Females carry Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and pass it onto their daughters. Males carry both the Mitochondrial DNA and Y DNA but do not pass the mtDNA to daughters. They pass their Y onto their sons. A man's Y DNA comes from the nucleus of the cell.
A bagel is like a cell. the center is the nucleus. Outside of the center is the bagel or area where the mtDNA is found. The sesame seeds are the mtDNA(mitochondria). Now, continue reading below:
The Mitochondrial DNA is DNA found outside the cell nucleus in small organelles called mitochondria. mtDNA is inherited exclusively from the mother. That's how sons get it. It's great that this happens as it allows a man to be tested for both the mtDNA of his mother and the Yhaplogroup DNA of his father. A woman can only be tested for her mtDNA.
Women met outside of the Jewish culture have married into the tribes of Jacob who have a different mitochondrial set of DNA than the norm. It's passed down to their daughters. Bryan Sykes, professor of genetics at Oxford University, had found 7 lines of mitochondria for all the women on this planet Earth, but later had to add about 2 more, making 9. My paternal grandmother, Zlata Jermulowske, Jewish, was one of the new 2 found, called the W1h line, and Wilma was the name given to this group. My mother was the H line for Helena, whose mother was from Sweden.
The original 7 were called: Ursula, Xenia, Helena, Velda, Tara, Katrine, and Jasmine.
The mtDNA haplogroups I have found carried by Jewish women that connect to my family have been are: K-33%; H-21%; J-7%; W- 5%.
"Overall the mtDNA haplogroup K is found in about 6% of the population of Europe and the Near East, but it is more common in certain of these populations. ... Thus it is possible to detect three individual female ancestors, who were thought to be from a Hebrew/Levantine mtDNA pool, whose descendants lived in Europe."
"Haplogroup K has been found in the remains of three individuals from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B site of Tell Ramad, Syria,(neighbor of Israel) dating from c. 6000 BC. The clade was also discovered in skeletons of early farmers in Central Europe dated to around 5500-5300 BC, at percentages that were nearly double the percentage present in modern Europe. Some techniques of farming, together with associated plant and animal breeds, spread into Europe from the Near East. The evidence from ancient DNA suggests that the Neolithic culture spread by human migration."
Gal Gadot, Miss Israel of 2004, 18 yrs old
A Sabra with both parents and herself born in Israel,
name changed from Greenstein to Gadot.
Gadot's family is of Ashkenazi Jewish (Polish-Jewish, Austrian-Jewish, German-Jewish, and Czech-Jewish) descent.
Ashkenazis: Jews in Germany, language of Yiddish (Hebrew, German)
"Some 3.5 million or 40 percent of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from just four “founding mothers” who lived in Europe 1,000 years ago. The mothers were part of a small group who founded the Ashkenazi Jewish community, which was established in Europe as a result of migration from the Near East."
"The majority of the Ashkenazi mtDNA lineages can be assigned to three major founders within haplogroup K (31% of their total lineages): K1a1b1a, K1a9 and K2a2. The absence of characteristic mutations within the control region in the PPNB K-haplotypes allow discarding them as members of either sub-clades K1a1b1a or K2a2, both representing a 79% of total Ashkenazi K lineages. However, without a high-resolution typing of the mtDNA coding region it cannot be excluded that the PPNB K lineages belong to the third sub-cluster K1a9 (20% of Askhenazi K lineages). Moreover, in the light of the evidence presented here of a loss of lineages in the Near East since Neolithic times, the absence of Ashkenazi mtDNA founder clades in the Near East should not be taken as a definitive argument for its absence in the past. The genotyping of the complete mtDNA in ancient Near Eastern populations would be required to fully answer this question and it will undoubtedly add resolution to the patterns detected in modern populations in this and other studies."
"Haplogroup K has also been observed among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, which date from the Pre-Ptolemaic/late New Kingdom and Roman periods. Fossils excavated at the Late Neolithic site of Kelif el Boroud in Morocco, which have been dated to around 3,000 BCE, have likewise been observed to carry the K1 subclade."
The first lady that we are told about to marry into Israel was Ruth who was a Moabite. She had been married to Mahlon, son of Naomi but he died. She lived with Naomi afterwards and went with her back to Bethlehem and eventually married Naomi's relative, Boaz. Naomi, her husband Elimelech, and sons Mahlon and Chilion had left Bethlehem and traveled to Moab during a period of famine. That's how Mahlon had married Ruth.
Marrying a woman taken in battle had its rules. This is found in Deuteronomy 21:Parashas Ki Seitzei: First when taken to the soldier's home, her hair is shaved off and he is to let her nails grow. She is removed of her foreign clothing and allowed to mourn for her family for a month. Then he can marry her. If it's not a good marriage, to dissolve it they are to let her go away but cannot sell her or enslave her. It's hard to tell how many of King David's soldiers took foreign wives. He was the one in battle the most. King David (1010 BCE-970 BCE) was the one who fought the Philistines so much. He was the youngest son of Jesse, born in Bethlehem, armor-bearer to King Saul at 25.
King Solomon, David's son, married many foreign women as his method of keeping peace, and they would have children. It is said that he had 1,000 wives and concubines. His realm extended from Egypt to the Euphrates River, so women from this area would not necessarily be foreigners. Israel was the most active and industrious of all the nations in the region during this period, active in the Art, History, Parables and elegant writings. along with biblical works like Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Psalms, and even forced labor and an extensive building program which impoverished the country.
Samson, son of Manoah of the tribe of Dan fought the Philistines whose lover was Delilah, herself a Philistine. She was from the valley of Sorek. Was this just a single event with Philistines? "Nahal Sorek (Hebrew: נחל שורק, lit. Brook of Sorek), also Soreq, is one of the largest, most important drainage basins in the Judean Hills. It is mentioned in the Book of Judges 16:4 of the Bible as the border between the ancient Philistines and the Tribe of Dan of the ancient Israelites." Delilah was a neighbor of Samson geographically.
In those days, it was not the women of Israel or Judah that intermarried but it was the men.
"Approximately one thousand years ago, the noted German scholar Rabbi Gershom “the Light of the Diaspora” banned polygamy. This ban was accepted as law by all Ashkenazic Jews, but was not recognized by Sephardic and Yemenite communities." Now, all follow the rules of their country and practice monogamy, one wife at a time.
Parents throughout history have disowned their children if they married outside of Judaism unless that outsider would convert. Many of the Miriums renamed as such were converts to Judaism.
"According to Maimonides, converts were accepted since the beginning of Jewish history, and the foreign wives of Jewish leaders - such as Samson and Solomon - were converts. Yet he says that in the times of Jewish political power, such as the days of Kings David and Solomon, Batei Dinim (Jewish courts) did not accept converts who may have not had the right intention, and they had to wait and prove their intentions to be legally accepted."
