"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" is the twenty-second and final episode of the third season of the American animated series Family Guy, and the 50th episode overall. The episode was intended to air on Fox in 2000, but Fox's executives expressed concern due to the content's potential to be interpreted as anti-Semitic, and did not allow it to air on television that year.[1] The episode originally aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on November 9, 2003, and on Fox on December 10, 2004.[1] In the episode, Peter prays for a Jew to help him with his financial woes. After befriending Jewish accountant Max Weinstein and discovering the wonders of their religion, Peter gets the idea of converting Chris to Judaism so he will be successful in life. Lois attempts to stop him, believing that success is not based on religion.

"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" was written by Ricky Blitt and directed by Dan Povenmire. This episode features guest performances from Andrea Beutener, Mark Hamill, Phil LaMarr, Ed McMahon, Peter Riegert, Mary Scheer, Ben Stein, and Nicole Sullivan.
