This page does not differentiate between Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist Jews. It also does not take into account whether those listed acknowledge their Jewish identity or origins. A scant few listed here may have spent their lives ignoring or even actively disguising their Jewish origins. Individuals listed may only partially be of Jewish ancestry (though that is noted). They may have never practiced Judaism, and may even have adopted another faith, or may be secular or atheist. Orthodox Judaism is the oldest form of Judaism practiced by Jews. ...

Some Jews would not agree with listing as "Jewish" someone who was not brought up Jewish, who does not adhere to Jewish beliefs or practice, and who does not identify as Jewish; however others would. For instance, traditional Rabbinic law defines a Jew as a person with a Jewish mother, where the first Jews are defined to be those who entered the covenant at Sinai, as described in the Biblical narrative, even though the person may be nonpracticing and even not acknowledge himself or herself as a Jew. Others would identify as Jewish somebody with a Jewish father only, even though by Orthodox tradition, such a person is not. This list takes the widest view to include most individuals who might be in some way considered Jewish, but attempts to note such issues in order that more restrictive definitions may be applied by the reader based on their own opinions or interpretations of the issue.
