How many Jews are on the senate judiciary committee?

Answer 1

Of the 19 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee as of June 2010, 7 or 8 of them are Jewish. Ben Cardin of Maryland, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Diane Feinstein of California, Al Franken of Minnesota, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Charles Schumer of New York, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania are unambiguously Jewish. In addition, Ted Kaufman of Delaware has a Jewish father, was said to be raised Catholic, but was once quoted as contrasting himself to his non-Jewish friends. All eight are Democrats, as are all of the Jewish members of the Senate at this time.
