Well, to make a long story short, Jesse Eisenberg is Jewish!

Since Jesse Eisenberg'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.

Jesse Eisenberg (whose full birth name is Jesse Adam Eisenberg) was born on October 5, 1983 in Queens, New York.

He is best known for playing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (2010), for which he received a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination in the Best Actor category.
