The New Black Panthers have been calling Zimmerman a Jew but is there any evidence that he is of Jewish descent? The name Zimmerman(n) is sometimes Jewish, sometimes not. This Zimmerman is a Catholic by religion. He has a brother who is a “Jr.” and his father is still alive—I believe the custom among Ashkenazi Jews is not to name a child after a living relative.
From everything I have read Zimmerman’s father is Jewish. If he is not observant in any way to Jewish customs and traditions then he would follow his mother’s religion which is Catholic.
