The GENETIC Origin of the Sephardic Jews. Are They Pure Jews?

[@serfardi]

My Jewish family came to Mexico in the 1860's from Spain, and Portugal. We have always considered ourselves Serfardi. We migrated to the Carribean, Mexico and finally the United States of America.🕎

between the Ashkenazi center of Jewish learning in Krakow, Poland in the 16th century and the Sephardic and Mizrahi world. The book “Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry: From the Golden Age of Spain to Modern Times” by Zion Zohar states that Jewish scholars in Italy and the Ottoman Empire “corresponded with Ashkenazi masters of Poland and central Europe.” This increased communication was because Eretz Israel, specifically Safed in the mountains of the Upper Galilee, “regained the function of the pivot and center of Torah for the entire Jewish world.” It was during this time that Sephardic Jews exiled from Spain in 1492 began to make their way north to Poland from Italy and the Ottoman Empire. There were also Portuguese and Spanish Jews who established Sephardic communities in Paris, London, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Vienna and other areas of Western and Eastern Europe as well as in the Americas and North Africa. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews were scattered across the Ottoman Empire, which under Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century included Hungary and Romania, reaching the border with Austria and Poland. According to the YIVO Encylopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe, Sephardim were possibly the majority of Jews in Hungary and Transylvania under Turkish rule. The Sephardic Jews who migrated to Eastern Europe from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries not only included Spanish Jews but Italian Jews, Romaniote (Greek Jews) “and Arabic- and Persian-speaking Jews who were often identified as Sephardim in Eastern Europe.” Starting in 1567, Sephardic Jews settled in Galicia in the southern region of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (modern Poland and Ukraine) including Kraków, which was the Polish capital in Western Galicia, and the town of Kazimierz next to Kraków. Sephardic Jews settled in many other areas of Poland and Ukraine. Sephardic Jews from Venice and the Ottoman Empire settled in Zamość in the Lublin province of eastern Poland in 1588. According to the website eSefarad, “intermarriages between Zamość’s Sephardim and Ashkenazim started in the 1640s.” blogs.timesofisrael.com/sephardic-and-mizrahi-jews-in-ashkenazic-lands/

As a Sephardic jew, I already knew this..but I appreciate videos like this. There's a lot more details to our Sephardic history, but it's not possible to fit it all in a 10-minute video. We Sephardics most likely come from the tribe of Judah; and most were brought to the Iberian peninsula in 70 c.e. when Jerusalem was burned. However, due to some historical sources, it is believed that some jews were already living in the Iberian peninsula even before 70 c.e. Either way, we were there for a long time before we had to leave.

I find it odd that Jews are divided by Ashkenazi, Sephardi & Mizrachi but rarely is Italian (Italkim) Jews ever mentioned. After the destruction of King Solomon’s Temple, the Roman Emperor took the remaining Jews his army didn’t kill back to Rome and enslaved them. Jews remained in Italy until the fall of the Roman Empire. This is when there was migrations, some Jews migrated to Europe, others travelled to Spain, Portugal, W. Asia (Iraq, Iran, Turkey) and the remaining Jews may have felt insecure to travel into the unknown lands so they remained in Rome and/or trickled down to live in Sicily. Note all Jews remained “pure” even after the Spanish Inquisition because the non Jewish populations, even after thousands were forced to convert, were met with a stigma when it came to inter-marriage and the gene pool indifference. Italy’s Jews would marry their 2nd & 3rd paternal cousins, keeping their gene pool in tact. Six hundred years later I believe every Jew still has some Italian DNA proving their existence in Italy for centuries.

I read two books by different Jewish historians, one of whom traveled and lived in Spain. His research revealed that Jews were living in Spain before the destruction of the 2nd Temple. When the Papal bull was issued to convert Jews in Spain to catholicism and then subsequently murder and kick them out, many Sephardim would say that they had nothing to do with the crucifixion of Yeshua because their ancestors were in Spain prior to the birth and death of Yeshua. The Sephardim settled in Spain prior to the beginning of the classical Greek period according to that Jewish historian.

Many Jews were also present in the African colonies. But in the Portuguese side they really kept a low profile. Such was the trauma of the inquisition, which we were expected by the Portuguese colonial officials, to call the “Saint Inquisition”, what kind of saintly action was that? People were tortured, impaled and burnt. After the inquisition a Portuguese man called Marquêz (Marquis) de Pombal, also prosecuted Jews. However if it wasn’t for the Jews the so called “discoveries” (descobrimentos), wouldn’t have happened. The Jews were highly skilled as cartographers, and they were used to circumnavigate the globe, making possible for the crossings in the Ocean. In order to expand commerce only. Contrary to suppress or colonise other people’s land. Due to that, the Portuguese and Spanish monarchs felt the need to murder the Jews. So they would not benefit from the riches found in such lands, nor be in the way of suppressing the indigenous peoples. I’m mixed race, of African and Portuguese origin. Recently I did my DNA test, and there was 2% jewish in me. It made me very happy to be part of the Jewish history and heritage. I love the Jews. I can understand why God made them the chosen ones.

