“Recent work from genetics labs has validated the Biblical record of a Semitic people who chose a Jewish way of life several thousand years ago. These observations are the biological equivalent to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.”
Dr. Harry Ostrer, Chairman
Human Genetics Program at NYU School of Medicine

"This is a most fascinating subject. I congratulate those working in this field for the marvelous discoveries of obviously high potential, and Rabbi Kleiman for his bringing this important information to a wider public.”
Rabbi Noah Weinberg
RoshHaYeshiva of Aish HaTorah

“Whether or not genetics is your forte, DNA & Tradition has an element of interest for everyone.”
