Little old on the news, we've known about Becks Yiddisher heritage for about five years here!

Good Morning! This is well known for a couple of years. David himself once spoke about his jewish grandfather... ...Nothing new.
3. Lineage
Nathan ,   Netanya   (08.04.05)
Prior references to a Jewish grandfather were to the _Paternal_ grandfather, not the mother's side of the family. As such, this actually is news. Baruch haBa Beckham!
4. but rabbis say you're not jewish if convert to christianty
mike ,   usa   (08.04.05)
...so beckham is no longer a jew. sorry. maybe he should have become a buddist, then he could still be considered "jewish".
5. he wasn't jewish in the first place
david ,   israel   (08.04.05)
because he's mother wasn't a jew.
6. We could have used him
Eyal ,   Tlv.il   (08.04.05)

7. OLD STORY
alan ,   South Africa   (08.04.05)
BECKS grandfather was Jewish.His Granma wasnt ;I am told . When he was a little boy he used to go with his Grandpa to Barmitzvahs and Jewish Weddings. He always wore his Kippah and still recognises his Jewish heritage. I know this because the Mossad told my friend Tewfiq.He told me..
8. to Alan from SA
moi ,   Tel Aviv   (08.04.05)
:)))))))))))) hahahaahahaha Yeah right the Mossad....you live in a nice movie! At least you make me love....most talkbacks are full of hatred on Ynet.... anyway who really cares if Beckham is Jewish...does that make him a nicer person? a better football player? it's really not relevant....religion, colour, race, sexual preferances...people should be more tollerant and except eachother as "human beings"...maybe then this world will be a better place...

bruce right ,   tel avjv   (08.04.05)
wrong quote from song of solomon. check king james bible.one doesn't merely retranslate the bible.accuracy, my friends. accuracy.
10. To Bruce
mitchel Schwartzbach ,   NJ, USA   (08.05.05)
To Bruce- Yes, Accuracy. "Ani L'Dodi, V' Dodi Li" is absolutely in Song of Songs. If it is also in the New Testament, it is just a copy of the original source in the original bible.
11. Goodluck in Maccabi Netanya!
