Mr. Hooper is Jewish, according to Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. In true Sesame Street fashion, his religion was irrelevant to all other plots, as characters' differences are generally irrelevant to plot. However, his heritage was suggested in an episode in which Big Bird enquires about the languages that various members of the community can speak. Mr. Hooper reveals that he was taught to read, write and speak Yiddish at after-school religious instruction.
