Jewish is a religion, not an ethnicity. There are Jews in many different countries. Some are Isreali, European, Etc…So this does not clarify his ethnicity.

Cindy, Jews are seen as an ethno-religious group, and that is why very many people lay claim to ‘Jewish’ roots. Having said that, not all Jews are born into it, and not all individuals of Jewish descent practice Judaism as a religion, but the culture may remain strong within their lives.
