Morphology

Jewishly = Jewish (transparent) = Jew + ish + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly derived adjective 'Jewish' (Jew + -ish), so the manner meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Jewishly comes from Jewish, which comes from an old Hebrew name Judah meaning 'from Judah', a region and people. So, to do something Jewishly is to do it in the way of Jewish people, their culture, or their traditions.
