Well, to make a long story short, Zooey Deschanel is Jewish! she was not born Jewish, but later on converted to Judaism, which makes her Jewish.

Since Zooey Deschanel'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
