"The uncanny coincidences continue: Kal-El, Superman’s given name, actually means “Voice of God” in Hebrew and, growing up, Shuster and Siegel, second-generation Jewish Americans, heard old folk tales of “flying rabbis,” although we’re pretty sure that they couldn’t fly as fast as Superman could. Unless, of course, they were late for shul."
Rabbi Simcha Wienstein, author of Up, Up, and Oy Vey! talks about Jewish themes in comics.
