I Can't believe I forgot the Barbra! I feel ashamed. Maybe we could name all the Jewish people on Broadway. There is a song in MOnty Python's Spamalot that is called You won't succeed on Broadway. The rest of the song is about not doing well on broadway unless you have jews in yur performance.
In Christ,

I would guess, that the numbers of half-Jewish actors are considerably less than completely Jewish actors because of the fact that Jews tended (that seems to be changing a bit these days--) to marry within their religion which is also their very identity and survival..
My friend/co-worker's father is Jewish and her mother Irish/English, but since she is not an actress, I guess she doesn't count! 
My husband and I have friends that are both Greek and Jewish, and they are all truly lovely people. The city of Thessalonika (before WWII) had been one of the largest and most thriving Jewish cities in Europe since ancient times.
I hope that you have fully explored the richness and history of your Russian/Jewish roots.

(I hope you are up to date on your Yiddish phrases too--they aren't just for us New Yorkers anymore...courtesy of Seinfeld!) Shalom, Alice! But of course, dahling. Oy, this thread is driving me meshugge! I have to shlepp downstairs and make dinner now.  I don't know too much Yiddish, but the words I do know aren't nice... God bless, Karen

Dear Karen and Teen,
That's great! I just love listening to Yiddish...the little I understand. It's such an expressive language.

Zenovia Zenovia, you need to listen to "Shake Your Tochas" by 2 Live Jews... then you'll be educated on Hebrew slang. "And people often ask us what exactly is a shiksa/ she's a non-Jewish girl who stands out at the bar mitzvah..." God bless, Karen

Did you hear about the Jewish cantor who was invited to do a solo at a Roman Catholic wedding?
He sang "Oy Vay Maria" beautifully.

Karen, No, not too many Jewish friends...one family in my area is Jewish and they're pretty much Christian as it is. I just have a love of language to a certain extent! Logos Teen

You all forgot the most famous Jewish trio: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Pavloosh, You stated: Did you hear about the Jewish cantor who was invited to do a solo at a Roman Catholic wedding? He sang "Oy Vay Maria" beautifully. Well, did you hear about the Ruthenian cantor who was invited to do a solo at a Jewish wedding? He sang "Slava Nageelah" beautifully also.
