I’m a genealogist and the truth is that there’s no such thing as Jewish DNA. DNA can reveal possible *places* where your ancestors may have been located; it cannot tell you your identity. The tests offered by the popular companies analyze a sampling of your DNA, not your whole genome; plus, at about the 500-700-year-ago point, the DNA has been so recombined that you have little in common, DNA-wise, with the hundreds of ancestors you have. (This is aside from the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests, which each offer one line of descent only, out of what becomes thousands of ancestors, the farther back you go.) And in the case of an endogamous population like Ashkenazi Jews, possibly also other groups of Jews? Forget about it. The companies’ algorithms are totally messed up when it comes to us. So even if Adriana were to do a DNA test that came up with some percentage of “Jewish,” that has nothing to do with who she is or how she identifies. I used to do interfaith dialogue training. At lunch one day, I was sitting with a Muslim woman, and we were talking about pronouncing Arabic. She casually said that non-Arabs can’t make a certain sound, deep in one’s throat, that’s used in Arabic. I asked her to demonstrate it. She did. Then I said it back to her, complete with the sound she said I wouldn’t be able to make. She was totally shocked. I’m part Ashkenazi and part English, yet I easily made that sound. The DNA tests were created to help prove/disprove parentage, and to trace recent lineage for about 100-200 years back, in order to solve crimes. In genealogical work, for someone who has no idea where to start to look for family, the “ethnicity” results can help suggest a location, not an ethnicity (although they purport to). I’ve compared my “ethnicity” results from five different companies. While there’s some agreement among them, there are also lots of differences. Because each company uses different reference panels and samples the DNA a client provides differently. And their results tend to shift over time. And that doesn’t even take converts into account. Leave Adriana alone with the “you must be Jewish” nonsense. Open your mind. Ethnicity is not inherited. It is learned. Some traits can be inherited, but those are not ethnic.
She certainly does not “need” a DNA test. They prove nothing about ethnicity. They *certainly* don’t prove Jewishness. I’m a genealogist. See my recent post on this topic, posted as a comment to this video. “Ethnicity” testing is good for a few, very limited purposes, and discovering ethnicity isn’t among them. Ethnicity is social, not biological.
Her eidelkeit and chein is just mind blowing.
May HaShem always bless her and protect her.
She’s a real mensch!!
Same thing, working for Jewish people on daily basis and super happy and proud
Definitely an honorary member of the tribe.
Elon
It's time to dig deeper into the kabala. You are a soul from a higher dimension
The funniest thing is that she knows so much more about Judaism than Elon does.
Wow, I love how she doesn't want to convert because she can have a bigger impact as a non-jew!!

ABSOLUTELY GOURGOUS SHIKSEE.. Stereotypes goes both ways.. a majority of non-Jews couldn't care less about Jews... lest hate any.
I don't think that you could call her that. A Goya yes. Not a shiksa.
I called her my favorite shiksa once cuz I don’t see it as a derogatory term but everyone else got mad at me😅
@@Rona44 It is derogatory. If someone denies it, they’re either ignorant or not being honest.
@@alizahalon “Goya”? Never heard that term.
@Historian212 It's just the word goy in the feminine. Hebrew is conjugated in masculine and feminine.
She looks so jewish, she probably has a jewsh soul.
There’s no Jewish “look.” Good grief, stop stereotyping.
She needs a DNA test and she might have to change the none out of her name
