There's also a bit in a later season where Marissa tries to get him to come to Israel to work on the campaign of an anti-Likud candidate. But if he ''is'' Jewish, he's clearly a very secular one.
Added DiffLines:
* CulturallyReligious: He's an ethnic Jew and Marissa once even tries to get him to move to Israel to work on the campaign of an anti-Likud political candidate. However, he's never indicated to actually practice Judaism as a religion.
