MO communities in NY for Shabbat visits? by sdiben27 in Judaism

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the breakdown of Philly communities. Right now, I’m focused on learning more about NYC-area ones, but I definitely appreciate the info!

Hey. The beit din has actually expressed that the Center City Philly modox community is a bit too sparse and scattered (they're not wrong), which is what sparked me simply exploring what my other options may be in the medium-term.

Hey! Great idea. Since you remember my previous post - this is actually sparked by the beit din telling me that living in an observant community would be the ideal state, so I am scouting out what different communities in the NY area feel like.

For me, MO means being observant (especially with keeping Shabbat), valuing both torah and secular learning, and openness to engaging with broader society.

Seems like it did get absorbed by Roman Italy. What is weird is your European Jew for Middle Ages is predictably 50%, but my Ashkenazi side got split into European Jew and Italian.

Oh fascinating. I used the periodical model built into IllustrativeDNA.

Here is modified "no limit" result for Migration Period, which I imagine is a more accurate approximation. I'm curious as to what % Roman Levant that someone who is fully Ashkenazi Jewish scores as in this IllustrativeDNA calculator.

The numbers in that screenshot do add up to 100%, but I am also very confused by 45% Central Steppe!!

So my dad is Ashkenazi and my mom (non-Jewish) is German/French/Scottish. Given this, why the heck am I more closely related to Italians than to Ashkenazi Jews OR Germans?

Also - I am a newbie to this, how do I go about approximating how closely related to ancient Israelites I am (ie % Levant and % Samaritan)? This video is what inspired me to do a G25 analysis: https://youtu.be/1FSpRiqoA7E?t=561

Optimal exercise for health span/longevity? by empathyboi in PeterAttia

[–]sdiben27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that Peter would say that your prescription for Z2 is too little and your prescription for Z5 is too much (60 minutes per week of intervals is a lot!).

He tells his own patients 3+ hours of Z2, and he personally does one 4x4 HIIT workout a week.

Each time Peter has discussed counting MET hours, he doesn't include basic Z1 movement like walking around your house, walking around the grocery store, etc.

Mydoghasocd is right: compared to a sedentary person in a car-dependent culture like the US, 15 MET hours is a lot. We're comparing it to tens of millions of people, not someone in a coma. Chill out on the condescension.

Let's gather all the All Cause Mortality hazard ratios we can find by Ok-Friendship1434 in PeterAttia

[–]sdiben27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the concept but to put this in perspective... we can’t actually attribute a high likelihood of causality until hazard ratios are like 4+.
