    I have got one for you to check.
    He is "Eric Sitruk". He plays in Brest, french league 2.
    I suggest him because he has got a typical jewish tunisian name. Also, he was born in Bondy, in the parisian suburban where there are a lot of jewish families. I don't have real proof but Sitruk is inevitably a jewish name.

    Here is an updated list. Please see if I missed something. Remember, being on the list does not mean a player is Jewish according to Jewish law or practices Judaism, it simply means that they are of Jewish ancestry (at least one Jewish grandparent) and would qualify for Israeli citizenship and not count as a foreigner for Israeli clubs and possibly even contend for a spot on the national team.

    it´s just a posibility..he have a sefardic lastname...

    Another jew on the mexican league was the retired goalkeeper Issac Mizrahi.

    Maybe Francisco Torres Mezzell, midfielder of Pachuca FC

    And about Jonathan Bornstein,you wouldn't know it from his name: Bornstein is Jewish on his father's side. But his mother is a catholic Mexican

    Welcome to BigSoccer.com BenSahar. Can you confirm whether or not Joakim Askling is American and whether Israelson is still a Djurgårdens youth player?

    Also, if you can confirm any squad players from the Maccabiah for Sweden that play with professional/semi-professional Swedish clubs.

    from Wikipedia


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_27Levi Schwiebbe

    Does anyone know if this player is Jewish? - Levis is a Jewish (or at least Biblical) name, and Schwiebbe sounds quite Yiddish to me...GiantSnowman 00:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
    Does it matter? DeMoN2009 15:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Not particularly, it's just that if he is then he can be added to the relevant Jewish footballer categories. GiantSnowman 16:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC) In an interview with De Weekkrant, he has said that he is a Roman Catholic and that he and his brothers were named after Biblical figures. AFAIK there are currently two Dutch Jewish footballers: Samuel Scheimann and Daniël de Ridder. Aecis·(away) talk 16:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

    Thank you very much :). Joakim maybe have some American ancestry but he is definitely Swedish first. I think Jonathan has stopped playing for Djurgården and is now playing for IK Makkabi Stockholm, a 6th division team, together with Eric Fishbein.

    I think there is a guy who's called Jonah Lederman who plays or used to play for Djurgårens youth but he maye now plays for makkabi. But I'll keep my eyes open
    I like any Israeli team that doesn't start with Hapoel lol ;) Yes of course, I will save those delicious palestinian kidneys for Pesach! Thanks for the welcome!
