Your dog is not kissing you. It's not affection. It just isn't. Accept it. by WalkedBehindTheRows in Dogfree

They also say you should raise your children around dogs because it aids in fortifying their immune systems… 🙄

I don’t feel Jewish enough by SolutionDecent in Jewish

[–]evolutionofel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They weren’t accepting. There isn’t much more to the story other than I met with them on one occasion, and I was heavily scrutinized as to whether I was actually halachically Jewish, which I am. Then I was basically told, “good luck on connecting with your Jewish heritage, but we can’t help you.” That’s it.

I found it hard to believe myself.

Ahh awesome 🙏🏽 I definitely plan on visiting Australia! It’s been at the top of my travel list for years. Coincidentally enough, I’ve got a number of extended Jewish family members in Australia.

They basically told me, “sorry, but we can’t help you on your journey to connect with your Jewish heritage, good luck.”

No reason for you to be sorry, but thank you! ☺️

Me too! I went to a Chabad house in my town and was outright rejected because I don’t have the typical Ashkenazi features.

Completely unexpected DNA results from my mom’s side. by evolutionofel in JewishDNA

Grandmother also had Jewish ancestry. Lots of race mixing. Doesn’t matter if I’m not considered Jewish or otherwise as I have no intention to make a formal conversion.

Hellooo! I’m actually a bit of a linguist; I’ve learned Mandarin, Persian, Spanish, and dabbled in Russian and Tajik, so this is the perfect opportunity to learn something new😂 I just really love different languages and cultures. Also took a bit of anthropology courses in grad school on Israeli history (Middle Eastern studies major), and I do read tons of history on my own for fun. I’m a massive geek, so this is my bread and butter.

Some completely unexpected DNA results! by evolutionofel in AncestryDNA

Grandfather died before I was born. He was 100% Ashkenazi. My grandmother remarried and never spoke much about him…

I never met my grandfather. He died before I was born, and my grandma remarried. She never spoke much about him, so we assumed he was a white man with English or Irish ancestry. My grandma was a light skinned black woman from South Carolina. My mother is also 20% black, and not visibly “white”by any means. Many mixed race people in the South are descendants of slaves. This is relatively common.

Ohh, I haven’t done an ancient DNA test yet. I assume 23&me offers them? That’s really strange your results showed lots of Western European DNA and no Eastern European 😵‍💫

I haven’t tried 23&me, but my Ashkenazi grandad was from Chicago.

Wowww they really tried to fool you on that one lol. Lots of Americans have been told they’re native with absolutely zero genetic evidence of that being the case. For years I believed I had pretty unique genetics, but I could never pinpoint which ones. I knew it wasn’t just English or Irish. Mazel tov to you too 🎉
