Obviously the name change is on his father's side of the family so if Kerry's MOTHER was not Jewish then it doesn't matter about his Jewish heritage simply because in Judaism you are only considered to be Jewish if your mother was Jewish. It could go far back to your grandma, great grandma, and so on....but if your mother was not Jewish then neither are you no matter how you were raised. I'm not saying that a person can't be raised Jewish or even convert to Judaism. That involves a whole other thread to even get into.
But in terms of Kerry's Jewish heritage he really doesn't have one in the eyes of what I know about Judaism if his mother wasn't Jewish. I'm assuming she was not since his father wasn't raised to be Jewish.
