Jews in the News: Nobel #2

Rainer Weiss, whose family fled Nazi Germany, and Barry Barish won for Physics, sharing with goy Kip Thorne.

(edited to fix Barish: Jew!)

  1. According to the reliable JINFO.ORG Barry Barish has at least two Jewish grandparents, so he must be Jewish in some way.

  2. What about Richard Thaler for Nobel Prize in Economics?

  3. Not sure; he is listed on JInfo, with it creeping not Wikipedia, but couldn't find other proof.

  4. Not sure what you mean "with it creeping not Wikipedia." ?

  5. Wikipedia now has him as Jewish, which links to Jinfo, which doesn't have a source.

  6. Other sources are popping up. "Richard H. Thaler was born on September 12, 1945 in East Orange, New Jersey, to Alan M. Thaler and Roslyn (Melnikoff). He was born into a Jewish family and grew up with two younger brothers."

    So let's assume he is Jewish until proven otherwise!
