Sarah Palin is of Lithuanian Jewish heritage
Sarah Palin's mother (Sally Sheigam) was of Lithuanian Jewish heritage
and so were both of her mother's parents (Louise Sheigam and Shmuel
Sheigam). Her father Chuck Heath can also be considered of Jewish
blood because his mother, Beatrice Coleman, was of Jewish decent.
Palin's Maternal Grandfather And Grandmother
Her maternal grandfather, Schmuel Sheigam, was a Lithuanian Jew, born
in 1912 in Vilkaviskis, Lithuania. The Sheigams: The grandmother was a
Jewess named Gower. The names are altered. At Ellis Island Immigration
Centre, the name was entered as Sheeran, a standard practice when
immigration officers were unable to understand the pronunciation of
non-English
speaking immigrants. They are buried in the Jewish cemetery at Budezeriai.
Further information on Governor Palin's ancestors can easily be found in
the
vital records in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius.

The Archives holds birth, marriage, divorce, and death records for the Lithuanian Jewish community from 1851 until 1915 when the Jews were required to leave the country because of World War I. They are in 18th Century Cyrillic script and Yiddish. Many of these records include the mother's maiden name and town of registration.
Palin has three flags in her office: the flag of Alaska,the flag of
the United States,and the flag of Israel. Two of Palin's prominent Alaska
Jewish allies, Rabbi Joseph Greenberg and businessman Terry Gorlick,
told Politico they consider her a friend of the Jews.
In addition, when she ran for governor, the Republican Jewish
Coalition Executive Director Matt Brooks issued the following statement:
By
choosing Governor Sarah Palin as the vice-presidential candidate, John
McCain once again demonstrates good judgment and a commitment to
challenging politics-as-usual. As governor of Alaska, Palin has
enjoyed a strong working relationship with Alaska's Jewish community..
