Culinary Conversion
Her conversion to Judaism complete, Australian-born actress Isla Fisher is set to marry “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen next year in a Jewish ceremony.
Though it is unclear under whose auspices the conversion was performed, a friend of the couple told Us Weekly that the bride “has studied Hebrew and learned to cook traditional recipes.”
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
