Of course he was Jewish.  Son of a cantor.

I thought Buffalo, NY-bred Harold Arlen was Jewish (please correct me if
I'm wrong).  Just as a shameless plug for my adopted hometown, Buffalo
also was the hometown of Jack Yellen (helped pen Yiddishe Mama & Happy
Days are Here Again).

BTW, did you know Buffalo is the only word in the English language you
can construct an entire 5 word sentence out of--
"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."   Used as a noun (twice),
adjective (twice)  & verb (once).  How 'bout that? 

>>> So, you can understand my super excitement about Arlen whom I
totally adore (even if he wasn't Jewish).

Dear Reyzl,

Can you tell me when & where you saw the Leiber & Stoller Documenter? As
you
know, they met at what is now Hatikvah  when Jerry was working here,and
I want
to get as much into on them as possible.  How many people would believe
that
Jerry Leiber was pushing Jewish music before he co-wrote "Hound Dog". By
the
way, there was an excellent doc on Chicago Blues which included a nice
segment
on the Chess Brothers...also "nice" Jewish Boys.
