ping.“or forced to convert, but today some 20 percent of Spanish genes can be traced to Sephardic Jews, a study has found.
“
replace ‘but’ with ‘so it is no suprise that’
-Geesh!
Thinking, thinking......LATKES!
This same story is true in Mexico and the old Texas families.
(Full disclosure; I was a known Sephard and participating in several rounds of the genetic testing as a bit of a base line.)

I try to stay away from the televisio, on principle.
Truely, since puberty.
Last night I stopped by at the televisione chambre and sat while a show called “friends”? aired.
It is something my wife has started to watch recently.
I thought it was about gay people at first.
But it became deadly serious because of a wedding and guess what?
It became all about jewish folks.
I did not stay to sort out if they were askenasi or sephardic or levi strauss.

Genetics and Jewishness.
It will be interesting to hear how the DNA profiles from other European countries compare to Spain.
Apparently up until the Nazis many millions of Jews lived in Germany—as since the 1500s it had been one of the most tolerant places in Europe for Jews. One reason Hitler could murder so many is that there were so many, many German Jews there available... (I’m sure one reason for Germany’s historic academically advanced culture is due to the Jewish presence). I’ve heard rumors of a Jewish ancestor or two in my mother’s line—going back to Germany.
Besides “forced” conversions, every generation sees a few voluntary conversions, and intermarriage with gentile neighbors. This is a big reason why certain of the ultra-Orthodox Jews want to have absolutely no gentile friends....
