ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: 8 JEWISH SOAP CHARACHTERS FOR 8 NIGHTS OF HANUKKAH

Yesterday was the first night of Hanukkah—an admittedly minor Jewish festival blown all out of proportion due to its proximity to the major American holiday of Christmas.

Jews make up only 2.2 percent of the U.S. population, so it’s no surprise that they very rarely show up on that most Middle American of art forms, the daytime soap opera.

Nevertheless, in honor of the eight nights of Hanukkah, we now present: The 8 most prominent Jewish characters in soaps (and count our blessings that there aren’t 10 nights, because we’d have had a hard time filling out the list), including representatives from GH, DOOL, Y&R, GL, RH and more at: http://community.ew.com/2014/12/16/jewish-characters-in-soap-operas/

Happy Hanukkah, and make sure you leave a comment!
