Well, to make a long story short, Bernard Madoff is Jewish!

Since Bernard Madoff's mother is Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father is Jewish too.

Bernard Madoff (whose full birth name is Bernard Lawrence Madoff) was born on April 29, 1938 in Queens, New York, US.

He is the former non-executive Chairman of the NASDAQ stock market, and the admitted operator of a Ponzi scheme that is considered to be the largest financial fraud in U.S. history.
