My fourth grader is doing a report on famous Jewish people.

Does anybody know if there is a book or something on Seinfield
( the commedian)???

If not does anyone know of any famous Jewish football players?

Thank you in advance.

Shalom,

I never heard on Seinfield.

Did you ever heard on Rambam ( maimonidas) , Rashi, Rabbi Yehuda
Hanassi , Prophet Debora , David, Rabbi Yosef Karo , Rabbi Moshe
Feinstein , Moshe son of Amram, or Beruria ?

. . .which is quite a trick for a direct descendent of Brigham Young.

That would be quite a surprise to his ancestors, who were pretty
prominent Mormons!

Maybe you're thinking of Harris Barton, a tackle for the 49ers.

No, he's not. He's a Mormon (he's related to Brigham Young somehow).

Is this serious? His name doesn't sound Jewish...(I know, I know, that
doesn't matter).

That's very interesting, but what does that have to do with whether or not
he's a Jew?

guess know one knows "is he or isn't he" for sure on Steve Young, perhaps
Young has been mistaken for baseball palyer Steve Stone. In any event, I
have some real, confirmed (not in the religious sense) Jewish football players
for you - Randy Grossman former Pittsburgh Steeler, Sigmund Harris, Ronald
Mix (san Diego Chargers, also in Pro Football Hall of Fame) and some Brandt,
or Grant somebody from Minnesota who went to school with one of my kids in Skokie, Illinois (she's still away at school so I can't ask her).

Julian Edelman was a terrific player for the New England Patriots. Julian was selected as the Super Bowl MVP while helping lift the Patriots to a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, apparently becoming the first-ever Jewish player to win the honor.
