In July 2015, an article titled
“Confessions of Amy Schumer’s
Childhood Rabbi” by Rabbi Jeffrey
Salkin was published on the NY Jewish
Week website (and subsequently ran in
this paper’s Aug. 20, 2015, issue). From
1988-1995, Salkin was the rabbi of a
Long Island Reform synagogue that
Amy Schumer, now 34, and her family
belonged to. He presided over Amy’s
bat mitzvah as well as the bar mitzvah
of her older half-brother, Jason Stein.
The rabbi recalled liking the whole fam-
ily very much, including Amy’s father,
Gordon Schumer. As for Amy, he says:
“I remember [her] as a sweet, funny kid,
who often asked probing and humorous
questions in religious school.”
Regarding Sandy Schumer, Amy’s
mother, the rabbi writes: “[Sandy] was
on the temple board and chaired the
education committee.” A friend who had
also seen the article and I were a little
confused by this statement. He’s a fam-
Schumer
ily history expert and he traced Amy’s
mother’s family and found no Jewish
ancestry. Amy has at least once referred
to herself as “half Jewish” (more on
that below). I know that some Reform
temples have non-Jews on their board,
but it is still pretty rare — and wouldn’t
chair of the education committee be
an “odd fit” for a non-Jew? Well, I wrote
the rabbi, who now serves a Florida
temple as a senior rabbi, and asked him
awkward questions: “Is Sandy Schumer
a Jew-by-choice?” — and, if not, “I think
it is worth telling my readers that non-
Jews do serve on temple boards (many
of my readers, I know, don’t know this).”
The rabbi replied in one sentence:
“Sandy Schumer is Jewish.”
It’s apparent that Amy’s mother is
