Well, to make a long story short, Henry Kissinger is Jewish!

Since Henry Kissinger's mother is Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father is Jewish too.

Henry Kissinger (whose full birth name is Heinz Alfred Kissinger) was born on May 27, 1923 in F?rth, Bavaria, Germany.

A recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, he served as National Security Adviser and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
