EP 19 | Debunking The Khazar Theory with Dr. Dan McClellan
Listen now
Description
The Khazar Theory, which states that the Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically Jewish, has had a long and sordid history, having been promoted by a small group of scholars, writers and geneticists for the last 200 years. In the age of social media, the theory has made its way to the mainstream, picking up support from some very high profile celebrities. But what is the historical, linguistic and genetic grounding for this theory? Why has it continued to gain steam despite being repeatedly discredited by scholars across multiple disciplines?  Dara and Dr. Dan are unpacking "The Khazar Theory" while discussing the proliferation of misinformation, and their shared goal of educating those who seek real understanding and knowledge.
