Since Elizabeth Banks's mother is not 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 her not Jewish (though once again, she was converted to Judaism, which makes her Jewish) . Though she is Jewish, Her father is not Jewish
