1. More To Love
Michele ,   Royal Oak , MI   (09.16.09)
I watched this show on and off and just caught up on the finale last night. Im glad that Tali was chosen. She appears to be a strong, vibrant, beautiful woman. The best of luck to them both
2. the father is right Tali should be concerned too
(09.16.09)
3. It won't last...unless one of them converts!
and we know it will ,   be him! :)   (09.16.09)
4. Glad Israeli won, but she should have reservations too
Shuki ,   NYC   (09.16.09)
I'm glad that the Israeli won the reality show, but this is just another example of a serious epidemic within the American Jewish community. Intermarriage is destroying us from within - do you think that Tali and Conley will raise strong Jewish children? In Israel it's not so much a problem since almost everybody is Jewish. However, in America where we are a significant minority, this is very dangerous.
5. Sad commentary as to the Jewish education of Israeli youth
Al   (09.16.09)
If this is the measure by which you measure success in the material world then Israel as a state and as a nation is in deep trouble. For a Jewish Girl to want to fall in love with a goy tells tales of how low the Jews of israel have fallen in terms of educating its youth. This is a very sad develpment all before Rosh Hashana
6. #3, It's not for you to judge.
Jake   (09.16.09)
7. Not that happy - public intermarriage ?!?!
Yochanan ,   Amsterdam   (09.16.09)
8. oh please
zeev   (09.16.09)
the relationship will probably be over before this talkback gets loaded...
9. What are the alternatives?
Rb ,   Dallas, US   (09.16.09)
I'm agnostic, my wife is Jewish. We got married when she was 36 after she'd spent decades dating Jewish men and couldn't find one that would treat her the way she deserved to be treated. What is worse, for her to never have children at all by holding out for a Jewish guy or to marry outside the religion and have children that will grow up in a Jewish household?
10. 6. It is for all of us to judge...the World would be a
(09.16.09)
far better place if there was even a little more judging going on!
11. 8...lol
(09.16.09)
12. ummmm the only thing plus size on this girl is her chest
(09.16.09)
since when is that a bad thing?
13. Intermarriage?
Daniel ,   Israel   (09.16.09)
Hopefully, nothing will come of this.
14. There's nothing natural about "plus-size" women...
rnathans00 ,   Washington, USA   (09.17.09)
... certainly not for someone only 26. Sadly, it's no longer unusual in plus-size America. I've been around long enough to remember when that wasn't the case.
15. Reply #13, 3, 5 Its here choice
Avi ,   Israel   (09.17.09)
How pathetic, people in the real world are free to choose who to love and who to marry, regardless of what religious biggots have to say, who never miss a chance to judge and slander others based on a religious belief that others do not share. Your comments clearly show that religion divides people. What we jews should stick to marrying one another and create a nation on interbreds ?
16. How Heartwarming
frank ,   Israel   (09.17.09)
any Jew going over to the other side. What is it with Israelis? Don't they understand there is never a difference in religion until the goyim make it so? Why are Israelis so eager to abandon their history and heritage? Frankly I believe it is because they have no idea what is means to be Jewish. Sure religious, but not Jewish. This is only something you understand by having been born and raised in the galut. Her parents must be so proud. Personally it makes me sick and her attitude makes me want to puke! There will be some who say, "is this the attitude to stop all the hatred?" and I would tell them, they hate us regardless. The more we change to try to be like them the more they hate us for being us and weak. "THEY" only respect strength and commitment, not weakness and a willingness to cave into their demands. When we finally learn this, there will be acceptance!!!!! Shame on her and for anyone who thinks this is "such a wonderful" thing. It is not and I am embarrased for and by her and angry because of the trouble she is causing for the rest of us.....
17. 9. ur situation is unique
(09.17.09)
and in my humble opinion a better resolution for your wife and the Jewish people, than a life of loneliness for both of you. Be happy.
18. The first US President George Washington had a similar ....
Rivkah   (09.17.09)
opinion: Jews and Christians worship the same Jehovah God and are therefore brethren. Sadly, the religion of the Messiah was changed to incorporate pagan Roman religions such as Mithraism long ago until it became less like the religion of the Jewish Messiah than the Judaism that did not know him since the Lord blinded their eyes that the Gentiles might be grafted onto the Jewish faith with Jewish roots as a branch. I have seen Jewish and Christian marriages work out when the Jewish religion of the Messiah is followed instead of the pagan Sunday sabbath and the cutting down and decorating of trees that the Prophet Jeremiah said is an abomination to the Lord. He said that is a heathen custom and the Lord does not want His people to be like the heathen. This winner is buxom in a lovely way. I have noticed that women who are endowed with breasts that are more than a pimple or bump are kinder natured than the flat chested crowd who do or don't have implants put into their bosoms. A mean child who slanders and is horrid is far more likely to be flat chested as a judgment from the Lord. This contest winner must have been a kinder child than the flat chested souls who do so much harm to others that the Lord gets offended.
19. Historically Jewish meant keeping Torah
Eliyahu ,   Yrushalayim   (09.17.09)
But not necessarily anymore. Better to be apostate outside of the land, but the best would be to make t'shuvah and come back home alone or with a shomeir Torah Jew.
20. Of course her family is happy
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.17.09)
If she won and bin laden's son was the bachelor,who cares. She won and got a few bucks. I wonder if they will have a church wedding? Will her family still be excited?
21. to #15
nani ,   jerusalem   (09.17.09)
you are sooooo right! what are all these comments about keeping 2 people strictly separated??? don't you people realize what you are all saying??? i wish there would be more couples like this one that do live their love. there is no other way to gain world-peace! go for it!
22. Ynet your wrong, This is a lost for Israel.
Dovid ,   Modiin   (09.17.09)
Ynet your wrong, This is a lost for Israel and the entire jewish people. Hopefully she will do t'shuvah in the very near future.
23. #18 Do you you think anyone is listing to you?
Dovid ,   Modiin   (09.17.09)
Do you you think anyone is listing to you? According to your logic that might explain why Martha Washington chopped down the cherry tree and forced George Washington to confess to the crime. She was flat chested.
24. Rivka - Why is Michelle Obama such a bitch?
Phil ,   TLV   (09.17.09)
25. to #16
nani ,   jerusalem   (09.17.09)
do you seriously state that she is causing troubles for the rest of us? that's rather a comment to make about our leaders and all the other importent men who try to mix in history about the middle east...but not about a woman who pulled her pants down by finding her "love" in TV....that's another issue, don't you think?
26. Be happy for them. Period.
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.17.09)
let's face it, not all Jewish or Israeli men are worth marrying. (goes for women, too) If these two can make it work, let's give them every chance. Some pretty close-minded folks here.... lighten up. Make sure YOUR kids marry Jews. Don't worry about the others.
27. Rivkah please write a book, but.....
(09.17.09)
stop with these talkbacks, they don't make sense and I wonder why Ynet keep on placing them...
28. She is very dumb. Another mistake in search of glamour
Jose ,   from Mexico   (09.17.09)
This girl is lost. She will damage her soul.
29. Tali Giat
Paladin ,   J-M   (09.17.09)
A prenuptial clause is a great tie-breaker!!!!
30. Racism
Haim ,   Mpls, MN   (09.17.09)
1) Judaism is a religion, not a race. 2) Judaism is not the only religion in the world, and no one religion can ever be the whole truth. 3) If they can work it out, good for them. All you haters can get lost!!!
