Working Class Yid
I always get a kick out of discovering that someone I admire, who does not seem remotely Jewish, turns out to be one of the tribe.
In this case, the person in question – Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes – did not know himself until recently.
When Jimmy Barnes sang a few versus in Yiddish before 1700 Jews [...]

The rapper, who described himself as the “leader of the hip-hop community”, [...]
It’s Funny, She Doesn’t Look Jewish
She looks African-American, apparently.
Phoebe Snow is so often mistaken for African-American, she’s decided to get to the bottom of her ethnic roots. “I’m going to take a DNA test,” Snow, a Jew whose real name is Phoebe Ann Laub, told Page Six. Her decision comes after New Jersey’s (201) magazine feted the singer as one [...]
