You know what country has a Jewish first lady? Iceland. Yes, ICELAND. Go figure.

Profile: Rembrandt

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=813

Will have to stop by Rembrandt's "Jewish" house next time I'm in Amsterdam. That and a few other places. Yeah... that's the ticket.

Rembrandt was suggested by "bjeweled" from Bangor, Maine. Not his real name. Or her real name. We hope.

Profile: Gabe Kapler

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=812

Gabe was suggested by Bruce from Beverly Hills, site mainstay Moishe from La Jolla, Bob from (gasp!) Iowa, and Sarah from Boston who tells us that Gabe Kapler is a HOT baseball player.

Maybe he should look into air conditioning?

We do get some criticism from European readers that our website is too American-centric. That might be true... but so is most of our readership. Can't please everyone...

Profile: Harvey Keitel

Profile: Jorge Luis Borges

Heloisa from Brazil, who suggested Borges, wants us to be more serious and profile more Latin Americans. More Latin Americans, sure. Serious? NEVER!

Profile: Cristina Yang

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=808

According to Moishe, Cristina Yang was suggested by.....me!? I have no idea how this happened. I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy in 2 years. Haven't cared about it for 3. Can't imagine what conversation we were having that brought it up. Anyway, it's Cristina Yang! Hooray?

Yeah, I know, we all would've been a lot more excited about this in 2005. Maybe I can profile some random Jewish character from Ally McBeal next...

Profile: Samuil Marshak

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=807

As far as we know, the conversation depicted in this profile is entirely fictional. As far as we know.

This is just horrible on so many levels.

Update: Jew for Jesus is now with Jesus

Moishe Rosen, the founder of the oxymoronic Jews for Jesus, kicked the bucket earlier this week.

And... we're quoted in the NY Daily News!

The web site JewOrNotJew.com labeled Rosen "Barely a Jew" in 2008.

"Jews for Jesus? How does that fit?" the site wrote. "What's next, Atheists for God?"

Thanks Gary!

Solomon was suggested by Yosef from Eilat. Snopes.com goes in detail about the dollar-bill rumor.

Jews in the News: Potential Senator lies

Richard Blumenthal was the favorite to win the open Senate seat in Connecticut, and if he did, we might have just added him to our roster of current Jewish Senators.

But now it turns out Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam, most likely undermining his campaign.

Tsk tsk, Mr. Blumenthal. This is no way to get yourself profiled on Jew or Not Jew.
