Now that we know who the Native American and Jewish female porno princesses are, who are the male porno stars of Jewish descent? I just love surprises. BTW, I've always suspected the lovely Cherie with her obviously Yiddish lettering on her back was Jewish. Like Angelina Jolie, she should work for the U.N.
What is a "Jew," a race or a religion? I've heard people say it's strictly a religion and they sometimes mention the late Sammy Davis, Jr. and other such adherents of that faith to prove it. Yet, I've heard many other people argue that it's both a religion and a race. For example, I don't think a Nazi would have allowed a Jew to walk out of a concentration camp if that Jew claimed he didn't follow the Jewish faith. I have known of people who considered themselves Jews, but who don't believe in Judaism. From talking to many people about this and also reading about it over the course of many years, I've formed the opinion that the word Jew connotes both a religion and a race.
That said, these are some of the male porn stars that over the years I have heard or read are 'Jews' (the first three already mentioned):
Ron Jeremy Ed Powers Adam Glasser (Seymore Butts) Herschel Savage Marc Wallice (real name Mark Goldberg) Harry Reems (star of "Deep Throat")
How accurate the information was that I heard/read about the above being Jews, I can't say.
From what I've heard, you can be a 'born in jew' if your mother is jewish or you can just convert, like Sammy Davis Jr. did. But to make it official for a guy, you gotta get cut.

Not a race, more like a people (some say ethnic group).
From my limited knowledge of Judiasm (harkening back to my Bar Mitzvah days), a Jew is someone born to a Jewish mother. That is pretty much all you need to be considered a Jew as most rabbi's will tell you. Your devotion to the faith is another subject entirely.
Judaism is not a race of people. Jews come from all over the world. The two different types of Jewish "races" are what you might be referring to Pontus. Ashkenazi Jews come from Eastern Europe, whereas Sephardic Jews come from locations near the Mediterranean (Greece, Italy, Spain, etc.)
Saying Judaism is a race is kinda like saying a white guy can convert to being a black dude. You can't convert races, but you can convert religions. Another example of a black Jew is the boxer Zab Judah.
How about Rodney? Da guy who looks like Howard Stern's double. Yes, Ron Jeremy definitely is Jewish. Saw his interesting DVD autobiography. Pretty good show.
I once started a topic asking about Jewish guys in porn. Ron Jeremy is definitely Jewish - it has been talked about in his bios. I also read an article by Ron or someone else talking about how there were quite a few Jewish guys in porn, and so that is why I was wondering who they all were.
Yeah I saw that article, although it is a bit outdated because it deals with earlier performers. I would like to see an updated list of current Jewish guys in porn. Is Nick East or Vince Voyeur Jewish for example?
