George's mom is Jewish

I caught that as well!

Maybe George's mother was so traumatized by World War 2 that she could never forgive the Germans. Maybe she lost a brother or even her father in the war. Without a doubt the Jewish people have every right to distain the Germans but IT DOES NOT MAKE ONE JEWISH because they refuse to use German products. Using the kind of evidence you are pointing out- Geroge's father is a Christian because he was buying Geroge a Christmas present before he got frustrated and created his own holiday- Festivus. ( Jerry re-purchased the Caddy from JACK Klumpos- not George Klumpos)

Maybe she's just the typical post-war American, that will only buy American-made automobiles. Of course, that's a moot point, these days!!

I agree, to say someone is Jewish just b/c he or she won't ride in a German car is a bit of a strech.

3.6 What religion is xxxxx?

Jerry is definitely Jewish. His last name is Jewish. His parents got mad at him for making-out during "Schindler's List," a film about the Holocaust. Elaine is definitely not Jewish. It was revealed she had "shiksappeal" (a strange effect non-Jewish women have on Jewish men) in "The Serenity Now". She may be Catholic because she makes the sign of the cross in "The Betrayal" and in "The Doodle". Kramer is definitely not Jewish. In "The Fatigues" he organizes a Jewish Single's Night and says "I'm not Jewish". George's religion is more difficult to in-point. George converted to Latvian Orthodox in "The Conversion", but really didn't take the religion. In "The Fatigues" Kramer uses Frank Costanza's lodge for his Jewish Single's Night. It is called 'The Knights of Columbus" apparently a Catholic affiliated organization. The question of Frank Costanza is a little puzzling. Logically, given the K of C affiliation he should be Catholic. Still, because of Jerry Stiller's interpretation, and the writing, little Yiddicisms of manner and experience creep into Frank's character constantly. As for George, I can't picture him being brought up as anything. But it is extremely possible that his mother Estelle is supposed to be Jewish, which would technically, make him Jewish as well. Estelle is less ambiguous than Frank, especially given Frank's remark ["The Money") that he wanted to buy a Mercedes, but Estelle won't ride in a German car. While other reasons have been postulated for Estelle's aversion to German cars in this group, the only logical one in the context of this particular show is that Estelle is Jewish and won't have anything to do with German cars etc. because of the Holocaust, a very common Jewish reaction. Another bit of evidence comes in the final scene of "The Serenity Now", Estelle can be seen wearing a "Chai" pendant. The little character that looks like an "H" is actually a Chai, which is a Hebrew letter. It symbolizes 'life', and you will rarely see a non-Jewish person wearing one. Also, in "The Handicap Spot" Estelle is seen playing Mah-jongg with her friends. Maj-jongg is *extremely* popular in Jewish women's circles. I mean, no good Jewish home should be without a http://www.jewishsource.com/chanukkah/99879.jpg Mah-jongg tile Menorah. :)

You know how it is said that gay guys can go into a room and identify the other gay guys but straight guys really can't tell without a program. It is the same way with George's mom. A Jewish person watching the show knows she is written as Jewish. There are so many clues, expressions, statements, names, situations. If one is not Jewish one may miss it.

Take it from me, she is written as Jewish. I have an Aunt just like her.

She doesn't say, "I won't buy a FOREIGN car." or "I only buy AMERICAN cars." She says "I won't RIDE in a German car." That is pretty strong evidence.

Who else makes Kasha?

Mike, I have an ENTIRE FAMILY like her!

(BTW, off-topic and all, but did you notice we beneath you might end up with a VP Lieberman? Interesting, no?)

I agree. The wording was everyting in that remark.

My Nana does. And it's awesome! :)
