I don't know if he himself is Jewish, but his roots are. He's done a lot of radical Jewish culture music following the album Kristallnacht. I couldn't find anything on his religion, but to no avail. Maybe his Christmas album last year can be evidence that he is secular and appreciates the music that religions use? Just a guess. I do think that he is Jewish, though.
