Well, to make a long story short, Judge Judy is Jewish!

Since Judge Judy'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 her Jewish. Her father is Jewish too.

Judge Judy (whose full birth name is Judith Susan Blum) was born on October 21, 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, U.S..

Since 1996, Sheindlin has presided over her own successful Daytime Emmy Award winning reality courtroom series named after her, Judge Judy.
