1. Honestly! who the *^^* cares!?!?!?!?!?
Talula ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
2. Welcome to the family Leonardo.Its not
Dyslexic.... ,   Israel...   (12.08.10)
easy being a Jew but you will enjoy the fun.
3. if marriage is the only reason. it's better not to "convert"
JewDuh ,   Planet Brookyn   (12.08.10)
I highly doubt that DeCaprio or Bar intend on adopting a religious Jewish lifestyle--on nay case, if they have kids, they will be Jewish regardless if he undergoes a surface-deep conversion or not, and like most celebrity marriages, it probably won't last so long anyway, so why make a sham conversion?
4. Lots of people care
Joe ,   USA   (12.08.10)
DiCaprio is an A-list international film star in line with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood history. So it's not surprising that many people take an interest. It's simple human nature.
5. disgusting...
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (12.08.10)
This is a product of secular Israeli education, when a girl with a good bod meets a handsome gentile, shack up and he wants to convert. Get the chicken soup ready for the conversion... How totally disgusting, a sad commentary on secular Israeli education that gives nothing of our heritage to the students.
6. Who needs him ............
safta of 12 ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
Stupid article
7. That would legitimatized a home in a settlement in West Bank
Very Funny   (12.08.10)
8. Nasty talkbacks
R ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
Why be so negative? They've been together 5 years, in spite of the pressures associated with being superstars, and he is taking an interest in Israel and Judaism. I respect him for being willing to make such a commitment for her. Better to gain one than to lose one, as happens regularly in the U.S.
9. to everybody
just want to comment ,   israel/usa   (12.08.10)
this is between bar and leo...not between any of you. if leo chooses to convert that is something between him and g-d and not you commentors...
10. To 5# your a moroon,people like you
Dyslexic ,   Israel.......   (12.08.10)
should go back to the days of the caveman.
11. 3 JewDuh: Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism to marry
Rivkah   (12.08.10)
Eddie Fisher and that marriage did not last long, but her conversion did. Sammy David, Jr. converted to Judaism and that conversion lasted.
12. She has disgraced & disgusted us all
PornPrincess ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.08.10)
It would be better if she converted to another religion like the Faith of Perpetual Indulgence of which she is already it seems a devote follower .Her porn adds have nothing to do with Judaism in any form .Disgusted
13. He need not bother...
Cleo ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
His wife to be didn't serve her country but takes money for endorsing Fox fasion - and goes around telling people why they should enlist? She's a waste of space.
14. Who really cares? This isnt news worthy!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
15. don't criticize
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (12.08.10)
Talkbackers who do not personally know this couple should not be criticizing their decisions. There are many woman more beautiful or more successful than Ms. Bar who DiCaprio could marry, how do you know if he is sincere or not? How do you know his motives? Wish the couple the best, or shut up.
16. Bar-nun
Susie McDowell ,   Israel (taxpaying)   (12.08.10)
Who needs this paper; it's worthless articles are as bad as the Jerusalem Post's.
17. This is news - like it or not !

19. Oh Leo !!!!!
Sagi   (12.08.10)
Don't do it. We are a screwed up People but we were born into it with no choice. What do you need such a headache for. You have a lovely woman,marry her and be happy and leave religion out of it. Religion is nonsense. Be happy and have agood life.
20. Titles of future dicaprio moviews

Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.08.10)
....Ha'aretz?
23. Orthodox conversion, or just Reform pseudo-conversion?
Avi ,   Geneva   (12.08.10)
Will he be practicing Judaism, or just take up the label of Jewish?
24. don't do it for her!
daniel ,   israel   (12.08.10)
yeah, leo! first of all, you won't be a "real" jew if you convert for her. you must convert for yourself. secondly, you are a great actor, don't change who you are!
25. #23--The New Ivana Trump
Essie HaKohane ,   Florida, USA   (12.08.10)
The Orthodox will Gladly Convert Him just like they converted Ivana Trump. Money talks, even if it is against halacha. It's the Ethiopian Jews that the orthodox have a problem about their Judaism. Hmmmm, can you guess why??
26. Will he also do the national service that
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.08.10)
his girl friend dodged?
27. Finally Someone Who Can Afford Jewish Day School!
Dan Weintraub ,   Los Angeles   (12.08.10)
I think its great that Leo wants to convert. As a middle class Jew with two kids living in Los Angeles I literally can't afford to raise my kids Jewish. In other words I can't afford to buy anything in a Jewish area and I can't afford to send my kids to Jewish day school! What a crime. However Leo and Bar with the millions they make between them can afford both. What a time we find ourselves in. A real Jew married to another real Jew can't afford to live a Jewish life, but a celebrity Jew about to marry a gentile can afford a Jewish life. Go figure!
28. I'll Convert Just To Hit That
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.08.10)
She is fine.
29. a Briss??,too??
IK ,   USA   (12.08.10)
There goes the neighborhood.
30. #9
observer   (12.08.10)
You are wrong. If they wish to shack up together, that's their business - but if he wants to convert, that's everybody's business. Conversion to a religion means exactly that, not just a formality to appease the in-laws. Oh, and by the way, has she settled her outstanding taxes and military service yet? Ha! I've got it! She's going to become HAREDI
