Well, to make a long story short, Larry David is Jewish!

Since Larry David'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.

Larry David (whose full birth name is Lawrence Gene ''Larry'' David) was born on July 2, 1947 in Brooklyn, New York, U.S..

He is best known as the head writer and executive producer of the television series Seinfeld, from 1989 to 1998, and as its co-creator, with Jerry Seinfeld. David has subsequently gained further recognition for the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, also created by David, in which he stars as a semi-fictionalized version of himself.
