Ancestry.com says I’m 99% Jewish

Andrea gave me a DNA test kit so I might know about my roots and biologically related relatives. No surprises.
Except that perhaps “Jewish” came up as my heritage. So is that my race, my ethnicity? Who's a Jew?

I'm one percent from the Balkans. What are the Balkans?

There are no surprises that I share DNA with my brother Larry Rudnick (50%) or my cousin Robert Rudnick (16%), son of my father Joseph Rudnick's brother Edward Rudnick or my cousin Jeffrey Brown (16%) son of my mother Bernice [Brown] Rudnick's brother Stanley Brown. If I knew more about genetics perhaps I'd understand the percentages better. Ha!
