I read somewhere that every Jew now living, is a descendant of Judah, the son of Jacob (in Genesis). Is that true?

Not sure what you mean.

Jews are (mostly) endogamous, so there is an almost certainty that any identifiable Jew by birth today would carry DNA from Judah, and back to Abraham too.

If you mean only from the tribe of Judah, no.

No. They're all descended through Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, but start branching out through the 12 sons of Jacob.
