I know this seems like a weird question, but I'm interested to know what you think too. I was just watching Elmo's World: Happy Holidays on DVD and there was a part where Elmo gets a video email from Telly, Baby Bear and Papa Bear. Baby Bear is helping Telly learn how to play the dradle game and he even said that Papa Bear taught him the game on his very first Hannukah. Does that make the Bear family Jewish?

Really? That's funny! I wonder if David Rudman might be Jewish too.

That's pretty cool, although what a lousy break for the Jewish faith to be represented by Baby Bear. I think it'd be cooler to celebrate with Bert Weinstein and Ernie Simmons. :smile:

Mr. Hooper was Jewish, which we all know from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. I think it's nice they're representing Jewish people in some aspect but I gotta agree, the Bear family? Yep, I'm all on board with Bert and Ernie, that'd be way cooler! :smile:

Rudman is a Jewish last name, so my guess is that, yes, David Rudman is Jewish.
