Natalie Portman? Too obvious. Alicia Silverstone? Too passé. Shiri Appleby? Too low budge. If you really want to support attractive Jewish starlets and maintain your indie cred at the same time, turn to Isla Fisher. The gorgeous red-headed Aussie appeared for three years on the long-running Australian Soap Opera Home and Away. Finally, in 2005, Fisher graced American screens in Wedding Crashers and achieved instant adoration from male fans.
So why do Jewish Young Adults love her? First, she is engaged to one of our favorite Jews, none other than Borat and Ali G impersonator Sasha Baron Cohen. Secondly, she just had a child with him. But more important than all of this, Isla Fisher spent a full three years studying the faith and converted before the child was born, insuring that Sasha’s seed was not wasted! Mazel Tov!
Cheers to Isla, may your conversation be the tipping point for other hotties becoming Members of the Tribe.
that picture makes her look like rachel bilson (also jewish) but with red hair.
Sorry to annouce you it, but she is not jewish, at least before 2002 she was not.

True, but that doesn’t mean Jewish Young Adults don’t like her!
Is Lauren saying that converts aren’t Jewish?
Oy Vey!
In the last line… conversion*
“Sasha’s seed was not wasted”? C’mon, that’s tacky.
