Jake Paul, a social media star and professional boxer, publicly stated that he was Jewish and recently celebrated his bar mitzvah. This became known thanks to the tweet of the Hasidid HABAD Yossi Farro, an influential person on social networks, known for putting tfillin on celebrities."Yes, it's true that @jakepaul is a Jew! And we just celebrated his bar mitzvah!" Farro wrote in X. 27-year-old Paul responded to the post, confirming his Jewish identity: "Yes, I am a Jew," he wrote to millions of his followers in X.

Recently, Paul found out that his maternal grandmother was Jewish, which made him a Jew under Jewish law. To honor his legacy, he celebrated the bar mitzvah ceremony organized by Farro. At the same time, Paul put on tfillin for the first time.

Paul's Jewish origin was mentioned in the JTA report of November 2024. It described in detail a 2016 YouTube video in which Paul's mother, Pamela, told his brother Logan that their family had Jewish roots. "You have a little bit of Jews," she said, explaining that their great-grandmother, Lilian Meredith (Baxbaum), was Jewish. Genealogical records indicate that the Baxbaum family emigrated from Germany and settled in Massachusetts, where Father Lilian is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Boston.

In addition to accepting his Jewish identity, Paul also openly declared his support for Israel. During the massacre in October 2023, he strongly condemned the attacks on Israeli civilians. He published a message on social networks: "Cowds kill civilians".
