Yeah, I checked, Adam Pascal is Jewish.
Ok, Jane2 or Jane1, why does Adam Sandler make a Hanukah song? He just wants to share the fun or whatever. It doesn't mean that he's insanely weird or obsessed with Jewish celebrities.

I think Adam Sandler started the Hanukah Song to have fun, with the added bonus of making those Jews who feel all alone on Christmas time feel like they belong. He adds to it most every year--it's getting ridiculous!

Liev Schreiber and Aaron Lazar are also Jewish, as is Carole Shelley ("I'm the only Jewish person in the cast and I'm playing the shiksa!" as she said in an interview when she was doing Cabaret).

Oy vey. Norbert is not Jewish, though with a name as brutal as Norbert Leo Butz, we might as well make him an honorary Jew.

For those of you who don't know, we Jews are often blessed with not such great names.

I would definitely say Norbert is an honorary Jew.

Oscar Hammerstein was Jewish? I thought that he was Catholic and rather devoted. (Not cheating on his wife, not cursing, writing about inspirational topics, etc.)

Yes she is, Elphaba3.

Adding to the list: Eli Wallach and the late great Judy Holliday. She's somebody I wish I had seen on stage. She passed away when I was a kid. Unique talent.

Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, not Jewish, as far as religion, not heritage goes. Remember his rants about not taking meds or going to therapy, and that vitamins conquer all? Those comments were made based on what Scientology teaches.

Oh and incidentally, Cheno is not Jewish, she is a devoted Christian. (In a few of her photos, she wears a cross necklace.)
