Question

Fans discuss whether Jerry has explicitly identified as Jewish on the show before the April 24 episode, citing examples from other episodes that hint at his religion.

I know Jerry is a Jew off and on the show. However, the April 24th episode was the first instance in which I have heard Jerry express DIRECTLY that he is a Jew. There are many other episodes which imply that he is Jewish such as The Schindler's List episode and "The Fatigues" where Jerry attends a Jewish singles night.

My question is,

Has there been another time (other than 4/24) in which Jerry has been called or has called himself a ___Jew___???

Thanks, DJ

What about the episode where Kramer was cooking for the jewish group (I think thats what it was.) I'm pretty sure that Jerry went to it, but also George and Elaine.

Dustin.

When he asks the postman where there's a Chinese restaurant, and the postman gets offended because he thinks Jerry noticed in advance that he's Chinese, Jerry says something like "I wouldn't get offended if someone asked me where Israel is."

True. What's the question?

Hello,

In regards to the responses to my original post about Jerry saying he is Jewish...yes these are all true, but again

He never actually SAYS VERBALLY that he is Jewish.

In the recent episode, he does...which I think is the first offical time he says he is Jewish.

Let's leave it at that.

He did say he was Jewish once...at least once that I can remember. He said in the confessional that he was Jewish. The response was "That's no sin." :)

In the episode about the cigar-store Indian, Jerry asks a postman who happens to be Chinese, where a Chinese restaurant is (I think), and the postman gets all irate about some perceived racism in the question. Afterward, Jerry says, "I'm Jewish, but I don't get offended if someone asks me where Israel is."
