As are Dan's character William Morris Barfee and Logainne is part Jewish because of Carl dad.
Also Celia's character Olive Ostrofsky is Jewish

Woot for us tribe members. I had no idea a lot of those people were. Jewish geography is always fun.

Isn't it interesting that Kristin Chenoweth and Mark Kudisch (who is Jewsih which was acknowledged earlier on this thread) were once engaged? I wonder if one of them was considering converting for the other.

You're kidding, right? Kristin is as Christian as they come. She wouldn't touch a synagogue with a ten foot...wand!

I don't think that's true. She is a very strong Christian, but she's also open-minded and accepting of everyone. Not that she'd ever convert to Judaism, but I'm sure she has nothing against it.

It could be why they broke up. I have heard other things though.

Tom Cruise - I believe, has lost his mind. I was shocked when I found out Cheno was on that "700 Club" show, Pat Robertson is the KING of Hatred. I know he was allegedly not on the day she was, but just appearing on that show - It leaves me with a bad taste.
Golde Hawn is half Jewish, lol - I believe the Jewish Community keeps the arts alive by exposing their children to the finer arts and such and THANK GOD for that. They seem to hold on to more important values such as Family, Art - the kind of things one cannot buy. I suppose it is as sung in "Fiddler", Tradition.
Also, note how many funds & grants are from Jewish people, It is important to give back to your community and the world.
I suppose I'm just saying : JEWS ROCK!

Ethel Merman was not Jewish. According to Jule Styne, she was terrified back then for the public to think she was Jewish as there was lots more Anti-Semitism at that time. According to Jule, Ethel was invited to a Cedar which Jule cooked and when she sat down at the table she pulled out a ham sandwich and proceeded to eat it, a most un-jewish trafe sort of thing to do. Jule promptly threw the offending sandwich to the floor exclaiming, "Ethel --you're insulting the waiters!"
