I shall now redefine Hebrew as a partly more European we wuz ancestor of mere levantines

>>2677340

Where's that from?

They're probably too mixed with Spaniards, Arabs and Turks at this point.

>>2677412
They haven't mixed with Turks at all. They share common Levantine background with some Arabs but they weren't exactly intermarrying like crazy either.

Levantines are light looking going from this.

No mizrachi Jews and Syrian/Lebanese people looked closer to the ancient Hebrews

Sephardi Jews cover Roman converts who settled in Spain and N Africa and retained much of the Mediterranean culture and aesthetics of Rabbinic/Talmudic second temple Judaism. There are differences in customs and pronunciation of certain Hebrew words between Sephardi and Ashkenazi, but as far as theological, many significant Jewish scholars were Sephardi whose influence was widespread. The easiest explanation for Sephardic origin was the large number of Jewish slaves in the Roman Empire as well as travelling merchants converting Romans. This places Sephardi Jews ahead of Ashkenazi in some ways as they were already well established in Mediterranean society BEFORE Judea was destroyed and the Diaspora officially began.

A convert Jewish community flourished in ancient Rome. This community could have been the source of both the Ashkenazim of Europe and the Sephardim of Spain and Portugal, given that the two groups have considerable genetic commonality


ashkenazis and sefardis are not descendant from Hebrews. They are both Roman converts. this includes Syrian and North African Jews as well.

Hey pol. Tell us how come Ashkenazi have so little Euro admixture (about 50%).
