encyclopaedia judaica - wikipedia backups - famous jews dinoglyfs & dinolits tables and charts of the jewish impact on the science, technology and inventions in the 20th century fog jewish nobel laureates   wikipedia on "famous jews" - backup & edited files jewish heritage - famous jews – jewish celebrities – outstanding jewish personalities – kuuluisia juutalaisia take an excursion on the revised 2nd edition of the 22-volume encyclopaedia judaica (2007)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_famous_jews this page is a list of people identified as jews, either by themselves or by others. "jewishness" has the meanings both of "adherence to the religion of judaism" and "membership in the ethnic group 'jews.'" people of both groups are listed here. by other criteria, these people may be listed under other nationalities as well. this page does not differentiate between orthodox, conservative, reform and reconstructionist jews. it also does not take into account whether those listed acknowledge their jewish identity or origins. jewish tradition defines a jew as a person with a jewish mother. most jews would not agree with listing someone who was not brought up jewish, or who does not adhere to jewish beliefs as "jewish." many listed here may have spent their lives disguising their jewish origins, and married gentile (non-jewish) spouses. in many cases the individuals listed may have only one jewish parent. they may have never practiced judaism, and may even have adopted another faith, or may be secular or atheist.   this list is incomplete; you can help by expanding
