Just call him Shaquille O'Nealberg ... because last night at BOA Steakhouse in Hollywood, the 7'1" superstar became the biggest man on the planet to speak Hebrew!
Shaq's Hebrew session comes just days after New York Knicks superstar Amar'e Stoudemire revealed that he might be Jewish ... and two weeks after Jewish-born Jeremy Piven hit one of the greatest trick shots of all time.
As far as Shaq's Hebrew message -- let's just say he wished everyone a very happy 5771.

Ahhemmmm. No one is BORN Jewish. They are RAISED in the Jewish faith. I'm Catholic, and as much as I've been told I was born in Chicago and not Catholic City.
Why is it that Jews always go around saying I'm Jewish if you ask their heritage? It's their RELIGION.
Religion is not a HERITAGE.
Good Lord. Move on already, no one is impressed. Just look at the number of posts!

@Joe: Yes, children born to a Jewish mother are born Jews. They don't have to be raised in an observant home to be Jews. Born a Jew, always a Jew. Definition of being born a Jew: Born to a halachically Jewish mother. Judaism is not a religion, it's truth. L'Shana Tova Shaq!

Would have loved it if you would have met Hitler and you could have told him your shpeel. Their would have not been a holocaust since Judaism is a religion. RIGHT?!
"The Jew has always been a people with definite racial characteristics and never a religion".

Very nice and respectful! Now, if someone would only take a few minutes to teach him pronounciation! Joe, in Judaisim,you ARE born Jewish. It is more than just a religion, it is a way of life steeped deep in tradition, some of which has little to do with with the teachings of G-d. You're already on the internet, look it up so you don't have to make any more ignorant statements. = )

comment number 4 uhh...... i think i too smell a neo nazi.
but that's kinda what this show is doing, and so is shaq, he's mimicking Amar'e about finding his HERITAGE.
That's another thing number four if being jewish isn't heritage why did hitler prosecute people that didn't practice judaism, and were only born to jewish families???
I"m just all over the place and very insulted.
