The center image of the picture shows a young and old man attired in a prayer shawl and reading from a Torah scroll that has united the Jewish People. The Star of David symbolizes the gathering of the Jewish People from all corners of the world, including Georgia country of birth of the artist , Morocco, Russia, America, China, Ethiopia, Europe and other countries joining together and dancing in celebration. Other images inside the star symbolize modern Israeli industry, agriculture and military.
The images on the margins of the picture symbolize the major threats that the Jewish People faced in Exile starting from the Exodus from Egypt, followed by Romans, Arabs, and culminating in the gas-chambers of the Holocaust in Europe. Written by: Israel Hanukoglu, Ph. Quote from Charles Krauthammer - The Weekly Standard, May 11, "Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3, years ago.
The Greeks generally allowed the Jews to run their state. The actions of the Greeks led to the initiation of a revolt by the Maccabean family. Their rebellion succeeded, and the Maccabean family established an independent rule.
The events related to this victory against the Greek army are celebrated during the Hanukah holiday. Jews were then exiled and dispersed to the Diaspora. Subsequently, the Romans decimated the Jewish community, renamed Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina and Judea as Palaestina to obliterate Jewish identification with the Land of Israel the word Palestine, and the Arabic word Filastin originate from this Latin name.
The remaining Jewish community moved to northern towns in the Galilee. Later, the Jewish community in Jerusalem expanded by immigration of Jews from Europe.
The population of the Jewish community in Jerusalem increased. SNPs are single changes in the genome that cluster in distinctive patterns among humans that live together in groups over thousands of years.
The patterns are a useful pointer of how ethnicities developed through geographical isolation or social clustering. The study, as expected, confirmed the Middle Eastern, or Levantine, origins of Jews as documented in ancient Hebrew scriptures.
This lineage is clearly visible in communities today, ages after the Jews were expelled from Israel. More unexpected, though, was the discovery that Jewish patterns of SNPs were closer to those of Cypriots and Druze than with the other populations of the Middle East. Diaspora Jews, tightly bound by social, cultural and religious traditions, have generally maintained a strong genetic continuity, although there has also been an induction of DNA to greater or lesser degree from the host population, the paper said.
The patterns in Egyptians, Moroccan, Berber and Yemenite samples, though, were more similar to populations south of the Sahara. It has helped to cast light on the "Out of Africa" scenario, which posits that all anatomically modern humans -- Homo sapiens sapiens -- descended from ancestors that ventured from an African homeland around 50, years ago and colonised the world.
Fearful of being drawn into a debate about the false notion of race, scientists say the SNP clusters are not a pointer to any differences in human health, intelligence or ability. The DNA clusters do not affect genes, the parts of the genome that code for all-important proteins which provide the chemical constitution of the body, Behar said. He added he would be dismayed if his research became misused for genetic profiling, such as in the "who is a Jew?
Anyone in the world can decide one day that he wants to convert to Judaism and in that case of course genetics has no meaning Use this form if you have come across a typo, inaccuracy or would like to send an edit request for the content on this page.

The Normans not only brought French to England: they also brought over Jews, who made England their permanent home for the first time, at least in appreciable numbers. The spelling of Gyv underwent some changes over time, one being that u and v became distinct in the late 14th century.
In the following centuries, several variations appear: Ive, Iewe, Iew and more. Eventually, in the 17th century, the letter J appeared in English as a way to distinguish between i pronounced as we do, which comes from Germanic sources e.
Since "Jew" fell into this latter category, it began to be spelled with a J. Elon Gilad Feb. Get email notification for articles from Elon Gilad Follow. Open gallery view. Shown: The palace in Nimrud. Credit: M. Chohan, Wikimedia Commons. Map Credit: Wikimedia Commons, elaboration by Haaretz.
