unlike the greedy- for-more parents of other Israeli models, who are over the moon and encourage their daughters to marry/flatter/ run around with goyim. This is one girl that decent normal Israelis definitely do not need to be ashamed of. One feels sorry for other Israeli models, when one hears of Chava's normal and warm background. She doesn't have a devil in the background who's platzing to wear Prada...As I said this young lady will definitely not be encouraged or tempted in any way, to end up with a goy. Having chutz la'aretz roots, she and her family are not as bowled over by her achievement and fame as other Israeli models. Good luck, to Chava and to the Mond Family and stay rooted exactly as you are. It's called 'Quality', and it makes all the difference. My comments are meant for broad minded readers. The rest of you, how come you're reading all this?

plus a contrived barbie style lip glossed pout IS modest? Don't make me laugh... This young lady, even with fairly low cut necklines, is far more modest, and less trashy looking too, than the 'all covered up' type we're bombarded with here at ynet. Nice to see some class and elegance for a change....She doesn't bash sections of the religious community she and her family belong to sadly. Ah well..here at ynet that's not a good omen...

number 3 get down to earth as long as she is whithin the religion rules she is ok. and she is dressed with "TSNIUT" thats why she isn't moddeling underware and swimsuite I heard about this yeshiva guy that openned a pickup bar in tel aviv with the rabbi permission , so don't lcture her how to be god blessed her with beauty let her use it she is tsnua.

She is far more righteous than 90% of the "religious" (i.e. orthodox) that pray and eat kosher and spit at women they don't consider properly attired or throw rocks at passing cars on shabbat. And we all know that that is the truth. -k-

Since you're in Paris, maybe Suha Arafat is more your type.

Why are people deriding a womans beauty like hypocrites, were not sarah rivkah rachel baatsheva and joshuas wife the biggest prostitute in canaan woman of great physical beauty. On the other hand I recognize the fear of the goysha outside world and values in it many of the talkbacks to this article represent. i think its an intresting delemna of two worlds the inner heredi need to be more and more frum and the basic jewish desire for more freedom.

a really self centred (on her own kehilla only)chareidi woman achiever appeared in haaretz on, of all days... Yom Hazikaron( the day we remember our people whose sons husbands brothers gave their everything for our country, but definitely not , for themselves).How many distinctive ties she owns, prada bags herera perfume, you name it , she's got it. I felt embarassed by the article actually, but you'd love her. Exactly what you asked for. As they say, be careul what you ask for, you might get it...and we did.

who too, chooses what suits him,and how! So how come you read all this to such minute detail? Does a really orthodox religious rabbi really approve of you devouring every word and picture on oynet? Are you the one with the don lchaf zchut answer or that you need to read it for your work..haha

Charges that this woman isn't Orthodox are Leshon ha-Ra, Motzi Sheim Ra and -- from those hypocrites who misrepresent that their slander represents Torah -- Khilul ha-Sheim!!! Torah-keepers check facts and avoid slander. Which talkbacker has checked with the authorities of her beit k'nesset? Anyone??? If not, you're guilty of unmitigated slander, which, unfortunately, is typical. Every sanctimonious, hypocritical slanderer thinks and writes like they are a shopheit of the beit din. Last time I checked, Shophtim of batei din check facts and verify. They don't slander. Encouragingly, however, nos. 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 21, 22, 29 & 32 are right.

is she still a virgen or a private frecha??? & even though im very impressed that she is not ashamed of reporting to the almighty each & every day when she retires & when she arises...as it says in the bible...but when in private how do you live in & behave in a world that revolves around soft porn & lots of indulging in sex...can you be brave enough to admit that you either play alone or with others & please if so i hope it is not for free...because that would be the biggest $hame...of it all & im sure he would agree...because if your going to sin at least get paid for it & dont give it away for free @ the end of the party to some bloke you think is hot or connected...because of promi$e$ of further potential work related nonsense that is commowealth in your pie in the sky frecha fantasy indu$try...get married to a observantly commited person asap & dont mi$$ the bu$...i mean the point of your being...even if changing smelly diapers seems grim & not at all aishes chaiel glamourous gur!...because that is your rea! duty...no pun intented...either quit doing what your doing immediatly or dont be upset from everyone including the almighty one calling you a frecha...sincerely a refuah shelaymus momesh...

