The overwhelming majority of Jews living today can trace their roots back to the Middle East with a little DNA testing. Bennett Greenspan will discuss what DNA testing has taught us about Jewish roots. He will share the latest research by comparing Jewish DNA to various ethnic groups. Additionally, Bennett will share his expertise about how to use DNA to determine your ancestral Jewish roots, settle family disputes and connect to long-lost relatives.
