Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe influenced American culture. They introduced many Yiddish words into American English, including theater-related words like spiel and shtick.
Answer 2
Recently:
Yes, many Yiddish words, and some Hebrew words, can be found in dictionaries of American English. There are also examples of Jewish cuisine and Jewish observances that are well-known to Americans, whether or not Americans partake of them.
Historically:
The laws of Moses form much of Western legal background. Quote:
"I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation ... fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations" (John Adams, 2nd President of the United States).
"Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights, but we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both Divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and of collective conscience, and social responsibility" (Paul Johnson, Christian historian, author of A History of the Jews and A History of Christianity).
