An excellent sumation!
Just Thought I Should Mention It
Definitive answer:
Her father -- from whom she has been estranged since her parents divorced
when she was a child -- is Jewish.
Her mother -- we're not sure. She may have converted or not. Apparently
she does not now consider herself Jewish.
SMG does not consider herself Jewish.
Which certainly suggests that her mother wasn't.

SMG owns Jewish cattle? Do they yield Kosher meat? They worship them!?
Who cares!
Except prehaps her husband to be who may/may not need a little snip If her
family is so inclined!
Sheesh!

Great. You poorly recall something, then state it as a fact.
One person in the other thread vaguely recalled that her mother converted to
Judaism, then converted back; she was never Jewish as the conversion wasn't
sincere IF that's what actually happened.

Isn't that special. We have no "facts" about her mother, just a bunch of
vague recollections. We have the fact that Miss Gellar states that she is not
Jewish; neither was she raised Jewish.
But that fact she states about herself isn't good enough for any of you
obnoxious jerks. Until I see hard evidence that Miss Gellar misrepresented her
upbringing, I'll take her at her word that she isn't Jewish.
Thanks all for starting, what, a third thread to falsely proclaim she's
Jewish. I have a great idea: When the new shows come on in the fall, let's not
bother to discuss them! Obviously, repeated false statements that Miss Gellar
is Jewish is all that's of interest!
Yeah, I know. I thought of that after I sent it. Oh well.

You have no right to say anything at all about her in contradiction to what she
says about herself.
>I heard the Stern interview and you did not.
Great! So far, no one has posted an excerpt from the transcript in which she
states that her mother was Jewish.
>Until all the chazerai here, I had no doubt she said born Jewish,
Not based on anything she said.

Which does what to prove here mother is Jewish?

We are assuming that people accurately reported her own remarks in which she
explicity states she's not.
That as a child, she and her mother used to sometimes go to the same church
as one of the Kennedys. I'll try and dig up the exact reference for you.
Then, Poet explode.
Indeed. Do it, Mike. ;)

Oh, not that old rumor that Joe Kennedy's father was Jewish, just passing
as Irish again...
No.
St. Patricks cathedral, in NY of course. However, IIRC she said her
mother, a schoolteacher, let her out of class to see them on one
occasion (a marriage or something). She said that after the fool's
plane crashed because he couldn't fly it ^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W I mean,
after the tragic death of JFK Jr.
More to the point, she said on Stern that she "doesn't believe in
organized religion. Never have".

What does JFK Jr. and a penguin have in common?
They're both cute, but they can't fly.

I'm starting to gain some respect for her...
