WATCH: Family Guy turns Family Goy as Lois discovers her Jewish roots
By The Jewish Journal
Tags: Family Guy, Israel News 

Lois Griffin - a Jew?

Well, the "Family Guy" turned "Family Goy" for its second episode on Monday, with Peter ready to convert and Stewie in payot and a kippah reciting a "L'hadlik Ner" blessing during a Passover seder.



The Jewish plotline begins when a breast cancer scare leads Lois (voiced by Jewish actress Alex Borstein) to discover that her mother, Barbara Pewterschmidt, is a Holocaust survivor who gave up her Judaism to help her husband get into country clubs "It was the right thing to do, dear," Mrs. Pewterschmidt says).

"So Grandma Hebrewberg is actually Jewish?!" Lois asks.

"Yes, when she moved to America, her family changed their name. It was originally Hebrewbergmoneygrabber," her mother says.
