To give some examples:

The article on Steven Spielberg says in the section on his films that his
own Jewish descent has been a factor in the critical reception of his work.

The one on Woody Allen says in the lead that his work presents a caricature
of the intellectual New York Jew, and says in the biography that he is
descended from German-speaking Russian-Austrian Jews.

The one on Ed Miliband says under "Family" that his parents were Polish
Jews who fled from Belgium during the second World War.

The one on Jeff Goldblum mentions that he is from a Jewish Orthodox family,
and played a Jewish character in one of his films.

These are the only mentions of the word juif/juive (Jew/Jewish) on the
respective pages. No categories and no infobox statements about Jewishness.
