    Hey, it's Mayim, and I am SO EXCITED to look at my DNA results with all of you. I didn't even peek at them before this video, so you're getting my real, unfiltered reactions. Have you tried a DNA analysis before? Let's chat about it in the comments!

    You may know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory, or from Blossom, but hopefully, these videos allow you to get to know me better as Mayim, too! Subscribe to my channel for video updates. I upload new videos every Thursday!

    About Mayim Bialik:
    You ​might know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or from Blossom​ but there are so many other parts of me that you might not be aware of​!​​ I’m trained ​as a​ neuroscientist, ​I'm ​a passionate activist, an observant Jew, a​ perfectly imperfect​ mother, and ​I'm a complicated human being​ like many of you​. This is the place where I wear ​all of those hats - and none of them have a flower on them! ;)

My half sister was wary at first but then agreed to having a meeting. I told her all I wanted was to see him and find out what I could. I had the best adoptive parents and as far as I’m concerned and I am grateful I got a chance at life through my birth parents.

      Beth Johnstone Jesus was not a Jew, he was an Israelite which is very different. Israelites are the lineage and are not all Jews. Some are Christians, Muslims, Jews , pagans etc etc like any other people. They are from the line of prophet Isaac, the younger son of prophet Abraham. the word Jew arises centuries later from those who follow yehuda. Jesus didn't follow yehuda, he was a prophet of the one God. This narrative needs to stop

    • @PamelaProPeace
      @PamelaProPeace 5 лет назад +316

      @@BusyAngel9999 With all due respect you are talking out of ignorance. Of course Jesus was Jewish. Look at the history books. 2000 years ago, in the Land of Israel Herod, Jewish King of the Jews under the Roman occupiers, ordered a census of the Jews. ...
      Why do you think Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem when she was so heavily pregnant? It was because of the census.
      Everything Jesus does and teaches is Jewish - it's the disciples who change things AFTER his death - like getting rid of the rules of kashrut which Jesus will have observed meticulously). They did this so as to widen their newly invented religion, Christianity, to include other groups.
      The Children of Israel (who I guess you mean by Israelites) became a Jewish nation in the Land of Israel (formerly Canaan) a thousand years before Jesus so I assure you that he was pure and simply Jewish. You only have to look at the prayer he wrote - The Lord's Prayer to see it is one hundred per cent a transliterated version of the standard Jewish blessing.

    • @PamelaProPeace
      @PamelaProPeace 5 лет назад +83

      p.s. as for the name "Jew" it came from the Hebrew. Yehudah was one of the Kingdoms of Israel, where the Israelites lived - this dates to a thousand years before Jesus, so I promise you he too was a Yehudi. (Even as they spin their web of lies about being native to the land of the Jews - the "Palestinians" reaffirm this fact - the Arabic for Jew is YAHUD!!!)

    • @BusyAngel9999
      @BusyAngel9999 5 лет назад +14

      he was a prophet of god, the messiah, his prophethood is unquestionable. if the yehudis and what they were following was correct and what god revealed then why was jesus tasked to come to these very people and if he was a jew himself? clearly they were not following gods plan and clearly he was not jewish, he was a prophet of the one god. clearly the jews of the time and the society were wrong and they needed guidance, therefore jesus came. and thats why jews havent been in the holy land for centuries. the very purpose of prophets in the first place. the story of mary and joseph is not accepted by all, many believe mary gave birth by herself (no joseph and no travel) and presented baby jesus to the people as prophet of god when he spoke.
      btw the palestinians are the original israelites and more semitic than some 'israelis' and are very much native to the land, thats why god has protected them there for as long as he has-just like he promised
      god has alos promised if those israelites who spread terror and force people out of their land and forget the promise they made to god and god made to them, that he would make sure punishmet comes to them. this fact conveniantly gets left out

      Not arguing with the comment about Venice, but broadly speaking most Jews in Italy are Sephardic. Most Sephardim did not segregate themselves from non-Jews unless there was a specific reason. My general impression is that Sephardim didn't object as much to mixed marriages as long as the kids were raised Jewish. Also possible is that some of your Sephardic ancestors converted to christianity at some point.

    Sorry my english is bad, but I would like to tell you this special story about my family and me: for many years I don't know where am I from. My parents also they did not know where their are came from or their grandparents or their parents. I remember I was so sad and I feel some hurt, because I don't know who they are my grandparents or my family members. 4 years ago I started researching to my family. And now I know my grandma have 90% Ashkenazi Jewish, and my Grandpa 80% indigenous Quechua (from Perú), and Huaorani (from Ecuador, Napo River, Yasuní National Park, Amazonia)!!! And his great granparents are full blooded tribal indigenous persons. And the ironic, and very touchable in this story, that these two cultures were present throughout my life. Oh and now I'm an archaeologist student who researching Pre-columbian artifacts...

