It's not just Jewish boys. Though I'm sure the author didn't want us to
delve so deeply into this subject, many boys nowadays are circumcized for
medical purposes (ie Less risk of infection, etc.). So, it could be that
Akari is making the assumption that he is Jewish based on the facts that he
won't eat pork (which is really because he turns into a pig) and that he is
circumcised (which could be because, in this day and age, many non-Jewish
boys are circumcized at birth). But, my best guess is that the author was
just playing on a bad joke and didn't expect this kind of reaction. ^^

What he's refering to is that he makes Ryoga out to be Jewish, and
a
Which, to be quite blunt, is probably one of the most insane
assumptions I've ever seen made in any item of fanfiction.
First of all, remember that we're dealing with a Japanese family
here. The likelihood of a Japanese family being Jewish is far, far
less than the likelihood of a Japanese family being Christian, and
even that is quite low.
Secondly, there is a very, very simple reason why Ryouga doesn't eat
pork. HE TURNS INTO A PIG WHEN DOUSED WITH COLD WATER! If *you* spent
at least a third of your life as a particular animal, would you eat
the flesh of same animal? Highly unlikely.
Not intending to flame here, just offering some honest criticism. I
can appreciate the overwhelming desire to play on a bad joke, but
take things like this into consideration first...
