Ella Emhoff isn’t Jewish (and she doesn’t want to talk about it.
…..And so when I was putting together the Forward 50, I chose Ella rather than her dad, the now-official “Second Mensch,” for our list of intriguing and influential American Jews.
We knew it’d be a longshot to get the increasingly in-demand — and also still enrolled in college — Ella to join one of our Zoomversations with members of the Forward 50. But when the polite decline came, the reason threw me. “Ella is not Jewish,” wrote Joseph David Viola, the spokesman Ella’s Instagram refers queries to.
This only made me more intrigued, so I asked one of our reporters, Irene Katz Connelly — who is herself part of a mixed family and has written several of our stories about the Emhoffs as well as Biden’s Jewish in-laws — to follow up. I wanted to know why Ella didn’t embrace her dad’s Judaism, whether she identified with any religion, what holidays they celebrated and how, why she and her brother, Cole, had embraced a Yiddishism in creating “Momala.” Could we get an interview?

Some are, some aren’t. Depends on the kid. What a stupid question… and thread
No, man. I got a cousin whose daughter is like that. Whatcha gonna do?
if this was a thread about one of trumps kids you would have a whole different take on this...
Badly damaged child. But it's understandable when the you think about the things she saw: Dad impregnated the housekeeper busting up the marriage. Then Dad marrying an opportunistic morally bankrupt woman.
She's clearly a very troubled young woman.
