside probably earned its name from trade. You're undoubtedly correct about the phenomenon of anglicization, though Kaplan probably became English variants of Caplan, via Old French and "the medieval English word "chapelain", meaning "charity priest"". The video's researchers might have muddled Caplan with Chapman. I thought any association with Chapman might have stemmed from the restriction of Jews to some professions -- merchants and usurers. However, after Edward I's disgusting thievery via the Edict of Expulsion (1290), only conversion would have permitted those with Jewish DNA to remain in England. @@sganot

    There is one study, that is very bias, if you read the study almost every gene they did not know the origin they put as "probrably european" the study itself cites "the khazar theory" something that there is no historical evidence and should not be on a genetic study article, since is a matter of history and not genetics, and contradicts every other genetic study done on ashkenazi jews, and that is acknowledge even by the authors in the introduction. Is not easy to trace the genetics from a population to other 2k years ago and there is a lot of gene pools to pick and choose, but the majority does indicated a partial middle eastern origin to ashkenazi jews, there is no proof of khazar DNA in Jews, that study said most jewish genes that we study in this article are "probrably european" and said its "probrably khazar" but no direct link. its important to understand that genetics does not define culture, genetic tests are just for fun and historical purpose, means nothing in terms of your ethnicity

When he drew the horizon’s circle on the deep, 28 when he set the skies above in place, when the fountains of the deep poured forth, 29 when he prescribed boundaries for the sea, so that its water would not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 I was with him as someone he could trust. For me, every day was pure delight, as I played in his presence all the time,. 31 playing everywhere on his earth, and delighting to be with humankind. 32 “Therefore, children, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and grow wise; do not refuse it. 34 How happy the person who listens to me, who watches daily at my gates and waits outside my doors. 35 For he who finds me finds life and obtains the favor of Adonai. 36 But he who misses me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

You can find Palestinians who has nothing to do too with Middle East DNA. Example: when France colonized Algeria Ami abdul Kader was expelled and people who followed him, they were in Syria and Palestine and Algeria never gave them right to return. Some of those Palestinians from Algeria origins were expelled too from Palestine, some not. It’s not about fear it’s about respecting each other.

    I also know someone who is relative of Jews. Jews call them cousins in a friendly way. The children of Muhammad. One of them wears a Black Turban and is the Supreme Leader of Iran. "The children of Prophets"

    No, Jews are not genetically related. Israelis are not Jews, they are European converts. Netanyahu is of Polish convert background.

    If they converted to Judaism, they're still Jews. Judaism is a religion.

    There is not one genetic study that shows Jews are converts. And, Eighty percent of Israeli Jews are Sabras! Sixty percent of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi Jews forced out of the Arab and Muslim countries because Israel became a state, they have NOTHING to do with Europe. There are less than twenty percent of Israeli Jews from Europe, and most are recent immigrants from Ukraine and Russia because of the war. Geneticists have proven there are a *less than half a percent of converts per generation* amongst Jews. Perhaps, educate yourself!!
