Three Fathers and Four Mothers (from a Seder Pessach canticle)

 

The Maternal Genetic Lineages of Ashkenazic Jews

Click here to 
order The Maternal Genetic Lineages of Ashkenazic JewsThis book presents up-to-date information on the origins of the Ashkenazic Jewish people from central and eastern Europe based on genetic research on modern and pre-modern populations. It focuses on the 129 maternal (mtDNA) haplogroups that the author confirmed that Ashkenazim have acquired from distinct female ancestors who were indigenous to diverse lands that include Israel, Italy, Poland, Germany, North Africa, and China, revealing both their Israelite inheritance and the lasting legacy of conversions to Judaism.

Genetic connections between Ashkenazic Jews and other Jewish populations, including Turkish Jews, Moroccan Jews, Tunisian Jews, Iranian Jews, and Cochin Jews, are indicated wherever they are known.

Each maternal haplogroup originated from a distinct woman who joined the Ashkenazic community. Some of these women were Judeans, some were Slavs, a few were Berbers, and several may have been Greeks—and those weren't their only origins.

Multiple Ashkenazic maternal and paternal haplogroups most likely came from Khazar and Alan converts to Judaism in medieval Khazaria. See the evidence on pages 7, 16-17, 52, and 85-86.

Two of the maternal haplogroups discussed in this book (H2a1e1a and U5a1d2b) were discovered to exist in Ashkenazim by the author and were not in any previous work about Ashkenazim.CHAPTER 3. Non-Ashkenazic Haplogroups in Populations Related to Ashkenazim

In Trance


This morning I was having a deep sexual dream - just when I was alone with the girl - got a phone call. Did not answer and set the phone on silent. Yet I woke up and was in a zombie-like trance for an hour. I followed my morning routine and measured BP and it was low - 90/68 or so. I am 77 y.o. and on xeroxat - libido only a memory. I never used to dream. I must be entering a different state, maybe.

The Invention of the Jewish People

 
Like every other people and nation, Jews are a mix of different communities. Some communities have no genetic connection with the main tribes (Ashkenazi, Sepharadi) and are probably converts from a long-forgotten event. The Ethiopians for example have no drop of Jewish blood. In Israel, businesses where you can send a sample and they tell you who were your ancestors and if you have unknown brothers and relatives, are totally forbidden. You can send a sample to America and receive information about your American relatives. But not in Israel. I imagine that that is because this information would create severe family conflicts and even ethnic wars, as the Ashkenazi government of the fifties has been accused of arranging the secret adoption of babies of ignorant, semi-retarded, helpless Yemeni immigrants to childless sterilized European women. The intention was to make justice because the Yemenis had too many children that were unable to educate, while the adopted babies would be grown up in educated environments, like a kibbutz. The Social Service is still doing those transfers from addict parents, but it is done through a complicated bureaucratic and judicial process, like in any other Western democracy, but it is possible that during the independence war era, it was done without proper consent. 

In our woke time, genetic identification is done super-carefully, except maybe in America, where they are truly honest and non-racists. Finding African ancestors can even help to be accepted into top universities and jobs. Here the idea is that we are one people, all children of Abraham, Itzhak and Yaakov, and it is useless to research further.

Stress

 
Had planned to finish this RGan project on Sunday but I wasted time on other urgent pichifkes and now I am like catatonic and cannot focus on the idiotic project. Maybe God will send me a clear mind and the will to work. Feel bad. 

Post Scriptum: Finished at 1 AM and fell asleep and dreamed of my granddaughter jumping over a chair like a tiger. I had watched on Facebook how a tiger jumps from a tall tree and fell graciously on its feet. 

Post Post Scriptum: The plan was submitted to RG engineer and it was ipso-factum rejected because it was not submitted according to the rules. We are trying to find the rules of submission. Those bureaucrats are causing severe damage to my client. And to my mood.

Disappointment

 

The market expects ICL Group (ICL) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2023. The earnings report is expected on May 10, 2023, and might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move even lower.

The fact is that today Saturday the stock is sinking. The AI that manages most big funds thinks that ICL will be almost worthless. I am shocked by reality, I had FAITH in POTASH. Where is Mr Doyle who organized the potash cartel years ago?
