Fans debate whether George is Jewish based on a misheard line about circumcision from The Bris episode, with posters correcting the original poster's misinterpretation of what George said.
First off, I can't believe this has gone on as long as it has because, George is not a Jew. Proof? Here you go...
The episode with the moil, George said he's only seen one circumcised penis, his college roommates. Please excuse my ignorance, but aren't all Jews circumcised?
He said one *un*cirumcised penis.

Yes, it was DEFINITELY a NON-circumcised male, b/c I rembemr Jerry (who of course is Jewish) asked George if he had ever seen "one" and that's when George went on to tell about his roommate. And since Jerry is circumcised himself, there would be no reason to ask George if he had ever seen a circumcised "one". ;-)
You said George has only seen one circumsised penis (his roommate's) in "The Bris". Actually, I believe what he said was he had only seen one UNcircumcised penis. Elaine asked Jerry this earlier & he said he hadn'd seen one, which made her comment on how they aren't as perky as circumsised ones. Then Jerry asked George if he had ever seen one (meaning an UNcircumsised one). Just thought I'd clear that up.

On re-watching the episode I stand corrected. Thanks to everyone for clearing that up.
