Who is a Jew?

Well, Ron Jeremy certainly, and on Beliefnet you can find a new interview in which the porn star discusses his Jewish background and his thoughts about Judaism and sexuality.
We’re all Jewish. [My family] comes from Russia and Poland, as most American Jews do. Out of all of us, only my grandmother was religious. My brother and I got bar mitzvahed, but we weren’t that religious. And as my joke goes, in my documentary I said, “After getting bar mitzvahed, I hardly ever went to temple–unless I wanted some free coffee and Danish.” I discovered that food tastes so much better when nobody’s paying for it.
Meanwhile, the New York Times is reporting that Thomas Jefferson might have been the first Jewish president.

Actually, I think that the Times report merely stated that Jefferson is presumed to have a rare genetic marker found in some Sephardic Jews; so he might have had some Jewish blood but he most certainly was not a Jew.
Although I would rather count Jefferson in the Tribe more than Ron Jeremy…..

Jefferson, with perhaps a Sephardic ancestor, yes!
George “my mom’s Jewish but we loves our porkchops” Allen, no way Jose!
