    I recently took my heritage DNA test and discovered I have 5.4 Ashkanazi Jewish, 3.4 middle eastern, 4.8 Scandinavian, 38.9 Iberian, 15.28 mesoamerican and andian. The rest from about 8 different regions in Africa. I’m a Hispanic believer, born in Brooklyn, NY. My parents were born in Puerto Rico. My parents are dead. My mother was an orphan and my father the son of a minister. My grandpa was a pastor in Brooklyn for many years. I was always drawn to the faith and gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ when I was 15 years old. Finding out that I have Jewish DNA has overwhelm me with joy and curiosity. What. Do I do now? If my aunts and uncles have not been tested, I will provide them with the kits. I would love to learn more about my Christian Jew heritage. God bless.

    I actually just took the Family Tree DNA test (as well as AncestryDNA & 23andMe) after we learned we had some Jewish ancestry when my older sister found out she had BRCA1 breast cancer that is only found in Ashkenazi Jews. My father was adopted and we were shocked to found out he was half Jewish. Which is ironic because he was an evangelical christian minister who was also in love with Israel. He even studied there a year in college. He would have loved to have found he was Jewish, unfortunately he has early onset dementia today :( Anyway, that's kind of a long story. I started making my own Vlog about it on my channel. if you get a chance check it out! Cheers!

    It appears no DNA company is actually testing for those markers. Interesting, since there were 12 Tribes.

    1492 the Sephardic Jew eventually arrived with Spaniards to the Americas, a lot of people of Hispanic decent locate their DNA match to the Iberian location/Spain.

    There are many Sephardic Jews who went to The Balkans/Ottoman empire/ Greece/Turkey. WW 2 decimated many Sephardic Jews from Greece.

    Greenspan delivered a guest lecture in Israel on Wednesday at the Netanya Academic College on the DNA of the Jews. Nothing more than a bit of saliva, insists the entrepreneur and genealogy enthusiast, is required to prove the similarities in the genetic make-up of most Jewish men and women, and that’s because their ancestors once lived the same place. In response to a question from Haaretz, Greenspan said he estimates that “No less than 75 percent of Ashekanzi, Sephardi or Mizrahi Jews, their ancestors came from what we call the general Middle East” - an assessment which he says is based on his company’s database.

    Well I have a lot of reason to believe I am a descendant of the Tribe of Levi. Sadly from the information I see from this DNA testing it would be of no use for me. This seems based only to the Tribe of Judah. What about the other Tribes of Israel?

    I was born in 1948 and always had mostly Jewish friends.I have a very great love for Israel. Some of my ancestors were apparently Jewish, but hid it. Sadly my DNA test says I have zero percent Jewish DNA. I feel that's impossible!!

    Shalom! We recommend getting in touch with any Israel Embassy or Consulate and posing that question to them directly. That's because different websites will give you different information. For example, some sources say it's only by court order. Meanwhile, other web sources infer that Israel's genetic information Law says that court order is not the only way - a doctors prescription is equally acceptable. One reason why one would take a test is to prove their Jewishness in order to make Aliyah and become an Israeli citizen. However, the argument about why it might or might not be legal is to protect from the designation of Mamzer - which might prove if someone has been born out of wedlock. These are a few sources you can read more about this: poe.com/poeknowledge/1512928000295236 and lawoffice.org.il/en/israeli-citizenship-dna-test/

    The 10 northern tribes of israel are not Jews by definition. Jews are Israelites from Judea, the 10 israelite tribes are not.

    The term jew on a collective level is believed to be all these people who claim to be the bible related group. Unfortunetly, little know or pay attention to what jew actually means...and who israel actually was. So, yea..someone can be israelite (be relared to one of the 12 ancient tribes of israel) and have 0 jewishness in their blood (no relation to the tribe of judah..yehuda)

    Why do people deny Askhenazi Jews are Khazars? It is a very obvious theory. Just look at the traditional hats of North Caucasian ethnic groups. How did they arrive from Italy to Ukraine if the genetic tests are correct?

    Yiddish the language of the Ashkenazi Jews is Middle high German with loan words from Hebrew Aramaic and a touch of slavic. Many Ashkenazi Jews settled along the Rhine River in cities like Mainz.

    The jewish agency has been one of our jewish bodies that help block many full jewish people in being able to make aliyah to Israel.Who are these blocked that I know of they are jewish people who believe. Yeshua is The Mashiach/Messiah.I am one of those and so I know this kvetch reason why I bring this issue up.

    By Israeli law DNA is not enough for Aaliyah. You must be a practicing Jew In the tradition of the jewish people. If you can establish that you qualify.

    I feel that is very wrong. Adonai gave the Torah and selected a special people. Not all of them chose life and kept His Torah, yet they are granted asylum for “technically” they might have been raised by Jews who went to a Synagogue. Yet there may be Jews who follow the Torah, love Adonai and practice the Sabbath who are not allowed for in addition to upholding the Torah, they acknowledge Yeshua as the Messiah. They prefer Jews who despise the Torah. But they also allow on the land promised to the Israelites Catholics who practice paganism, wealthy foreigners who worship other gods, and many false.christians, for if they believed in Yeshua, they would also believe in the Torah.
