the jewish hal jordan evidence board
to make things more cohesive and more accessible, i decided to revamp my old post a bit to make this! please feel free to correct me or request to make amendments! ♡
Hal Jordan was based on an actual jewish person
source: Green Lantern (1960) #3
when john broome and gil kane reinvented GL (alan to hal), kane decided he wanted to model off hal based on his one-off neighbour paul newman. famous hollywood actor, look him up!
He celebrates Chanukah
source: Christmas With The Super-Heroes (1989) #2
He was explicitly stated as jewish once
source: The Spectre (2001) #21
Hal's favourite chanukah dish is latke
source: Green Lantern: The Animated Series (2012) #8
it can also be said from these panels that hal enjoys talking about his traditions and upbringings to friends.
His dad was catholic, but his mom was jewish
source: Justice League Darkseid War: Green Lantern (2015)
due to martin jordan's passing during hal's childhood, it is heavily implied jessica raised her children with jewish traditions and practices. but there are instances where hal would sometimes reference catholicism.
Hal wore a kippah during his father's funeral
source: Knight Terrors: Green Lantern (2023) #1
despite knight terrors' entire plot is based around hallucinations of one's worst fears, he was still explicitly drawn to wear a kippah in his delusion of his father's funeral. and no, no it's not a bald spot.
BONUS! Green Lantern as a whole is heavy on judaism references

Hi I’m obsessed with the reverse time travel AU what if Jon got like a big eye painting for Elias to “spy” on him out of but then they just take turns making the most horrendous poses and or putting up the absolute worst art in front of it just to annoy him.
And every now and again Jon uses his Favorite-Kid privileges to have the Eye make Elias look. Just to be sure he can’t escape
Idk just an idea I had lol. Love your comics!
they just print out and tape random cursed images to it.
sorry for the absolute shit quality. it was so the random realistic eye would be funnier.
