    I know that just because wikipedia says it, doesn't mean it's gospel, but I always thought Herod was Jewish.

    The page doesn't exactly state that the Herodians were Jewish, but merely that they were of Edomite and Samaritan descent. They were most probably integrated into Jewish society, though.

    They weren't Jewish. That's why the Jews didn't like them all that much and why Herod tried to win over the Jews by rebuilding 'The Temple'. I used to know where the Herods were from, but it escapes me right now.
