JEREMY BLOOM IS NOT JEWISH... his dad is Jewish but he said in several interviews he is NOT Jewish... he does not follow the faith and is not JEWISH... he said that several times stop putting it in that he is...

[edit] I'll change it

My great-great grandfather was Jewish, and my great grandfather didn't call himself Jewish. I, too, consider myself white.

[edit] Don't take it out, unless..."

Hey, don't listen to him, unless he can furnish a DIRECT QUOTE where Jeremy Bloom SPECIFICALLY STATES that he is not Jewish. The Jerusalem Post seems to think that he's Jewish; they wrote an entire article about him, with the headline "Jewish Football Player..." (see footnote in the article.) By the way, why don't either of you sign your name with four tildes so that we can know who you are and when you wrote the post? Duprees62 05:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] According to this article in the Atlanta Jewish Times, Jeremy Bloom is not Jewish.

There are two articles on this page. The one closer to the bottom is called "Carrying Israel's Olympic Hopes," by Jessica Steinberg. In the paragraph entitled "Familiar Names," Steinberg writes- "Peter Bockelman, Weiss’ manager, says he is not Jewish. A spokeswoman for U.S. Skiing said Bloom’s father is Jewish, but the skier does not want to be identified with a religion..." http://www.atljewishtimes.com/archives/2002/020802cs.htm According to the article, his father is Jewish, which indicates to me that his mother isn't. If anything, he's half-Jewish, and not the traditional half (by Orthodox Jewish law, Judaism comes from the mother's side of the family. For example, I have read that Elvis Presley's grandmother is Jewish. So who is more Jewish, Elvis Presley or Jeremy Bloom? According to Orthodox Jewish law, it would be Elvis. In the article, Bloom says, through his agent, that he doesn't "identify" as a Jew. So, go figure??? Slater79 13:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