    I'm adopted so did an Ancestry DNA test to see if I really am Irish and Welsh, as I had been told by my parents. Not only did I find out my DNA percentages (37% Irish/Scottish, 67% English, Welsh and NW European, 2% Norwegian), more importantly I now have two new younger sisters I didn't know existed (I have half brothers too but they don't know about us). Our birth mother had put Disclosure Vetoes on our three files when she put us up for adoption, so lifelong questions were finally answered . For those uncomfortable with taking the test -- don't -- but know we are already aware of potential risks and have done it because the potential rewards greatly outweigh the potential for bad. I'm spending my first birthday ever with one of my new sisters in November -- I couldn't ask for a better 60th birthday present :)

This was an ANCIENT practice used to prevent blood pooling (creating clots and other problems) in the infant's penis. Even then, there were conditions in which it was thought to be safer to use a sponge.
      These days circumcisions must be carried out by a trained medical professional with appropriate equipment. You may disagree with circumcision of an infant, and you of course have every right to. There is a strong case against it. However, please don't just grab a headline, tar a VAST group of people with the same brush (with a practice now only used rarely in ONE small sect of Judaism) and slam down someone who just wants to learn.

      Scandinavian people mixed with the original Scottish and Irish a lot due to raiding. I'd think it's pretty likely that even people born in either Scotland or Ireland with native born Scottish or Irish ancestors going as far back as can be remembered would still show up having a large percentage Scandinavian ancestry on tests like these. It's great to know and acknowledge the path our ancestors took so it's cool she acknowledges and participates in things to do with Scandinavian culture. She just wasn't necessarily wrong about her ancestry. She could have gotten the Scandinavian genes from Scottish or Irish ancestors.

      A lot of Scandinavians (I’m Norwegian btw) have high percentages of British/Irish in their DNA as well. It could stem back to Viking times, or alternatively, we do all live around the same bit of sea and generations of seamen have been sailing back and forth trading and fishing... Just saying. On a more serious note the English are Germanic as well, even the Normans were originally Danes, so the overlap could simply be that the Dna is too similar to differentiate.

While I know my father has some Indonesian in his background, I was very surprised when I got my DNA results and saw that I am 1% Native American!! 😂 But if you research Native Americans you will find that it is believed they came from Asia, and crossed into what is now Alaska. So, it’s the Asian from my fathers background that keyed into the Native American markers on my DNA.

I think the difference in results are in part because in some countries like Germany, the Jewish population had to get German sounding names as they lived there and then migrated elsewhere. You might try taking the 23&me test and compare.

    Well, be careful! I did both 23 and Me and Ancestry. Turns out my Dad wasn't my birth father. Ancestry found one sister I never knew (still living) -- 23 and me found another. (Sadly, she died from liver cancer before I could meet her). There were two others....a brother and another deceased sister. A wonderful first cousin who looks exactly like me - and we even think the same ways. Some of the traits we share, (NOT having grown up together) -- well, it's remarkable. The story I have uncovered is so detailed and rich that a movie script could never capture what I now know about "me."
    My dad was 100% Danish (the Dad I grew up with) -- now I'm not Danish at all, but I have new siblings/cousins and a new heritage. They have done their genealogy so I know my lineage for several centuries. Now I know why I was taller than my mother and father - the birth father was tall. I've heard I have his personality from my new cousin. I've heard I have certain traits he had that did not exist in my growing-up family.
    My sister (the one I grew up with) didn't know her father either. It took Mom a few years to settle down (thankfully, she did). DNA testing shows she was half Ashkenazi Jewish. She hasn't had as much luck as I have finding birth relatives. The Jewish Grandmother wanted nothing to do with her when my mother shared her pregnancy with the Jewish line. (Makes me sad). We have names and location of this Jewish family but she was not wanted in that community. My new birth family has been very open.
    So -- be careful what you wish for. I never thought, at my age, that I would have to rewrite the history of "me" that I thought I already knew. Previous generations hid these indiscretions. Both birth parents are deceased so I will never meet this birth father -- but I'm glad I found out when I was older so I was strong enough to deal with this discovery. He was a high-ranking USMC at the Pentagon....so there's that, too.
    And just so you know? You've given us so much pleasure, Amy Farah Fowler! You are a phenomenal actress and pure joy to us! I'm sure our political persuasions are extremely opposite of each other but it's it nice to know that DNA doesn't determine our worldviews -- and our differing worldviews don't have to divide. We share something in common in spite of this difference -- I'm researching my Christian theology deeply. That's so much more important than politics any day! God works in wonderful ways. Blessings to you.
