As I said, Haplogroups may show that you have some DNA in common with Jews in Ethiopia. But I bet the same DNA tests will show that the Ethiopian Jews have more DNA strands in common with other Ethiopians than with a Russian Jew. And if we go back far enough in time, we'll see that all humanity is related to one another in some form.

My question was why would that small strand of DNA that is in common between a Russian Jew and an Ethiopian Jew be any more significant than all the other strands those Jews have in common with their respective countrymen?

And if per chance I change my religion and become a Jew later on, how would that make me part of your ethnic group then and not before then?