Despite the genetic data all over the web, the ashkenazim can't make a dna test in the politic state of israel.

I could let this video and its message go because there's much truth to the information, but I feel I would be amiss if I didn't comment. The info actually hurts Judaism by driving a wedge between Sephardic Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, Indian Jews (Bnei Menashe and others), Chinese Jews (Kaifeng and others), Ethiopian Jews (Beta), and other old Jewish communities around the world. When correcting the nonsensical anti-Semitic rants of Jew-haters who try to claim that the population of Israel is just an assortment of greedy European Jews or mythical descendants of Khazarian-converted Jews, I often cite Sephardic Jews of the Iberian peninsula. The Sephardic Jews pre-dated any Khazarian conversion to Judaism. Dispersing throughout Europe and the New World because of the Inquisition, they populated Europe with about as many Jews that are said to have come from Khazar. And, of course, many of their descendants wound up back in Israel during the last 100 years. However, what everyone must understand is that there is no such thing as a "pure Jew," or a "real Jew." Being Jewish (Hebrew) is a religion. It's not an ethnicity or a race. There is no "Jewish DNA." There is DNA (genes) that may identify a person as being descended from a particular geographic region, but that doesn't make a Jew, a Jew. A person is a Jew because he or she practices Judaism and follows Jewish/Hebrew traditions and teachings. A person born to two Jewish parents, or to a Jewish mother, but follows Christianity, or Islam, or Hinduism, or Buddhism is not a Jew. This person would be a Christian, muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist. An Indian Jew, or Chinese Jew, or Ethiopian Jew is as much of a Jew as me or any Jew living in Israel (my DNA, by the way, says that I have Middle Eastern genes). An Irish Catholic person is no less of a Catholic than any Catholic whose family is native to Rome. Similarly, a Pakistani muslim is no less of a muslim than an Arabian muslim. The primary reason why there is even a discussion about Ashkenazi Jews and non-Ashkenazi Jews is an attempt to de-legitimize Jewish right to a homeland. We hear, all too often: "They (Jews) should go back to Poland" and "They're not even real Jews, they're converts from Khazar." What most people - particularly the Jew-haters - don't realize is that before the fall of the Soviet Union and the migration of millions of Russian Jews to Israel, the majority of Israeli Jews were native to the Middle East. Personally, I enjoy knowing about and experiencing the differences between Sephardic/Bnei Menashe/Beta Judaism from Ashkenazi Judaism. And I believe that they all deserve a place in the Jewish homeland of Israel because they are all Jews. If the muslims of India can have an Islamic homeland (they actually have two - Pakistan and Bangladesh), if Irish Catholics can have a separate nation from Irish Protestants, and if the displaced arab muslims (Hashemite arabs) can be given 75% of British Palestine as a homeland, then Jews have the right to have a sovereign homeland - particularly on the land where the religion originated.

Why not?

[@sasajezdimirovic7862]

That’s all crap. Most of the Jews are from the European origin, first of all the most numerous Ashkenazi in Poland and ex-Russian empire, countries with weak governments where local populations mingled and accepted Judaism

[@Sevil2025]

Ashkenazi Jews are Hazar Turks. How the heck do you get light skinned Jews if they came out of North Africa? Use your common sense. Ashkenazi Jews are actually Hazar Turks who adopted the Jewish religion in order to escape Arab coorsion to become Muslim. Mizrahi Jews and the Saphardics are the real Jews.

[@geegeeh.6118]

Yes I’ve watch many KZbinrs who are Ashkenazi Jews sharing their DNA test results on KZbin and they have Eastern European and Russian ancestry.

[@zaharabardavid]

We're not from European origin. We have antiquity here in the Holy Land where our kings, patriarchs and matriarchs have been buried for more than 3500 years.

​@@zaharabardavidI am 100% ME and my Spouse is 100% European American. That makes our children lineage 50/50. U cannot bypass the maternal ancestory and ID as a full ME descent. The Ashkenazi maternal side traced back to 4 Italian women and Judaism is determined through the mother, which led to conversions. U should embrace all sides of ur heritage. There is nothing wrong with that.

[@zaharabardavid]

@@IronChin100 That's the Ashkenazim. I'm 100% Sephardi. Our ancient people have stayed Jewish by not assimilating.
