Carrie fisher was Jewish. She was a strong badass powerful Jewish woman. Rest In Peace space mom.
according to Wikipedia
“Fisher described herself as an “enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God”.[69] She was raised Protestant,[7] but often attended Jewish services, the faith of her father, with Orthodox friends.[70]”
So, unless Judaism became patrilineal when I wasn’t looking…
yeah it did actually, we all got together & changed it just so that you specifically would look like an asshole
Also tho like Jewish ethnicity actually can be patrilineal. Like I know she never followed the religion but she was a half ethnically Jewish person.
Yeah exactly. She considered herself half Jewish so as far as I’m concerned she’s one of us.
yes you can be ethnically jewish but religiously other. it’s possible. she has dual lineage as well
[Fisher] says she has early memories of her father singing in synagogue, something that had “a big effect” on her. Today, as a single mother, she and her 16-year-old daughter often attend Friday night services and Shabbat meals with Orthodox friends.
“There’s such a loveliness to lighting candles and saying what you’re grateful for that week. It’s beautiful.”
Ever the artist, when asked about Judaism, she starts singing “Hearts and Bones,” a song her ex Paul Simon wrote for her back in 1983.
The lyrics read in part: “One and one-half wandering Jews/Free to wander wherever they choose.”
