I've seen many such posts on here about various famous people and
everyone having heated debates about whether they are Jewish or not.
what's with all the in-group out-groupt hat I see in so many Jews? Is he
more or less of a comedian if he is or is not Jewish? Would you feel
better or worse about your faith if he was or was not? I do not expect
anyone to be overly concerned about my religion and I really don't care
so much about anyone else's. If he's Jewish so what? If he's not, so
what? And what is he and so what?

For many Jews (myself included), we have a bit of an obsession on who is
Jewish and who isn't.

Sure it won't make a difference if the person is Jewish or not, but it's
nice to know that you may share the same background as someone else. It
can be hard to explain this thing to people who have no interest but if
you are jewish ands you are interested in someone's background then it is
very interesting.

And now for the next jewish or not. Bruce Willis....rumours suggest the mr
Willis is jewish.

Or, equally likely, he did something some Jews didn't like (say perhaps
Orthodox Jews) and they want to claim he's been led astray by HaSatan in
the form of some Reform rabbi.
