@ the 17th precinct eh..
Ingredients
12 pint canning jars with lids, sterilized according to package directions
20 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup pickling salt
Pickling Cukes, cut in half lengthwise
3/4 cup pickling spice
Approximately 1.5 cups fresh dill - still on the stalk
12 dried red chilies
24 cloves garlic
Directions
Make the brine by bringing water & vinegar to a boil - once it does add salt
When the salt is fully dissolved - turn off the heat and let cool till it's manageable
In the bottom of each jar put1 tablespoon pickling spice, about 1 tablespoon dill, 1 red chili and 2 garlic cloves
Fill jars with pickles florets - pack it tightly
Add another tablespoon of dill on top of the the pickles, then fill jar to the very top with brine
Put on lid and seal tight
Store in a dark, cool place about 2 weeks – I like to give them a shake every day to mix up the spices etc, and also tun them upside down for a couple days in the middle. The longer they stay out of the fridge, the more dill flavor they will take on. So after about a week and a half, try one – if it’s how you like it you’re good and can refrigerate them all to slow the process. If not, give it a few more days
Refrigerate any jars once opened.

DNA Shows
Japanese and Jewish Peoples
Are Relatives
Arimasa Kubo (Japanese writer and pastor)
40% of Japanese DNA Have Connection with Jews
Y-chromosome DNA shows strong relationship between Jews and the Japanese.
Male cell has Y-chromosome, which is a hangar of DNA. Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) is handed from father to son, only through the male line.
Y-chromosome DNA of Japanese males have a very specific feature which is seldom seen among the Chinese or Koreans. Nearly 40% of the Japanese have the specific gene sequence called YAP in their Y-chromosome DNA. This YAP gene sequence is seldom seen among the Chinese or Koreans, and rare in Asia. But nearly 40% of the Japanese have it.
Y-DNA Haplogroups of the Japanese
About 40%: Haplogroup D (YAP)
About 50%: Haplogroup O (typical Asian)
The rest: others
Y-chromosome DNA has many types called haplogroups. Among all the haplogroups, only haplogroup D and haplogroup E have YAP gene sequence. Only D and E have the common YAP genes, showing they came from the same ancestor. Please memorize D and E. They are relatives. Nearly 40% of the Japanese belong to haplogroup D, having YAP gene sequence. Originally in the Middle East there was haplogroup DE, which was later separated to D and E.
Then, what is haplogroup E? It is the relative of D. Haplogroup E is very characteristic for Jews. 20-30% of both Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardi Jews have haplogroup E, which contains YAP gene sequence just like the Japanese one. Not only them, but also every other Jewish population of all over the world have haplogroup E prominently. Since D and E came from the same ancestor, they are all relatives.
This haplogroup E is also seen in Samaria, the homeland of the so-called the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Today in Samaria live descendants of ancient Israelites. They are of mixed blood. But according to the Bible, priests among the Samaritans are Levites, who have been keeping the male line since ancient times. The Samaritan Levite priests belong to haplogroup E, having YAP.
And in the land near Tibet in China live a small tribe called Chiang (Qiang, Chiang-Min). Their faces look like the Japanese. They are descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, as recognized by Amishav in Jerusalem, a famous searching group of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The 23% of the Chiang people have haplogroup D, having YAP just like the Japanese do. The Chiang people and the Japanese are thus genetically relatives.
DNA of Current Jews
Now, let us look deeply into it. Firstly, about YAP gene sequence of the Jews.
As already mentioned, about 20-30% of current Jews belong to haplogroup E, having YAP. This is the same among both Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardi Jews.
There was once an insistence that Ashkenazi had originated from foreigners and they are not genuine Jews. However, this is wrong, seen from the genetic view. In fact, the 88% of Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardi Jews' DNA are common. No geneticist agrees to the insistence that Ashkenazi are not genuine Jews. Ashkenazi and Sephardi are both true Jews, as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Y-DNA Haplogroups of Current Jews
20-30%: Haplogroup E (YAP)
about 30%: Haplogroup J
20-30%: Haplogroup R
The rest: others
(Above is common between
Ashkenazim and Sephardim)
Among either Ashkenazi or Sephardi, the 20-30% belongs to haplogroup E, having YAP like the Japanese one. Besides, the current Jews also have haplogroups J and R at similar rates. However, it seems that J and R came from mixing blood.
After losing Jerusalem in 70 C.E. the Jews scattered to the world. Before that the definition of a Jew was "father is a Jew." But after that, the definition became "mother is a Jew." This was because the Jews were persecuted and many Jewish women were raped. There were many cases of unknown true father, so it changed to the definition "mother is a Jew." There was such a sad story. The genes of Y-chromosome of the male line thus became thin, and the Jewish Y-chromosome DNA got several haplogroups. The Jews are thus of mixed blood. But they have ever kept their identity of Jews religiously.
DNA of Ancient Native Israelites
Above is what the current Jewish DNA is. Then, what was the haplogroup of the ancient native Israelites?
It seems that their native DNA was haplogroup DE or E, which has YAP gene sequence, the genetic relative of the Japanese haplogroup D. We can know it, seeing that the Samaritan Levite priests belong to haplogroup E, as already mentioned.
Furthermore, every Jewish group in the world has haplogroup E prominently. At a website of a DNA test provider the Family Tree DNA is written about the specific type E1b1b1 which belongs to haplogroup E as follows:
"E1b1b1 is found in all Jewish populations, from Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Kurdish, Yemen, Samaritan and even among Djerba Jewish groups."
Thus, haplogroup E is found in all Jewish populations prominently. Furthermore, as haplogroups E and D, YAP gene sequence is found not only in current Jewish populations, but also in descendants of the so-called Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
The Pathans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, who are said to be descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, have haplogroup E remarkably. Uzbekistan Jews, who are also said to be from the Lost Tribes, have haplogroup E at the rate of 28 %. The Falasha, Ethiopian Jews, have haplogroup E at 50 %. Igbo Jews in Nigeria have haplogroup E at 90%. Haplogroup E is thus found among those who are said to be from the Lost Tribes of Israel.
The Lost Tribes of Israel have haplogroup D also. The Chiang (Qiang) people (southwest China near Tibet), whose faces resemble Japanese ones, belong to D at a high rate of 23 %, having YAP gene sequence. According to Amishav, the top of which was late Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail who had written "The Tribes of Israel", the Chiang people have many traditional Israelite customs, and are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel.
Thus, it is YAP gene sequence that connects all current Jewish populations, as well as Samaritan Levite priests, descendants of Lost Tribes of Israel and the Japanese. We can say that nearly 40 % of the Japanese, who have haplogroup D and YAP, would be descendants of ancient Israelites and relatives of Jews.
