Adam is Jewish on his mother's side. Although they celebrated Jewish holidays ("Chanukah and occasionally Passover") when he was growing up Adam has said in an interview "we were kind of Jewish by form. Lightly Jewish. Diet Jews. More of a heritage thing." He has also said in many interviews that he is not 'religious' (particular church or religion) but considers himself 'spiritual'...he believes in God and the Universe.
Not Jewish for sure. So he is probably German or from one of the surrounding countries
