      Schwartz & Shapiro are the most commonly recognized Jewish names, but Cohen & Levine (which was also my Grandmother's maiden name before she married my Grandfather) is also part of my family name; are also VERY common Jewish surnames.
      Funny thing about Jewish names: so "Schaeffer" is actually my family's "Ellis Island" anglicized name. It's actually "Sphaznikov" but they couldn't pronounce the Russian surname when my Grandfather came to NYC from Moscow.

      Yup. Jews get the mother's Judaism. Islam & Hinduism it's according to the father. Formal conversion guided by a rabbi is the only other way to be recognized as Jewish by all other Jews. Examples of conversion are Sammy Davis, Jr. and Elizabeth Taylor among well known people. I read Wyatt Earp also converted.

      Again, one can Only be Jewish through their Mother being Jewish. It cannot be inherited through their father.

      My friend ( danwalter) stop saying what you don't know. A good number of you who comment here like to act as if you know too much whereas you don't know anything at all. 😮😮 Whether your father or mother has Jewish bloodline in them , you have it inevitably in you. Nobody can remove it. By the way it's even through paternalism that people all over the world trace where they come from in case you don't know not even maternalism because society is founded or built on the male child not on the female child. So how do you think those famous characters mentioned above with Jewish father's are not Jews ? Your analysis doesn't make any sense at all.

      @danwalter1486 Год назад +5

      @@chibuzonwagboso1625 unfortunately it may be that way in many other religions around the world but NOT for the Jewish religion. From Wikipedia: All Jewish religious movements agree that a person may be a Jew either by birth or through conversion. According to halakha, a Jew by birth must be born to a Jewish mother. Halakha states that the acceptance of the principles and practices of Judaism does not make a person a Jew.
      In Judaism, matrilineality or matrilineal descent is the tracing of Jewish descent through the maternal line. According to traditional halakha, Jewish descent is matrilineal: the child of a Jewish mother is automatically Jewish, while the child of a non-Jewish mother is non-Jewish unless they have converted to Judaism.[1]

      One is ONLY Jewish if their mother is Jewish. And her mother and so on. Even if one decides to convert OUT of the religion, per Halacha (Jewish law), you are STILL Jewish. It doesn't matter who or how knew was raised, or how Jewish one "feels", the Halachas are the laws, for thousands of years, and what makes us all part of the covenant of Abraham.

      Vicky, please see my comment on the "Ernie Buchinski" thread above, for a SLIGHTLY different take on it. Were there no such "world take-over plans" of us "stupid inferior races goyim", there would be no problem.
      Alas, though, there IS by certain of their very influential leaders & in their men's & women's groups (All? Don't know - hope not!), so the overwhelming over-preponderance of their group members IS a problem, as it is emblematic of certain in-group favoritism practices that are grotesquely unfair to the rest of us. Cheers!

My husband's family was Jewish in Dortmund in the early 1900, they had a business until the day of the burning of the Synagoge and persecution of Jews, they moved East to Poland, well wrong move considering what followed. Jews were persecuted by the Nazi regime and later in 1967 anybody with a Ashkenazy surname was persecuted by the Polish communist regime, regardless if you identified as Jewish or not.

    Thank you for this lovely and interesting video, some of these were really surprising. I guess the most surprising was Bruno Mars and I have a comment about that. Although personally I believe that people have the right to identify as whatever they wish and follow which ever faith They choose, technically, at least according to your facts, Mars is not Jewish. You said that Bruno Mars father is Jewish therefore making Bruno Jewish. According to Judaism that is not true, according to Judaism it goes to the mother so if his mother is not Jewish and his father is then he is not Jewish. Not that it matters, like I said but just thought Id mention it. Peace and love to everyone.

    The title of this video about celebreties who are 'surprisingly Jewish' has slightly if not very phobic undertones, saying they are surprisingly Jewish because as Judaism is a faith/religion it is almost as if they are being accused of somehow hiding that yet clearly they are not because otherwise it would have been more difficult for that fact to be put into a video like this so I am not really sure what the point of this was or even why this was made and the title is just off in my opinion.

Is there really a need to point out who's "surprisingly Jewish"? The people mentioned in the video are Jewish...so how's that of any significance to anyone other than the celebrity and/or their family? I agree that the point of this video isn't clear. Was it intended to be someone's idea of an expose'?

      @nodoboho Год назад +7

      I wonder if you or any of the people who have replied to you are Jewish, because I am and I understand the title and don't have a problem with it. Firstly, you need to understand that being Jewish is an ethnicity and a culture as well as a religion.
      Because of this, many people, non-Jews and Jews alike, think they can "spot" Jews by sight or some other signifier. Sometimes, even _we_ are surprised, like when I read in a snarky Jewish magazine that Scarlett Johansson was Jewish (they joked that she was a "kosher Danish"), and I wouldn't have spotted William Shatner nor Lauren Bacall.
      We all have stereotypes and many people like discovering things about celebrities that they didn't know or that break stereotype. Like the way people like finding out who's gay among famous folks. Some we already "knew", but some are a surprise.
      That's why Adam Sandler's songs listing who's Jewish in Hollywood is so popular. Jews love keeping track of this stuff, too. I remember my father telling me Tony Curtis was born Bernie Schwartz. Imagine that.
