Description
An ancestry service based in Israel aims to connect people across the globe, helping them explore their family trees and see whether they have any relatives living in the Holy Land today."People believe that they have a connection to the Holy Land, and I think one of the things we have now through DNA and through family trees is a way to perhaps see whether there's more to that connection than just a feeling," Aaron Godfrey, vice president of Marketing at MyHeritage, told The Daily Signal Podcast in an interview last month."Perhaps there's a genetic link, perhaps within you, there is some Jewish DNA," Godfrey said. "We have five different strands of Jewish DNA that we're looking at. Perhaps there's relatives that you'll find in your family tree who have moved to Israel. Perhaps there's some record of the family visiting Israel that you never perhaps knew about. And all of this is just a way simply from your own home, finding out whether this connection that you feel in your heart is something more, is something perhaps that actually took place in your story."Godfrey sat down with The Daily Signal at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando last month. Many Israelis spoke at the convention, which prominently featured organizations tying American evangelicals with Jews in the Holy Land.Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
