Lewin is listed as Jewish but the source appears to be in Hebrew so I am not able to judge its validity. However, almost all online references, including obituaries, mention that his parents were Anglican missionaries in South Africa and his father was a priest. The Lewin surname is often Jewish but not exclusively. A more definitive source is required.

Thank you for completing the research. I have changed Category:South African Jews to Category:South African people of Polish-Jewish descent.
