Kennedy High School and university at Queens College. He eventually quit the job and went into stand-up comedy. Unlike George, who can't stand his parents, Jerry does love his, but he still prefers them living in Florida rather than New York, so that they don't interfere with his private life.
Although born and raised Jewish, Jerry apparently doesn't practice and generally doesn't "observe" many traditions, like the real Seinfeld. As shown in " The Soup Nazi ", he does not keep kosher, as he is seen eating crab bisque.
He also has a sister mentioned in " The Chinese Restaurant " , although she is never named, and never appears on screen.

Jerry and Elaine had once dated, then had sex on some other episode, apparently a lot longer than the two date others in the series, and they usually mention that things didn't work out.
There are subtle references to the fact that it was Jerry who ended it. However, they slept together at least twice after breaking up: In " The Deal ", they create a set of rules whereby they can sleep together but remain only friends. By the end of the episode the two decide to be a couple again, which lasts at least until " The Pen " where Jerry tells his parents that "we decided that we don't work out as a couple. Despite this, Jerry and Elaine do prove that a former couple can still remain friends.
There are several other hints throughout the series that suggest that Jerry and Elaine still have feelings for each other:. Other than Elaine who he dated for 3 years the person Jerry has dated the longest is Jeannie Steinman; apparently, Jerry and Jeannie are exactly alike.
He met her in The Invitations and got engaged to her in the same episode. Soon after, Elaine goes to Mexico for the summer, coming back to discover that Jerry's relationship with Jeannie ended about a month earlier when they both screamed out "I hate you!
Jerry accounts it as "the first truly mutual breakup. Jerry's approach to relationships is notoriously fickle, and he has broken up with women, or provoked them into breaking up with him for some of the most trivial of reasons.
Jerry is also very financially successful and occupationally stable in comparison with his friends and perhaps with other standup comedians in general and never seems to be at a loss for money, in comparison to George and Elaine who go through various phases of being extremely successful more than Jerry's ever been and extremely unsuccessful also more than Jerry's ever been.
