It happened with a single word\/punchline: &#8220;Shalom.&#8221; Puck&#8217;s Jewish heritage could have receded into the background, but this  week, the football star continues to assert\/exploit his Jewish identity by singing a musical number that he calls his &#8220;personal tribute to a musical Jewish icon.&#8221;Knowing only that piece of information, who do you think will it be? Barbra Streisand? Bob Dylan? Matisyahu? Guess who? If you&#8217;re not afraid of spoilers, watch the clip. But if you hate spoilers, maybe pass on it until after &#8220;Glee&#8221; airs tonight at 9pm on FOX: we think you&#8217;ll agree that there&#8217;s more going on in the scene than just a musical tribute: <embed src=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f8\/1545148137\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"
