Whoopi Goldberg: I'm Jewish and I talk to GodโShe's black, she played a nun and her dad was a preacher. But Whoopi insists: I'm a real Goldberg
*"Speaking this week at a charity event in London, the Oscar-winning actress said: "I just know I am Jewish. I practise nothing. I don't go to temple, but I do remember the holidays. Religion is a lot of work, it's exhausting. So I keep it simple, I have a pretty good relationship with God. We talk.'""*
*"She refused to be drawn on the exact origins of the name, but added: "My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name, it's part of my family, part of my heritage. Just like being black." One story suggests that her mother, Emma Johnson, thought that the family's original surname was "not Jewish enough" for her daughter to become a star."* - *<https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/whoopi-goldberg-i-m-jewish-and-i-talk-to-god-1.23000>*
