No. He was Spanish and Catholic. Each time the hour glass was turned on the ship a prayer was said and they also had mass in the morning and evening each day. A priest was also on board the ships.

Was Christopher Columbus Jewish?

No. He was Spanish and Catholic. There was one Jewish sailor on the ship and his name was Luis de Torres. He had converted to Catholicism and was the ship's interpreter. Yet, Aug. 3, 1492 was also the day set by the king and queen as the deadline for all Jews to leave Spain. Thousands of Jews fled and it wouldn't be surprising if a few weren't on one of the ships. Another note about Columbus is that the Catholic church many years after his death declared him a candidate for sainthood. If he had been Jewish this never would have happened.
