In Memory of Robin Williams: A True Friend of the Jewish People
âIâm an honorary Jew.â â Robin Williams
Though not Jewish by birth, Robin Williams had a deep love for Jewish culture. He frequently referred to himself as an âhonorary Jewâ, incorporating Yiddish expressions, Jewish humor, and cultural references into his performances. His connection went beyond comedy. Williams brought Jewish stories to life, portraying Jewish characters in films like âJakob the Liarâ, showing his deep respect for Jewish history and narratives. In 2008, he publicly celebrated Israelâs 60th Independence Day, joining other celebrities in Times Square to extend his support for the Jewish state. He used humor to build bridges, spread compassion, and bring people together. We miss you Robin.
Am Yisrael Chai!
