Jewish Celebrities

Jewish people have all sorts of careers. We are teachers, doctors, chefs, writers, lawyers, therapists, 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 hits and hit the homers!

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!

Plus, now, music stars, reality stars, Jewish directors, writers and producers, and even Jewish characters have their own sections in our list!

In honor of Israel's 60th birthday in 2008, we started 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 and 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... 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.
