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 this year, we are marking all our Israeli stars with, what else, an Israeli star---- just like on the Israeli flag! Why this year? Because this year, 2008, is Israel's 60th Birthday! So keep checking back as we tell you about new Israeli stars to see all the great talent Israel has given the world. And we'll also tell you about the amazing events JUF is having this year to celebrate Israel!

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! Now that's a Bonus!

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