Wentworth Miller a black Jew?? he is not black lol
Joshua Redman's father is jazz musician Dewey Redman, who is African-American and not Jewish nor a convert to my knowledge. It is possible that Dewey's father was Jewish, though.
Despite being widely listed as having a Jewish father, I suspect that Slash, while biracial, is not half-Jewish — in Rip It Up: The Black Experience in Rock 'N' Roll, he supposedly denies it, and assigns the rumor to his Jewish-sounding birth name 'Saul Hudson' (see [1]). I've removed him for now. Juko 22:25, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
For what it's worth, Slash did grow up in heavily Jewish West Hollywood, California and attended Fairfax High School, then heavily Jewish. This does not necessarily mean that he's Jewish, however ; he may not identify with being Jewish because of difficulties in relationships within his family.
Meskie Shibru-Sivan is listed on "IMDb", on "Mooma" and has MORE than 100 hits on Google. [2] By the criteria listed that should be enough to include her. Regards, gidonb 16:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Is he jewish? I saw him being interviewed on TV show once, and he was wearing a star of David necklace.-- Fallout boy 08:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Was he jewish, as claimed in the article? Mrbluesky 18:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Black Jews / List of Black Jews look a lot like one another right now. There should be one page that is a Template:disambig for "Black Jews" and one page that is an actual list for "List of Black Jews," with a Template:dablink at the top. Someone mind doing the cutting, pasting, comparing, and alphabetizing?— <TALK JNDRLINE TALK>
Slash isn'nt black, and if he is its only part so, so please explain yourself , person who thinks Slash is a black jew!
I think these are matters of opinion, not fact. Can I be a black jew too? According to whose definition? Do any of these have attribution we can count on? ----
There are a few "non-notable" Black Jews listed, in that they do not have Wikipedia entries. I would suggest that either: 1) people develop entries for them; or 2) they be deleted from this list.
Thoughts?
I agree. There should most definately be a page for Diane Engber. I read her most recent novel and it was spectacular.

That shows rather a misunderstanding. It is perfectly possible to find sources to provew that someone is Jewish without writing an article.-- Runcorn 21:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
We can't have that as a general principle. For example, take President of the Royal Statistical Society (which isn't even called a list). There are plenty of redlinks there, but it is essential to have all the names. The same applies to winners of Olympic medals. It is admittedly difficult to draw the line.-- Runcorn 22:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I have removed bizzy bone from the list,he converted to a muslim. In most songs off his album "Evolution Of Elevation" he sasy, espiacially in the interlude song "My Name Is Bryon" in it he says "My Name is Bryon, I Am A Slave of Allah" and he goes on to say the Allah is the master and to explain to him how the big bang theory is true.
"even if true, if he was once a jewish he should be mentioned on the list", well not really. i was once 20, does that mean i am still 20. the list is of black jewish people, and when i look at these names, half of them are not even proper jews! craig david, come on, so what if his grandmother was jewish. what if his grandmother was white, does that mean we could put him under a list of white people. same goes for lisa bonet, (just one of the names), her mother was a jew it does not mean shes a jew, because she could he a christian (seeing as her father was). this whole list is inaccurate!
The list may or may not be inaccurate. But are you helping matters by mixing up religion with race? You're even mentioning age. These are different concepts, and they should be distinguished from one another. Bus stop 18:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
lisa bonets mother was a jew, and the religion of her father is unknown either way it does not mean she was a jew
I'm not sure if I understand your argument. You are saying her mother was Jewish therefore she may not be Jewish? Bus stop 17:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Uh, where is he, enough said. 08:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
This guy's article seems to suggest he is Christian. 08:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
His article indicates he is Catholic. Additionally, Being of African descent is in dispute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Santavez ( talk • contribs) 02:31, 22 December 2009

I don't understand this page. It is called "List of Jews in the African diaspora". There have been millions and millions of Jews living in Africa, or whose parents or ancestors lived in Africa but they do not. This includes the long-standing Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Libyan, Egyptian, and Ethiopian Jewish communities, which existed for very long periods and whose own "diasporas" are now all over the place in LA, NY, TO, MTL, PAR, Israel, and so on. Should this list number in the millions? I don't really understand its purpose. From reading the comments below, it seems like maybe the list used to be called "List of Black Jews"? The name change does not seem to be a positive one. Since it is so much about people famous to Americans, maybe it should be called "List of Famous African-American Jews"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.143.139 ( talk) 14:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm completely puzzled of what is the "African diaspora" - Jewish diaspora in Africa? diaspora of Jewish communities from Africa? Greyshark09 ( talk) 15:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
User:MShabazz, I know that ancestry doesn't necessarily mean "Jew", but isn't Jewish ancestry also an option like in other lists? Infantom ( talk) 01:51, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
