To do my part in continuing the thread: In the episode where Jerry is dating the Native American he says: I dont get upset when someone asks me where Israel is!' Or something to that effect. So it would imply that he is Jewish.

	Even though Elaine is not Jewish, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is.
Dreyfuss is a French Jew name.  Any one recall the history of the Dreyfuss
case in France in which a Jewish officer was convicted wrongly of a crime
he dis not commit.

Sorry, but no. It's not that simple. The characters are all based on real life Jews.It's just that for reasons of ratings, the writers decided that they better claim that they are really not Jewish, except for Jerry, obviously, lest middle America be turned off by watching all these Jews cavorting. Since Jerry is the title character, he establishes the ethnicity of the show, but the others are claimed to be non-Jewish so that non Jews can relate to them. Frankly, I don't think too many inside the two coasts can relate to these characters. They are just too NOO YAWK! Am I right?? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This article was posted to Usenet via the Posting Service at Deja News: http://www.dejanews.com/ [Search, Post, and Read Usenet News!]

to them.

Sure. That's why the show is consistently ranked in the top 5 according to the weekly Nielsen ratings. Go peddle your anti-semitic crap elsewhere.

Hello Goebbels. This isn't Nazi Germany. If people say they aren't Jewish we don't examine their family tree and say "yes you are. off to the ovens."
