Well, to make a long story short, J. J. Abrams is Jewish!

Since J. J. Abrams'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.

J. J. Abrams (whose full birth name is Jeffrey Jacob Abrams) was born on June 27, 1966 in New York City, New York, U.S..

He is known for writing and/or producing feature films such as Regarding Henry (1991), Forever Young (1992), Armageddon (1998), Cloverfield (2008), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).

He created or co-created a number of TV drama series, including Felicity (co-creator), Alias (creator), Lost (co-creator), and Fringe (co-creator). Abrams won two Emmy Awards for Lost.
