Shylock.

Poor chap never got his money back and his daughter became a christian.

I never knew Rachel Riley was Jewish.

As it happens, someone was in trouble recently for trolling her on social media. He was charged with inciting Rachel hatred

John the Baptist [nap]

Bob Dylan

adolph hitler....alledgedly

Honey Melon

Felix Mendelssohn for me.

Yehudi Menuhin .

rabbi lionel blue

Mikhail Tal, (nap)

Anne Frank, (nb)

Ronnie Rosenthal (treb)

shocking that nobody mentioned woody allen

Should not forget Harold Abrahams & Fred Trueman

fiery fred was not jewish surely

Yes he was, though he never found out till late in his life.

how can you not find out? wasnt not having a foreskin and having bagels for breakfast every day a bit of a giveaway?

or maybe a predilection to believing they are the chosen one's....perhaps.

TBF the OP has not mentioned whether we're including the Jewish religion, race, or either.

extra apostrophe there... well fck my skull cap and call me gertrude.

My Mum

Michael Tabor

Des O'Connor

1.01 he was never circumcised & I think your find you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy a bagel.

Pumpy, where have all the decent places to get a Salt Beef sarnie gone havent had one since the Boer war and theres very little chance of one in Berks

Re Bagels, think that outside of Jewish delis they're  not that commonly served

Hi Zil, think your find loads of places in the capital that will serve an array of different fillings in Bagels.
Often go to a place called Belgique, they do a decent one,
Not sure your find one near you though

Cannot beat Brick Lane I suppose but that's a bit far for you to come !

Yep, Burnham to Brick Lane isnt actually local used to be a Quite a few around the Harrow/Edgware/Kingsbury area when i lived there, the only Salt Beef sarnie with mustard and a Cream Cheese and Smoked Salmon combo Bagel used to be a regular munch when i tic tacced at wembley around 20 years ago..

to be honest Brick lane is open 24 hours, you could do it in less than an hour around 1.00am

Right off out for a spot of breakfast

mine is mel brooks

Peter Sellers, for me. You can get a lovely salt beef sarnie in Selfridges zilzal.

Spelling - I was about to say I remember eating salt beef sandwiches in Selfridges but that was many years ago.

Bloom's restaurant?

I think Becks was referring to his Jewish heritage.

He has described himself as being "half-Jewish" although I think he only has one Jewish grandparent (maternal grandfather)

It is called The Brass Rail iawn. They do a wickedly fiery horseradish sauce with it, I could scoff one right now.

Still? It was called The Brass Rail when I was last there circa 1980

When I mentioned Bloom's, I was offering another option. No connection with Selfridge's

sammy davis jr or dudley moore--both great and both dead

Bloom's in Whitechapel closed around 20 years ago.

It did but there's one in Golder's Green and Edgware

Sorry - I was wrong. All closed now

Bloom in heck

My Great great grandfather. Last practicing Jew on my mums side of the family tree. My favourite side to research too.

How is your lad doing Hank?

Otto Frisch
Howard Wolowitz

Maureen Lipman

"You got an ology?"

WINSTON CHURCHILL,CELIENE DION,NIGEL FARAGE & THE CHUCKLE BROTHERS.

This is worth a read

the waiters were on piece time so would bully the customers to eat quickly

hh sultan v....youre a big bang fan as well

I sure am postmanp

Jascha Heifetz another favourite

no mention yet  of the funniest man ever ??? phil silvers ??

I'm saving up to be Jewish.

Solly Atwell  " he's more bent than the villains "

Terry Hall (Specials)

Roger Lloyd Pack

Sir Paul McCartney (twice by marriage)!

Best salt beef sandwich used to be at the **** tavern under Smithfield market. Served with a wally.

C ock

Reading through this thread thinking I must post up Maureen Lipman I see that I already have done... 4 years ago!

Here is another favourite Jew.

Neil Diamond

Hell Yeah. His best lyrics ever.
.
https://youtu.be/E_LOZGJGkxw

M_D, I cannot possibly tell you just how much I absolutely love Neil Diamond
I have been listening to his music ever since I can remember and I although I'm really not a very good singer 'I Am I Said' is my karaoke song when I've had a few pints! He is just simply sublime.

I Am I Said - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf1S9U2ghrI

Warren Zevon (oops what a giveaway)

Jesus Christ

1.01 weighed in

Although a little late

pumphol- you have a message.

Lenny Bruce..a shocking omishun...way ahead of his time.

still Rachel Riley, Already 

Bernard Manning

I've always liked Judas Iscariot. The fallguy who gets subjected to a fake news  conspiracy by Matthew,Mark,Luke and John and doesn't even get his reply the Gospel of Judas published.

Barabbas!

Slippy

don't think anyone's mentioned Stephen Fry, so I bagsy him.

Without Judas you probably wouldn't have christianity. I reckon they called in VAR on his actions at the pearly gates and he was allowed in and given an extra special cloud.

Sammy Davis Jnr all day long.

Mike Read

Reid

wunawand now

Tony Bloom is a shocking omission.

Gene Simmons is Jewish. When he reads the Torah, he LOVES IT LOUD! :)

I never mention it but I'm a massive Squeeze fan. Back in the 80s, the DJ John Sachs (son of Andrew Sachs), after playing a Squeeze song said, "they'll love that down in Golders Green".

I always wondered what he meant by that. I don't think any of the band were Jewish.

Maybe it was a cryptic reference to the album from which the song was from: East Side Story.  Wasn't the musical "West Side Story" originally intended to be called "East Side Story" and about the New York Jewish gangs?

I think it was

Claudia Winkleman   

I'm not sure if she's jewish but her half sister Sophie Winkleman (big suze!!!!!!) IS a different gravy. .

Simon Wiesenthal

pinocchio

Highly original

Mr dog.man-is that because of Pinocchio's superb business acumen?

Eric Hall

Pie
Qui tollis peccata mundi

Sed ipse non fecit, ipse fecit!!

romanes eunt domus!

Which of course reminds us that the greates jew of all time was .... Brian.

He might have been a Jew, but Brian was just a very naughty boy. It is nothing to do with Judaism and one can't say just because one of them was naughty that all of them are! Now- where have I heard that before!

Only the greatest jew of all time would have someone called Slicer say he wasn't.

No votes for Harvey Weinstein?

Well you know what they say: "Slicer by name, Slicer by nature"!

That Irish Band Tribute Act - Jew2

He wanted to  be Sedated.

For everyone searching for a great Saltbeef sarnie
Try Montys deli in Hoxton St or theres one in Spitalfields market

Further to the North of London ,theres a couple of branches of BK deli
In Edgware & Pinner

When I was in the UK a couple of years ago, I went with some friends who live in EdgWare to the local BK. They stuffed the sandwich with salt beef and it was delicious accompanied by pickled cucumbers. Yum Yum!
