Lehava, a Israeli organization, has publically called for supermodel Bar Refaeli to dump her boyfriend, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and marry a nice Jewish man instead. The organization also sent a letter to Refaei’s mother. How inappropriate!
Carrie Sloan over at AOL’s Lemondrop recently posted a open letter to model Bar Refaeli, urging her not to dump Leo:
Dear Bar,
I know we don’t know each other. And I can’t say I know Leo well either. I saw him once on a street corner in New York, and he’s really cute, but not really my type. To each her own. Or so I wish.
Thing is, since the whole world is weighing in on whether the two of you should get married, I thought I’d wish you well … and say this: I think you can live happily ever after, even if you’re Jewish and he’s not. And I speak from experience.
I admit, my jaw hit the ground when I read about Lehava yesterday: An entire Jewish organization dedicated to breaking up relationships like yours!? And, well, mine. Before we go any further, I should tell you that I’m a non-Jewish girl married to a Jewish guy.
And even without an entire league of crazies pitted against us — sending my mom threatening letters about why we should end it, like they did yours — it hasn’t always been easy being an outsider who married in.
The thing is, it’s hard to find love. Maybe especially if you’re a supermodel. I mean, I don’t really know what that’s like, but I can see how being one of the most beautiful women on Earth could make you wonder: Does he really love me for my sense of humor!?
I’ve had to have a healthy one while dating, then marrying, Adam. Being an interfaith couple isn’t for the faint of heart: Even if everything’s cool between the two of you, the world has a way of inserting its beliefs in your relationship. As you know.

The organization did what it is supposed to do-the family could have ignored it if it had not become public. They fear loosing more Jews to other faiths, particulary since the holocaust. They have no power and are not a hate group.
Thankfully their purpose is not a usual one anymore.
People, Jewish houses of worship and organizations now know to work with the couples and their families so that the children are more and more being Jewish rather then non-Jewish as in the past when people had nothing to do with them.

After reading your statement I am so happy not all jews think like you people.

The organization could have suggested that she introduce Leonardo di Caprio to the Jewish Faith. He may like it.

PEOPLE CAN LATER DECIDE THAT SPIRITUAL ISSUES ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE SINGLE. THAT’S WHERE MOST OF THE FUTURE PROBLEMS COME IN. BUT, GEEZZ DON’T MOST SUPERMODELS POSE NEARLY NUDE? I DON’T THINK HER JEWISH MORALS ARE LIKELY TO BE IN ANY NEW PERIL… REALLY…

You got to love these articles. First off if she’s Jewish and has kids then according to Jewish law her kids are Jewish. His conversion should he choose to do so would be a waste of time since according to Jewish law you can’t convert simply for the purpose of marriage. Of course you can always go for a reformed or conservative conversion in which case you can do almost anything. Considering she’s not a religious Jew the whole idea makes little difference.

At this time it seems like Drupal is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field. Good blog!
