Is Steve Jobs Jewish?
I always though so just by looking at his facial features. I have a nose for these things and always found his mannerisms so familiar. So what does Wikipedia say:
"Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco to American Joanne Carole Schieble and Syrian Abdulfattah John Jandali, a graduate student who later became a political science professor. One week after birth, Jobs was put up for adoption by his unmarried mother, who was also in graduate school. He was adopted by Paul and Clara (née Hagopian) Jobs of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California. They gave him the name Steven Paul Jobs. His biological parents later married and gave birth to Jobs' sister, the novelist Mona Simpson, whom Jobs did not meet until they were adults."
So he was raised by an Armenian mother. The cursory search reveals a matter of fact statements that Joanne Carole Schieble was biologically Jewish. Hence the Jewish themes in the writings of his biological sister Mona Simpson (quote with caution, this is very unscientific, somebody should ask Jobs).
