Was albert einstien a jew

Answer 1

Yes. He did not practice Judaism, but his Jewish identity was very strong. He was a supporter of Israel, and worked tirelessly against antisemitism.

Here are some quotes from Einstein regarding Jewish Identity.

"There are no German Jews, there are no Russian Jews, there are no American Jews....There are in fact only Jews."

"The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and the desire for personal independence-these are features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my lucky stars that I belong to it."

Answer 2

nope. He said he felt relationship to judaism and Jewish people but he was not a practicing Jew, however, according to wiki, he was a Zionist, supporting the idea of a Jewish homeland. In many of his letters, Einstein ridiculed The Bible and God, as well.

YES

Answer 3

Einstein was not a Jew but had his own ideas on religion

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the

position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different

languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not

know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the

books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the

most intelligent human being toward God."

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German

Empire on 14 March 1879. His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and

engineer. His mother was Pauline Einstein (née Koch). In 1880, the family moved

to Munich.

The Einsteins were non-observant Jews. Albert attended a Catholic elementary

school from the age of five for three years. Later, at the age of eight, Einstein was

transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium where he received advanced primary and

secondary school education until he left Germany.

But don't take our word for it. As far as the Nazis were concerned, there was

no question.

While visiting American universities in April, 1933, Einstein learned that the

new German government had passed a law barring Jews from holding any

official positions, including teaching at universities. A month later, the Nazi

book burnings occurred, with Einstein's works being among those burnt, and

Nazi Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels proclaimed, "Jewish intellectualism

is dead." Einstein also learned that his name was on a list of assassination

targets, with a "$5,000 bounty on his head." One German magazine included

him in a list of enemies of the German regime with the phrase, "not yet hanged".
