Was Douglas Adams Jewish

Answer 1

No and he was Christian born but atheist. However he lived with Jon Canter who was Jewish and he had a Jewish interest including a fascination with Jewish culture and Paul Simon so there a link to comedy and Monty Python who also have a Jewish fascination. A lot of people ask this because of the book and the meaning of life being 42. 42 is hugely significant in Judaism and Kabbalistic tradition but this is closely linked with Moses and additionally Ma'at in Egyptian mythology where there are 42 confessions leading to reincarnation etc.

Answer 2

No, not ethnically and certainly not religiously. (He described himself as a "radical atheist.")

Answer 3

No, Douglas Adams, the author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, was not Jewish. He was raised in the Church of England and did not practice Judaism.
