No - it was just a rumour, as explained in Menachem Cecil Herman's bio page:

During that time, the DYB band did an MTV clip & interview with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, his band was in Israel for a concert, & DYB members took them on a blast of a tour of the Old City. All the rumors about Menachem might come from this time; Menachem played with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. During the interview, (this is where the famous saying comes from), Menachem told the interviewer when questioned about his new found look, (side curls & beard), he simply answered, "Hey…, I can be Jewish & still play Rock & Roll…!"
