7. Danger to Judaism
(04.24.18)
"A idolater who comes to accept the [entire] Torah except for one thing – we do not accept him. R. Yose bar Yehuda says: Even a single detail of rabbinic law. (Bekhorot 30b)"
The article does not convey the impression that certain people fully, truly fully accepted the yoke of Torah and Mitzvot
8. #3 Yes, what endears people to christianity ?

9. I close my eyes and imagine myself at the Western Wall in J
ex-Oleh Chadash   (04.26.18)
You don't know what you talk about. Living in Israel is a nightmare, not a dream.
Stay where you are.
This is bovarism....
10. Shavei never answered me.
David   (05.03.18)
I am a Mexican American with Sephardic ancestry. I also have the DNA. I wrote to Shavei and told my story and never heard anything back. It's frustrating to see people with NO connection to the Jewish people or Israel to be welcomed but those that do are ignored.
11. Nonsense #9
Sholem ,   Dolev   (05.04.18)
Living in Israel is a holy privilege, I've been here 16 years, had 8 kids, served 5 years in the border police. Free education, free health, abundance of jobs, technology, kosher food just about everywhere, shuls everywhere, and you're even doing a mitzva by just living here.

Boruch Hashem
12. Steve,
Sholem ,   Dolev   (05.04.18)
You are really full of hate aren't you!
Judaism isn't measured by DNA, Judaism is a religion.
13. Sorry, I am underwhelmed.
Dust Grain   (05.12.18)
Not only does an apparently prominent figure of this community emotionally disclose that she imagines herself every day at the Western Wall in Jerusalem while praying, thereby missing the entire point of Judaism where the holiest site (Har HaBayit, the Temple Mt.) is concerned, but in most cases their husbands are Catholic, even after nearly a century has passed since the community was founded.
If they do not correct these two faults ASAP, their potential disappearance will not be a terrible loss.
14. Doc
Geoff ,   Vienna   (05.15.18)
I recently had my DNA done. 97% Ashkenazi,
3% Sephardic. That was just the start. Ancient
DNA going back 6000 years: 67% Middle East
farmers, 33% Asian Steppes metal invaders. So
as to the Levant, almost all Ashkenazim have
roots in the Middle East. Don't listen to lies about
the Khazars. Ashkenazim share the same genetic
Roots as Sephardim. Even some German communities
had roots in Spain.
