I watched an interview with Lisa Kudrow and she said that she was working on a show called Roots and they were able to trace her lineage on both sides to Belarus, so she might be Jewish but she is also Belarusian (Belaus is in Eastern Europe… landlocked by Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, & Latvia).
