This is alist of notableIsraeliAshkenazi Jews,including both original immigrants who obtained Israeli citizenship and their Israeli descendants.
Although traditionally the term "Ashkenazi Jews" was used as an all-encompassing term referring to the Jews descended from the Jewish communities of Europe, due to themelting pot effect of Israeli societythe term "Ashkenazi Jews" gradually becomes more vague as many of the Israeli descendants of the Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants gradually adopted the characteristics of Israeli culture and as more descendants intermarry with descendants of other Jewish communities.
The list is ordered by category of human endeavor. Persons with significant contributions in two of these are listed in both of them, to facilitate easy lookup.
Notice: On Oct. 1, 2023, a hacker known as “Golem” claimed to have stolen DNA data from 23andMe and according, to the complaint, “As proof… published the alleged data of one million users of Jewish Ashkenazi descent.
