A compilation of Jewish Names That comprises over 18,000 of ‘illustrious people’, some more some less.
People that lived, learned, worked, strived and created in one way or another.
Note:
The names of the ‘celebrities’ were collected from books, newspapers, journals and articles
about Jews, no name was vainly added nor surreptitiously detracted. If someone was not
included (and there may be many), the compiler was probably not aware of him or her.

Some 2300 of them appear on ...philatelic matter, marked by • .The compiler chose the person
objectively from the literatures by his own subjective evaluation of ‘importance’.
