Reality TV personality Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi revealed in a promotion for her new show “Snooki and JWOWW” that she doesn’t know the difference between kosher and organic food.

The Chilean born, Italian-American, who became a celebrity after the hit debut of MTV’s Jersey Shore in 2009, told her mother, “I think kosher food is like organic , healthy food. But Jewish people eat organic food too, so I feel like it’s all the same.”

The comment was sparked by a conversation about Jennifer Farley, (or JWOWW) who is set to star with Snooki in the new MTV program.

The comment comes in a long line of embarrassing gaffes for the strangely endearing yet iconic reality star. Despite being a best-selling author of three books, Snooki revealed in a Jimmy Kimmel interview last October that she doesn’t know who the likes of J.K. Rowling and Maya Angelou are. After Kimmel referenced Rowling – the billionaire author of the Harry Potter book series - Snooki said “I don’t know who that is, but I’m here.”

Apparently, she is also unaware of her considerable finances, notwithstanding the $150,000 paycheck she receives per episode of Jersey Shore. In an interview with The New York Times, Snooki’s father Andy Polizzi admitted that he takes care of his daughter’s finances, about which Snooki has “not a clue.”

A video of Snooki’s conversation can be found here.

This story is neither newsworthy not comment worthy.

And she’s being allowed to procreate? Good G-d why? She’s disgusting, but so is the American public. Why she should be paid–at all, let alone so much– to be a drunken orange idiot is beyond me. Let’s pay people who are…not freaks like her and represent a better side of America.

was it necessary to report this? really… with all the damn Jew hate,,,, you are upset because Snooki doesn’t know about kosher food. Frankly I’m happy she has no bad opinions about us… what with all the ConAgra lawsuits and all.

The Marx Brothers and Jewish Identity

JNS.org - The sons of Jewish immigrants from Germany and France, the Marx Brothers became zany masters of stage and screen who continue to captivate audiences. But in addition to providing comic relief, their films captured the drama of the entry of their marginalized religion into the U.S. Wayne Koestenbaum, author of the 2012 book The Anatomy of Harpo Marx, explains that the Marx Brothers’ Jewishness as a family “was evident, marked, thoroughly legible.” “Within a family already marked as Jewish within [...]

SuperJew

For my shekels, the question of whether the comic book character Superman, is Jewish or not shouldn’t even be questioned. Born and named Kal-El by his father Jor-El, “El” is one of the ancient names for God used throughout the bible and found in great prophets such as Samue-el, Dani-el and angels Micha-el and Gavri-el and of course, Isra-el. As Simcha Weinstein in his entertaining book, “Up, Up And Oy Vey” points out, “Kal” is the root of several Hebrew [...]

JNS.org – “If you’re sick, move away. Have some consideration for others,” a red army soldier scolds a slow-moving old man selling train tickets. “No, fires back the old man, proud, haughty, not realizing it’s a new country, a Bolshevik country where force heads the list instead of civility,” reads the following line in Ben G. Frank’s new novel, Klara’s Journey, released June 1. Reminiscent of Boris Pasternak’s Dr. Zhivago—whose backdrop is also a train ride across the Russian frontier during the [...]
