Trevor Noah, 37, was raised in a Christian home.
In his memoir, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, Noah dissects growing up in a devout Christian home with his mother but fell into an identity crisis when she converted to Judaism.
Noah dished in the book that his mother threw him a bar mitzvah party when he was 13-years-old but that no one really showed up because they did not know what the celebration entailed.
He wrote: “I only had black friends — no one knows what the hell you’re doing. So it was just me and my mom and she’s celebrating and she’s reading things to me in Hebrew.”
Despite his mother’s religious change, Noah reportedly observes Christianity and identifies with the faith.
