in seymour an introduction, buddy says seymour was half-jewish(p. 131) and 
that their great-grandfather was jewish(p. 144).. so the glasses are 
half-jewish and half-catholic..
also, in 'a girl i knew', the girl he knew was jewish(i don't remember their 
names:) )

 I don't recall if any of Salinger's characters were Jewish, tho.  For
 some reason I thought the Glass family was too, but I can't recall any
