18. 14. All you painted egg people need to lighten the hell up, and I mean right now. He was a nice guy making a nice comment and you @ssholes are going out of your way to be insulted. All you idiots snarking that Jews don't understand the significance of Easter need to know that Passover is the the most important Hiliday of the years for us. Do you understand the significance of matza? Do you know that the Ladt Supper was a Passover Sedar? Incidentally, the egg is something that has significance for both Holidays. Did you know that? Reallly people. STFU! It's Christians like you that giver all of them a bad name.

PS Henry Winkler seems like the nicest guy ever.

Get over yourself, Sara. If I didn't know the "significance " of a Jewish holiday, should I just dismiss it by saying something like Dradle, Dradle. Dradle, they made it out of clay...or should I just keep quiet and say NOTHING about any of it, so as not to offend people who take their religion seriously? That's what he should of done. He's insulting Christians whether he meant or not, and whether he realizes it or not. You know how I know? It's because I'M Christian and I found his comment INSULTING.

You seem like a bit of a bitch, Sara, so the fact that you think Henry seems like the nicest guy ever doesn't really mean too much, does it? Do you think Billy Bob Thorton seems like a nice guy, too?

19. Christians- don't get mad at the Jews, because your holiday has been taken over by a large rodent who hops around leaving chocolate eggs. More people will be celebrating the arrival of the Easter Bunny than the TRUE meaning of Easter! Sad, but true.

LONG LIVE THE EASTER BEAGLE!!!

20. You losers want to be offended.

Some facts: Goyim does not mean "cattle". Rabbits are not rodents. Mentioning painting eggs and wishing everyone a happy holiday does not make someone anti-Christian. GROW UP. STOP LOOKING FOR INSULTS WHERE THERE ARE NONE. LOSERS.

21. Rabbits aren't rodents, they're lagamorphs. And as a Christian, I see nothing wrong in what Henry Winkler said. Oh, and Sara, perhaps you should do some more research into your own religion and learn that it is "seder", not "sedar". Before you try to school someone, make sure you're schooling them properly. And did you know, Sara dear, that in the Good Friday services, Catholics prayer for the Jews, who were the first to know the Lord? Catholicism doesn't ignore the Hebrew tradition, we embrace it because we COME from it.

22. Lee, now the prayer for the Jews IS offensive! They pray that Jews will accept Christ! They used to use the term "faithless Jews" and pray that we would remove the "veil from our hearts"! And some catholics want to bring this back! WHY you would bring this up as something good is beyond me!

Also, 'sedar' is acceptable considering it is a Hebrew word simply meaning 'order' and the plaural is 'sedarim'.

27. harvey levin, as a Jewish person yourself, why would you use such a crass line as "Jew Gotta Love Easter, Too.?" Let me explain your ignorance: the correct info is that his name is Henry Winkler and he is Jewish. You should not speak of anyone of any religion in those terms you did. Shows a total lack of respect, especially your own self-respect, if you have any. You should be ashamed of yourself. Believe me, it does not add to your limited readership at all and serves to offend...

28. Neither Levin nor Winkler are practicing Jews...few are these days, most just make claim to the Creed when it is of benefit to them---ala, minority status, sounds good in certain professions (banking,accounting,legal,medical)...so everyone relax, these are not the type of Jews who will fight to the death for Israel. They are however the types to cry foul about every other Creed and generally all tend to be Democrats, even though Democrats are getting queasy about support of Israel these days. Suddenly its the in thing to be in support of Palestenians...so Oy Vey...

29. What a seriously nice man. Seriously, Mr. Winkler is one of the kindest guys out there. It's so nice that he treated the camera guy with such respect and consideration.

Thank you, Henry, for renewing our faith that there ARE a few NICE celebrities out there.

30. Hey TMZ, you're use of the derogatory slur against non-Jews, "GOYUM", is duly noted. Don't suppose you have the chutzpah to slur blacks by using the "N" word, do you, and I'm sure any anti-semitic or otherwise race based comments or behaviors from celebrities would catch them hell fire on here. Hypocrites.
