No. He was born and raised Catholic.
Since Elvis' Mother, Gladys Love (Smith) Presley, Grandmother (Martha Tacket)was Jewish under Jewish Law Elvis would be considered as Jewish (i.e. as his Mother was born of Jewish ancestry. Elvis often wore a "Star of David" and was as proud of his Jewish heritage as he was his Christian heritage.
Elvis Presley lived as a Christian, but his family tree contained Jewish blood. His maternal grandmother was Jewish; and he even wore a "chai" necklace, and a Star of David.Input:Others claim that his great-great grandmother was Cherokee. If his maternal grandmother was Jewish, he would have been 100% Jewish according to halakhah.
YES and Elvis was proud of his heritage that also included being part Jewish.
No, he was American with German/Jewish and Scottish heritage.
Elvis heritage included Jewish ancestry. Elvis was a very spiritual man, throughout his life, and admired the Jewish faith and their customs however he was a Christian. Elvis, having served in the US Army, was aware of the history of wars including Israel and he respected their military triumphs (against all odds). Lastly, Elvis believed that we should love - honor - and respect our fellow man regardless of their geographical location.
Elvis was a Christan but also studied, and respected (as it was part of his heritage), Judaism. Elvis read books on every religion but always, at home and when he was touring/making movies/etc., kept his King James Bible with him and read it daily.
Elvis always held religion close to his heart. His passion of gospel music proves this. Tho his lifestyle at times was troubled, he always held his christian upbringing close to his heart. Many people doubt his belief because of how he died, however he was fed medicine through prescriptions by doctors and of course created an addict.
Elvis Presley.
yes, as a matter of fact, his mother's father was a great rabbi in a town in Belarus. Her family moved to New York in the early 1920's where he became the king of rock and roll.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.
If you are asking about Elvis Presley then it is Elvis.
NO, Elvis did not have any tattoo's on his body at anytime. The reason being is that Elvis, like many Southerners, had Jewish roots/heritage and it is their belief that to alter the body/skin in any fashion is...wrong. Good question by the way.
