[Rouxinol]

Her family is Jewish. But does she look Jewish?

[Odoacer]

Atlanto-Mediterranid with CM? She doesn't look especially Jewish to me.

[Rouxinol]

Atlanto-Mediterranid with CM? She doesn't look especially Jewish to me.

I share of your opinion.

[Sikeliot]

She doesn't look Jewish to me either.

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

jewish are not a race.

[Rouxinol]

jewish are not a race.

Indeed. But there's that thing of the "Jewish look" (Semitic, I guess)... I never understood that quite well, because there are Jewish people (I mean, followers of Judaism) without that look.

[aherne]

The odd thing is that she looks like Portuguese. A bit masculine for my taste, but obviously a good looker...

[Agrippa]

Atlantomediterranid/Atlantid basically, probably a touch of Cromagnoid/Alpinoid.

She looks pretty much South Western to me and not Jewish at all.

Jews are no race indeed, but an ethnoreligious group with further distinctions.

Is she Ashkenazi or Sephardic?

Typical Jewish looks mean always the presence of Armenid or Arabid traits primarily (recent Near Eastern), yet not all Jews have that, at least in their phenotype, obviously and Mediterranid, Alpinoid are the next common racial elements in the Euro-Jewish population.

[Rouxinol]

Is she Ashkenazi or Sephardic?

Sephardic.

[Agrippa]

Sephardic.

Thought so, they are said to have less of the Central-Eastern European and Armenoid, and more Orientalo-Mediterranid. The latter will blend more easily and harmonious with local Mediterranid variants, till being no longer recognisable.

[lei.talk]

Daniela Sofia Korn Ruah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniela_Ruah) was born in Boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston), Massachusetts, the only child of Dr. Moisés Carlos Bentes Ruah and his former wife Catarina Lia Azancot Korn. She has a distinguishable birthmark in her right eye, and her other eye is hazel. Her father was a resident in Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, and Throat) in the Boston University-Tufts University Program. When Ruah was five years old, her father completed his Residency, and the family returned to Portugal, where the parents divorced and where she spent the rest of her childhood. Her father is of Portuguese Jewish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_and_Portuguese_Jews) descent. Ruah's mother is the daughter of a Sephardi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephardi_Jews) mother, who was born in Portugal, and an Ashkenazi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews) father, who was born (1922) in what is now Wrocław (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wroc%C5%82aw), Poland.

By the way, here's her father, Carlos Ruah:

And her mother, Catarina Korn:

[Agrippa]

The mother has obvious Armenid influences and looks more Jewish in comparison, while Mediterranid is still predominant.

The father shows Alpino-Cromagnoid influences which show up in the daughter beside the pred. Mediterranid character coming from her mom most likely, with the Armenid influence falling...

[Damião de Góis]

So where would she look most typical? She is essencially jewish:


Her father is of Sephardic Portuguese Jewish descent. Ruah's mother is the daughter of a Sephardi mother, who was born in Portugal, and an Ashkenazi father, who was born (1922) in what is now Wrocław, Poland, she also had a Spanish grandmother

[chipriota]

East Med + Alpine

[Sikeliot]

She looks more SE European than Portuguese.

[chipriota]

She said above that she's Jewish

[Damião de Góis]

I'm a guy.

[chipriota]

Sorry :embarrassed

[Sikeliot]

I was aware of that when I answered.

[Trun]

She looks more SE European than Portuguese.

Doesn't strike as Balkanite. Maybe Greek only.

[chipriota]

^She doesn't strike me as Greek either.

[Damião de Góis]

Sorry :embarrassed

No problem, you're not the first to think that.

I think she passes as portuguese actually:

Guy5XpubMKU

[chipriota]

I agree, she looks more Western than Eastern

[GeistFaust]

Basic West-Mediterranid type, Atlanto-Mediterranid oriented overall though, so you could just classify her as a standard Atlanto-Mediterranid type.

[chipriota]

Her surname means "spirit" and also "wind" in Hebrew.

[Queen B]

She doesn't look like Greek actually...

[Heart of Oak]

Arabian of some type...

[Raskolnikov]

She does have various Arabid traits.

[chipriota]

She DOES NOT look Arabian AT ALL!

[Heart of Oak]

Doesn't strike as Balkanite. Maybe Greek only.

I don't understand your picture. What's it for?

[Heart of Oak]

Arabian to some extent look at the eyes, nose and jaw line...

[Atlantic Islander]

Atlanto-Med/CM.

[Rouxinol]

She's Jewish (and practices it) - comes from a family of Jewish physicians. I had opened a thread on her before:

http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25857

She doesn't look specifically Jewish though.

Agrippa classified her as:


Atlantomediterranid/Atlantid basically, probably a touch of Cromagnoid/Alpinoid.

She looks pretty much South Western to me and not Jewish at all.

Jews are no race indeed, but an ethnoreligious group with further distinctions.

Is she Ashkenazi or Sephardic?

[rashka]

Definitely a western look.

A good looking woman to my eyes.

[ÁGUIA]

She fits almost faultlessly among Portuguese population. Just another brunette girl like many others in here.
De facto only became aware of her Jewish heritage after her departure to US. Good looking girl.

She does look Portuguese but I can see how she is a bit more "eastern" than average. I am surprised she was not aware growing up of her Jewish ancestry considering her surname is clearly Sephardic.
