Funny when I think of great Americans who happen to be Jewish, the first that pop into my mind are Jonas Salk and Hyman Rickover.
Maybe Robert Oppenheimer, but I didn’t like his politics.
And Levi Strauss, just because nothing is more American than blue jeans.
Then there was Dolly Strauss, his widow. She got a whole play and a movie after her, and got to have Barbara Streisand play her, back when she was just an awesome singer, before she opened her mouth and started talking.
