Is Ringo Starr half Jewish

Answer 1

From what I could gather by reading the relevant source-material, the answer is no. She is "half Jewish," but the "half" is on her father's side, not her mother's side. Torah-law states that one's mother is the deciding factor. One with a Jewish father is not considered Jewish or half-Jewish. For further inquiry, see the attached Related Links.

Answer:

According to a third cousin of Presley's, one of his mother's (Gladys's) great-grandmothers was Jewish. There is no evidence that Presley or his mother shared this belief in having had a Jewish ancestor. Syndicated columnist Nate Bloom has challenged the cousin's account, which he calls a "tall tale." Most biographers list Elvis's mother's ancestry as Scots-Irish.

Answer 3

Well, first of all, there's no such thing as "half-Jewish". A person either is or isn't.

If either his mother is Jewish or he has converted to Judaism, then he is. And if

she isn't and he hasn't, then he isn't.

At various times in history ... typically when somebody was looking for a reason

to kill Jews ... they would give a person full credit if either of his parents or any of

his grandparents were Jews. But the fact is as detailed above.

Neither of Mr. Starr's parents is Jewish.
