My Dad was a Venda (Lemba) he used to pray in Venda and Say "Tomvho La Israel" which means "Rock of Israel". I never understood why, but it was recent that I had dreams equivalent to The promise of Abraham

I never get tired of the Chinese😆 food reference lol

Hi yes this is true, i am a Lemba from South Africa 🎉

In Madagascar also you find a large Jewish community

Genealogy from the father. It's always been that way.  Its still like that in Africa now

Thank you for this video, sir!

As brilliant as always.

I appreciate this discussion.

Could "Sena" be a "Sinai"?

Which Jewish group has the highest frequency of the Priesthood gene/Kohen Modal[sic] Y-Chromosome?

My mother and I took a DNA test and discovered we are mixed  with Yoruba, Moroccan /North African and Lemba Yehudim.  Yet my parents, grandparents, great grandparents and etc grew up on plantations in the United States of America. They were descendants of the Trans-Atlantic and Arab Slave trade.  Deuteronomy Chapter 28:68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. (Rescue or redeem)   The truth is the truth no matter how uncomfortable it makes others.

Im surprised a chinese restaurant hasnt sponsored your videos by now 🤣  thank you for the awesome history lessons

Great podcast!

Super interesting!

Very interesting genetic study.Greetings from Puerto Rico.

Fascinating indeed!

Why is it surprising that they have a high incidence of the haplotide of interest? They’ve said for many years that they are descendants.

I'd like to know how far back they go associated with some of  their diet being kosher.

Just a quick correction, the CMH that over 50% of Cohen have is just Y haplogroup J.  Y haplo J originated around 40,000 years ago in Caucasus/Armenian highlands, not 3,000. J  is also the most common Y haplo in the middle east in general, meaning, not only are most Cohen, J, but most Yehudim and most middle eastern men. Now, the Cohen who have J are broken up into two major subgroups, J1 and J2, and each of those subgroups are broken up into multiple subgroups. J1 and J2, which DO both derive from J, diverged from one another like 35k years ago or something along those lines. This makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the majority of Cohen to be descended of Aaron or even Levi. As Aaron and Levi would have had the same Y haplo. And we know modern Levites have drastically different proportions.  None the less, the CMH was further narrowed down later, and about 25% of modern Cohen DO share a common ancestor around 3,000 years ago, one of the J2 subgroups.  So MAYBE this subgroup of J2 are descended of Aaron. However that is not necessarily the only way to arrive at these proportions. They could have simply outproduced the other Cohen, or Cohen might not have started out as the actual sons of Aaron. But either way, its only about 25% of Cohen of a specific subclade of J2, who share a common male ancestral line from around 3,000 years ago. Otherwise, spot on, good work as always.

Excellent cheerful delightful !