It's hard to believe that any modeling agency would bend over backwards to accomodate such annoying demands for any model, let alone a new girl who no one really cares about yet.. There must be something else to this story, either she knows someone in a high place, or maybe she cried anti-Semitism all the way to where she is now...

that a stupid/idiotic/boring/ show ch 10did "dugmaniyot" where they had to make out with men, pose nude and do other gross things just to make the cut was nothing but playing to the rating-meaning us-the stupid/idiotic/gross audience. This girl Hava proves that when u know what u r worth and dont compromise on red lines-things go yo way. I wish her all the luck and pray that she will not stop keeping shabat(which is much more then i can say for myself)will continue saying her prayers(which is again much more then i can say for myself) and do all the other things that separate her from the rest of the hurd!

Well, that is an oxymoron In these times, the religious are anything but role models, quite the opposite

"if your going to sin at least get paid for it"

She's been modelling for a long time BUT she doesn't ( need to)appear in the gossip columns that most of her ilk rely on for their desperate claims to fame. What a difference to the local yachnas and yentas i.e.those who've moved from the krayot and the south of Israel, to tel aviv, flitting from guy to guy, at this club and that pub, at every month of pregnancy too, and that try so desperately to fill our screens and columns. I've read low key articles about her in the past , not in Ynet maybe, but always with the same quiet dignity and family orientation, which makes her quite dull in that bitch-eat-bitch profession. Quality boring girl, by local standards, no? Please stay that way, Chava .That's why I remember those articles about you and your family.

honest girls like you who 'lefargen' others, are also rare. What's the translation for 'lefargen', anyone know? Of course not, cos it's a quality that doesnt exist in English, it's from Yiddish. (a fact that will certainly upset quite a few people, but that's life, folks)

if it is her private life, as you said then what the hell do you care ?

in addition to 2 very important tasks i've taken upon myself in regard to educating israelis: 1st task--to pick up any zevel that a person drops in my vasinity-return it to him and say with a smile "motek/a-i m sure u droped this by mistake". MOST IMPORTANT to do this with a most charming smile u can! 2d task--to invite a person breathing down my neck when i m at kaspomat to help me count the money i've taken out and ask him(again-very politely) if he/she would like to go over the bank statement with me. NOW-my 3d task is to give at least 5-unrelated firgunim a day--I CALL ON EVERYBODY TO ADOPT THIS-sheesh--it feels soooo good at the end of the day!

To #13. Maybe you should review the lawss of loshon hara before you begin to rant. There happens to be certain people whom one is allowed and even obligated to speak loshon hara about.

What she does or does not do is really between her and Gd and we are not supposed to judge her or anyone else's devotion.Isn't that in Pirkei Avos?The fact that she is "davening"and keeping kosher and Shabbos is something we should be positive about considering she is a model.Why can't people be praised for the things they do and not the opposite and be supportive of someone who keeps these mitzvot?We should applaud her because she was not influenced to give up these important mitzvos.Come on guys, stop being so hard on this girl. is everyone else so perfect?Cut her some slack!

I totally agree with you dear Debbie. We should not judge. Plus she is so pretty she can do whatever she wants to do. Pretty people get away with anything and I commend her for at least being shomer shabbos and keeping kosher. This has got to be hard in the Model World. I should know, having been a model myself. Debbie, I admire your excellent viewpoints!

it is not Lefargen-you cannot mix Hebrew with yiddish,girlfriend.Tsu Fargin is something like not begrudging others-it is hard to translate but it means to be "giving"in a sense and not resent people for what they have in life.Sometimes people see others and their good fortune so they just are so begrudging when they do not experience the same.I agree-leave the girl alone.

Lefargen is definitely a verb in Ivrit . It's used all the time, in all tenses. We here in Israel often use Ivrit words in our talkbacks. My point was that this warm attribute just doesn't have an English one- word translation. See how many words you had to use, just because you thought I dont know what it is? In Ivrit it's one word, used a lot, ( but not enough... just read the miserable talkbacks right here..) like the Yiddish, from which it originated.

ok- so what in the world does it mean? Why would someone take a yiddish word and turn it into a heb.one??I don't get it.Can you put in different words what you were trying to convey?

For those of us who are not Israeli, what in the world are you talking about?What are these tasks-what is a zevel and what does it have to do with the model?I really would like to understand these posts.I admit I am clueless but i want to be educated.please explain.

Okay being a model might not be the best profession in the world but that's how she makes a living. Kol Hakavod to her for being shomer Mitzvot and not abandoning what she likes doing! Just because she does not fit the orthodox mold does not mean she isn't religious. I think she's religious and I don't think people should judge her and say she's not just because of her clothing... She tries to be more modest in dress in a society which is much less modest which is good!
