Posted: 5/9/08 at 9:55amSomeone once told me that Eden was Spanish. However, yesterday, someone told me that she was Jewish. Is she Spanish, Jewish, both, or neither?

Posted: 5/9/08 at 10:07amclue for Spanish or Jewish? Her father could be Spanish and her mother could be Jewish, which would make her Spanish and Jewish. Updated On: 5/9/08 at 10:07 AM

Yes. I've searched Eden Espinosa Jewish and Eden Espinosa Spanish 3 times already.I'm going to look on her website now.
EDIT: Mexican!
The granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, Ms. Espinosa, now 26, was a childhood ham, enlisting her little brother for her living room performances and directing her relatives when to applaud.
She sang in the large nondenominational church where her father, Eddie, was a pastor and wrote religious songs. Her grandmother, who has always spoken to Ms. Espinosa in Spanish (although Ms. Espinosa replies in English), took her to dinner theaters, opera and the Los Angeles "Nutcracker" every Christmas.

Posted: 5/9/08 at 1:30pmActually, Judaism is the only religion that is also a race-- you can be Jewish and Atheist.
#16re: Eden Espinosa - Spanish, Jewsish, Both, or Neither
Posted: 5/9/08 at 1:32pmHuh? Can you clarify, Harpz? (If you're being serious, that is.)

Posted: 5/9/08 at 1:34pmI think musicaltheatrefan3 was just curious what her background is. I don't understand the whole "does it matter?" questions. Obviously they were just wondering and asking if anyone on the board knew lol.

I was a Jewsish once...it didn't fit my lifestyle so I became a Spanish instead.

Posted: 5/9/08 at 1:43pmYup, Judaism was ruled a race in 1980 by the Supreme Court. It is kind of controversial, and some Jews are not happy with the label. It was done to protect Jews from anti-discrimination laws, and because of the idea that although anyone can be Jewish, the religion stemmed from a certain ethnic group in a specific geographical location. I learned this in my World Religions class-- so, if your mother is Jewish, but you yourself don't believe in it, you are a "secular Jew."

And don't forget Sammy Davis, Junior was Jewish and Black! And his father was Jewish and Black AND Spanish....Sammy Davis Sen~ior!
(Damn, I can't put a tilde on my n!)
I DO think it is important to know if Eden is Jewish or Mexican or whatever because she might want to play a role that is NONE of those things someday and that should just not be allowed. EVER.
So good for you to getting to the bottom of the matter,musicaltheatrefan3.
PEACE.
#21re: Eden Espinosa - Spanish, Jewsish, Both, or Neither
Posted: 5/9/08 at 3:56pmI know that Judaism is a religion. I am Jewish. You can definitely be both, look at the title, "Eden Espinosa - Spanish, Jewish, BOTH, or Neither". I am a Jew with Russian, Polish, Romanian, German, and Spanish ancestry.

Posted: 5/9/08 at 4:01pmInteresting... Thanks for the clarification, Harpz. I was really confused for a second there.

Someone once told me that Eden was Spanish. However, yesterday, someone told me that she was Jewish.
The however implies that you think it is either/or.
