Jewish Celebrities

Jewish people have all sorts of careers. We are teachers, doctors, chefs, writers, lawyers, social workers, webmasters... you name it!

You'll also find Jewish people in movie theaters, in concert halls, and in sports arenas, but not just in the audience. The JUF Tween Page keeps an eye out for famous Jews in Hollywood -- both on screen and behind the scenes -- plus Jews who rock the cool hits and hit the home runs!

Read on and you'll be surprised when you learn how many of your favorite celebrities are Jewish. Keep checking back, we add new ones all the time! And every December, we update all the celebrities' stories, with their new and upcoming movies and albums we think you'll love!

Starting in 2008, in honor of Israel's 60th birthday, we are marking all our Israeli stars with, what else, an Israeli star---- just like on the Israeli flag! So keep checking back as we tell you about new Israeli stars to see all the great talent Israel has given the world.

Bonus: When you see the word Bonus after a star's name, that's your chance to find out more about something cool and Jewish! Like all the Jews on Buffy, Alias, Star Trek, and Saturday Night Live... behind-the-Hollywood-scenes people like Jewish directors, writers, and producers... and Jewish rock stars, figure-skaters, magicians, game-show hosts, and superhero-makers! So if you don't see the star you are looking for, type their name in the Search box in the top right of your screen and click the word "Search." Could be, they don't have their own profile, but they did make it into a Bonus section.

We wish to thank columnist Nate Bloom, the editor of Jewhoo.com, for helping us find the majority of celebrities on this page.
