Dinner, DNA and the Story of You

Join the Aish Center for an early summer fund-raising event where you will walk away with one of life’s greatest commodities – a newfound understanding of yourself. We are partnering with the genetic ancestry service “23andMe” for a unique exploration of your own DNA and where it comes from. We’ll learn about the Genomics business, the great Jewish migrations across the Middle East and Europe and the uncanny, incredible story of survival and achievement of the Jewish Nation.

* Each participant will walk away with a genetic testing kit that gives you an overview of the diverse group of people who share your DNA, shows how your DNA breaks out across our 31 populations worldwide and traces parts of your ancestry to a specific group of individuals from 1,000+ years ago.

Speakers:
Jeffrey Rosenfeld | Genome Expert
Rabbi Yosef Rosen | Historian

Buffet dinner and cocktails will be served.
