Agatha meets Hezekiah Donowitz on his way to Theo's room, where Gil is holding forth about his time at university in Paris, now that he has been reunited with his friends and some misunderstandings clarified. Hezekiah had likely been friends with Gil before he left, when nobody knew who he was in the larger sense of things. Given the yarmulke and his general appearance, Hezekiah is presumably Jewish. Since few other characters have any overt signs of religious affiliation, one may wonder if he is only culturally Jewish or if most characters simply do not practice any religion in particular.
