As far as I know nobody really knows for certain the nationality of
Columbus. As for him being Jewish I know of no convincing argument. I
think Wiesenthal wrote a book about it (read it many years ago) where he
made the case. I remember that I was not convinced. The evidence was too
fragile to conclude that he was Jewish - that's how I remember it anyways.

Brachot,
