Is it true that Reb Chaim Volzhin’s great-great-grandson is the current President of Israel, Shimon Peres?
Nu. And so what? Also avraham avinu.
I don’t know but it is true that he is a first cousin of Lauren Bacall.
Not likely. Peres’ family were Alexander Chassidim
Is it true that Rav Shach is a great great grandson of haman? I think its a befeirush gemarah.
Lauren Bacall’s father’s name was Persky (sp?) like Shimon Peres’ original name. Peres changed it to sound more Hebraic. Bacall changed her last name to her mother’s maiden name when her father walked out on them.
Gweneth Paltrow and Gabrielle Giffords (They are first cousins) are decendents of The Taz
oh lordy lordy lordy! I’m in that weird part of the CR again…
Statistically we are all likely to be descendants of David haMelech.
Shamaya and Avtalyon were descended from Sancheriv. It says mibnei banav shel Haman lamdu Torah biVnei Brak.
Rav Yaakov Galinski shlit”a was having trouble getting his son into Ponovezh. So he called the Ponovezher Rav and said, “mibnei banav shel Haman lamdu Torah biVnei Brak, und far mein zun is nit duh kein platz?”
The Ponovezher Rav told him that, “Haman’s einiklach were politically connected, and they had better protektzia!”
(Heard from Rav Galinski himself while delivering a Purim Drasha)
I am an einekel of Reb Chaim of Vilozhins brother Zalman.
Shimon Peres definitely comes from lithuanina background – not Alexander chassidim.
Yitzchok Rabin and Ya’ir lapid are both from chassidic dynasties, And Rivlin, although more distanly connected is an tenth generation descendant of the baal hatanya. He actually spoke at a labuvitch ceremony once on yat teves in binyanei ha’oomah.
I think since many of our gedoilim were blessed with unusaul talents and/or tremendous determination and persistence it makes sense tha there fried out einiklach ended up much further in life.
And most of us are descendants of Khazzars
“And most of us are descendants of Khazzars “
Many people still show it.
Only thing I can say for certain, is that we are all descendants of Shem, Cham or Yefet.
crisis,
That is not true. That is a claim made by some but it doesn’t have much basis in history or genetics. The genetic studies I have seen have seen have estimated that only 12 or 13% of Ashkenazi Jewish blood is from the Khazars and other geirim.
