The Jewish Jordan

UCLA point guard Jordan Farmar is a hero the Jewish community.
Farmar was born on November 30, 1986 in Los Angeles to Damon Farmar, a minor league baseball player and his Jewish wife Mindy. The couple divorced in 1988, two-year-old Jordan remained with his mother, who married an Israeli immigrant named Yehuda Kolani who adopted Jordan. His stepfather raised Farmar in a Jewish home, took him to Israel and sponsored his Temple Judea bar mitzvah. Farmar doesn’t consider himself observant, but identifies himself as part of the Jewish people.
“That is part of me, of who I am,” said the 2004 Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame High School Athlete of the Year.
The bigger question: is Farmar black? The answer is yes, his father is black.
