Ask KR he claims he has it down to a science

---

Also, he has "Jewish" ancestors.

Ashkenazi? Shephardim? Converts?
How many?
What percentage?

I don't know, I doubt the information is out there.

Purely ethnic Jews are quite distinct from Whites, morphologically and genetically. Perhaps the morphological differences are harder to spot for some people, but the genetics is there.

Efron Name Meaning and History
Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): ornamental name, taken from the Biblical place name Efron, a mountain mentioned in Joshua 15:9 and a Benjaminite city mentioned in 2 Chronicles 13:19, or from the identical Biblical personal name, mentioned in Genesis 25:9.

And Zac is for Zachary. Seems pretty jewish as you can go.

I guess during Nazi times he could have changed his name and passed for aryan without problems.

I don't think Zachary is Jewish. My cousin is named that - and not Jewish.

Usual English form of ZACHARIAS. This form has been in use since the Middle Ages, though it did not become common until after the Protestant Reformation. It was borne by American military commander and president Zachary Taylor (1784-1850).

---

It may have Bibilical Hebrew roots but it's used by non-Jews all the time.

And in "Nazi times" you had to prove you had Aryan ancestry, I think called "Nachweise," and they allowed people with small amounts of Jewish ancestry to have the title.

Again, we don't know how ethnically Jewish he is.

---

You just dont know. Just because his FACE looks differnt DOES NOT MEAN his GENES are very different

its funny you are not willing to accept that he MIGHT be fully Jewish or half-jewish

---

I don't think Zachary is Jewish.

---

---

The boy's name Zachary \z(a)-cha-ry\ is pronounced ZAK-a-ree. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "the Lord recalled".

---

Its really funny you have trouble with accepting the guy maybe as jewish as Paul Newman.

---

It may have Bibilical Hebrew roots but it's used by non-Jews all the time.

---

But the last name is pretty explicit
Efron is definitely Jewish

His gradparents were practising Jews.

I guess so long as he didn't advertise his jewishness then nazis would have let him go free.

And I won't accept he's fully or half? Why did I say "Perhaps his dad was fully ethnic Jewish."
That would be 1/2.

think again

The boy's name Zachary \z(a)-cha-ry\ is pronounced ZAK-a-ree. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "the Lord recalled". It is of Hebrew origin but the name itself isn't Jewish. THe Name Zachary is Anglo, and it comes from Zekharyah which is Jewish.

Its really funny you have trouble with accepting the guy maybe as jewish as Paul Newman.Where did I say such?

Sure so is Joshua and Nathan.I know this. So is David, which is the name of David Duke. Is he Jewish? Hardly.
A first name isn't a good indication of Jewish ancestry for Zac Efron.

[quote[But the last name is pretty explicit

http://www.juf.org/tweens/celebrity.aspx?id=11018Yet we must keep in mind sometimees a Jew is just someone with a Jewish ancestor.
We don't know what kind of Jew, and how ethnically Jewish they actually are.

So if they had grandparents who were practising Judaism then they could be aryans? Cool...

I guess so long as he didn't advertise his jewishness then nazis would have let him go free.   If there was no evidence of Jewish ancestry they would be Aryan by German law.
If partially Jewish, they weren't Aryan by NSDAP definition but they could marry Aryans.

Marriage of quarter Jews and pure Aryans was zulassig, or allowed, by Nuremberg laws.

Again, being Jewish can mean a lot of things.

Its funny how quick you were to claim Paul Newman was Jewish but you are putting doubts into zac's ortigin.

Obviously the face means everything to you...

Zachary is much less common than David. But first name + last name does add up.

I knew Efron was Jewish before this thread, and I have known he didn't look quite as Jewish as others, like Newman for instance. Then again, Newman doesn't look quite as ethnically Jewish as other 1/2 Jews.

When was I ever talking about Newman?

---

---

I do not doubt that Efron is Jewish, but I is he.

---

---

I knew Efron was Jewish before this thread

---

---

Why didn't you wonder how much Newman was  ethnically Jewish? You were totally positive that he was part jewish.

---

---

didn't sound like it. Sounded you doubted the fact and kept arguing against him being Jewish.

---

Remember, in my first post I said he didn't look Jewish. I didn't say the OP was wrong.
My next post had "Also, he has "Jewish" ancestors.

Which shows I never argued against him being Jewish.
