[edit] Jewish?

Is it certain Spike Jonze is Jewish and not half Jewish or even not Jewish at all. According to Sharon Waxman, author of Rebels on the Backlot: Six Maverick Directors and How they Conquered the Hollywood Studio System, Spike Jonze isn't Jewish. She was interviewed by The Jewish Journal and asked if any of the six maverick directors she listed (Quentin Tarantino, David O. Russell, Spike Jonze, David Fincher, Steven Soderbergh, and Paul Thomas Anderson) were Jewish. She said none were except David O. Russell via his father. The interview can be found here: [1]. Furthermore, there's a site online which prettly clearly says "Spike Jonze isn't Jewish" here: [2]. Further searches show that a lot of blogs, forums, and user-contributed fan websites say Jonze is Jewish, but they could have derived this information from us! Also wiki mirrors and wikipedia leechers like nndb.com say he's Jewish. I also found a wiki mirror saying he's half Jewish. It's possible that with a name like "Adam Spiegel," it wouldn't be hard to mistake someone for Jewish. Then there's this Australian Jewish New site that says it [3], but who knows where something like that gets its information. Point is, is there anything that says for certain Spike Jonze is Jewish? Maybe something that says his lineage is Jewish might help too? 72.144.158.157 01:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Adam Spiegel may not practice Judaism as a Religion, but he is certainly Jewish in ethnicity via his family tree. 172.129.58.25 22:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)BeachBlonde
