Religion/Religious Views | Saget belonged to a Jewish family. His grandparents (paternal and maternal) were Jewish emigrants from the then-Russian Empire. His paternal grandfather belonged to Riga, Latvia. Bob shared his memories of growing up in a Jewish family through an Instagram post. He wrote, "I have many fond memories of growing up Jewish. My Bube’s gefilte fish, my Bube’s chicken soup, my Bube’s mandel bread. My Bube. My father’s mother. She raised six children basically by herself. During rough financial times she would have an extra twenty people over and add breadcrumbs to whatever was being served—to feed everyone. That’s what being Jewish meant to me growing up. About being generous of heart. About our family. Yes, food was important, but it was the cultural spirit that drew me in and kept me engaged.” |
