Montana Tucker has been told she doesn’t fit the bill of what a Jew is, in multiple ways, from her last name to her blonde hair. But the 30-year-old, lifetime performer said she doesn’t let others’ doubts stop her from celebrating her Jewish culture. And now, she’s working to creatively instill in others a new pride in their Judaism. Tucker — who’s originally from Boca Raton, Florida, but now lives in Los Angeles — has been acting, modeling, singing and dancing since she was 8 years old, and in recent years rose to social media fame through her dance videos on sites like TikTok and Instagram. But amid the entertainment lifestyle, she also grew up hearing her grandparents’ stories of their experiences as Holocaust survivors.
