My father-in-law bears a more than passing resemblance to Oscar. He has an Israeli cousin, like pretty much every New York Jew I know.

Bert could be Jewish. At least, the Bert I remember. Is he still anxious and cranky?

Gonzo maybe? Not so much because of the nose but because he’s considered “different” and has a relationship with chickens that (as Grace Adler puts it) is both deep and real.

The Swedish Chef is Jewish. He HAS to be!

(And he’s by far my favourite muppet, which I’m sure has nothing to do with it)

On Rehove Soomsoom, the muppets are all Jewish except of course for the ones that are Arab...😉
