:It's not really a defining characteristic. He doesn't practice the religion, define himself by that ancestry, or socially focus on jewish culture. [[User:Gronky|Gronky]] ([[User talk:Gronky|talk]]) 02:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

::After putting it together, I too wondered why no mention of his Jewish ancestry is made here (both that he looks it, and his surname are good indicators). I'll admit my *own* interest is piqued by an affirmation bias of a, shall we say "certain" positive stereotype, but it seems the author has deliberately left out this information to avoid such things. I don't believe the preceding response by Gronky is apt, since many notable figures do neither the same things that he listed - how many persons described "of African-American decent" in their Wikipedia articles practice black religion? or define themselves by their black ancestry? or socially focus on black culture? In fact most public figures of ethnicity go out of their way to avoid being tied to it; yet Wikipedia mentions it because it is encyclopedic to do so (regardless of how some may interpret it).
