Wow... Rachel was supposed to be a JAP? Totally missed that. Just thought she was spoiled.
They hit a lot of the classic tropes. Long Island. Nose job. Dr. Daddy. The shopaholic stuff. Life-goal to marry a Dr. That sort of thing.

Wasn't there an episode where she wouldn't eat lobster, because she was observant?

So are the "positive" Jews "stealth" Jews? Cause I watch House, and I didn't catch that he's Jewish.
In the first episode, Wilson says that he's Jewish, but only keeps Kosher when eating at his grandmother's house. It's part of the plot-line for the patient of the week.

Eventually they diagnose trichinosis.)
