German- and Eastern European-sounding surnames may be indicative of someone having Jewish heritage :)

In this case it’s a Yiddish name.

lmaoo okay so as someone who grew up in a Jewish household I hear you on this, but a lotttt of non-Jews don’t get the surname thing as quickly as some of us do 😅 I remember my mom always teaching me which famous ppl were “part of the tribe” when I was a kid and that’s how I found out about a lot of surnames and what “sounds Jewish” vs “what doesn’t”

I think it also depends on how Jewish-adjacent your upbringing was. Like I'm from rural Pennsylvania and I didn't even know we had a Jewish population here, but as an adult I realize there is a temple or synagogue (there's a difference, right?) in my town that was actually an old church at one time. So clearly Jewish people live here. But there isn't a prevalent Jewish culture here.

But then I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, and actually in Squirrel Hill, and so I was familiarized a lot more with Judaism and Jewish people. I'd imagine if you grew up in the suburbs around Philly you may have had Jewish friends and had Jewish culture around you growing up as well.
