From an interview with Tamara Gverdtsiteli: “My father is Georgian, I was born and lived most of my life in Georgia, naturally, its culture had a tremendous influence on my life and work. But I was born and raised by a Jewish mother, and over the years I feel more and more aware of my Jewish genes.” “In 1988, I came to Israel for the first time and realized that I simply had to sing in Hebrew. Even for myself, even if only 20 people hear me. This is the cry of my soul, this is the cry of blood.<...>When I sang in Hebrew, it was as if I heard a voice from the depths of centuries. It is indeed true that a person who studies Hebrew does not learn it, but remembers it. This is especially felt in the song. These words came to me through the songs, and I felt and felt them. Hebrew is a very strong language. It has such energy, such vowel sounds that you get the feeling that you are filling an empty world with sounds and music... I try to go to Jerusalem every year. Whenever I go there, I always go to my tree. It contains a piece of my soul. For me it marks the celebration of the triumph of life. It’s not for nothing that the tradition of planting trees goes back to biblical times - after planting a tree, you feel like a full-fledged person. I arrive and feel a sense of completeness that I did everything as expected. It is difficult for me to express my feelings for Jerusalem in words. I have a song based on the poetry of Andrei Dementyev, absolutely Orthodox man, but loving Israel and praising Jerusalem. The Jewish capital is a piece of space that is given to us. You go to Israel, end up in Jerusalem and feel like a cosmic being... The Jewish woman is my mother. For me, she is the most beautiful thing on earth.

Jewish women have been famous for their beauty and sexuality since ancient times. Thanks to rich history Among the Jewish people, the appearance of Jewish girls is very diverse - among them you will find not only bright brunettes, but also natural blondes. In this issue you will find a rating of the most beautiful famous Jewish women of our time.

Jews - ancient people of Semitic origin, for two thousand years (until 1948) did not have its own state and existed exclusively as a network of Jewish diasporas around the world. The Jewish population peaked at 16.7 million before World War II, but the Holocaust killed approximately 6 million Jews in Europe. Now the number of Jews is 14 million, of which 6 million live in Israel, 5.4 million in the USA. Large Jewish diasporas also exist in France (478 thousand), Canada (380 thousand), Great Britain (290 thousand), Russia (190 thousand) and other countries.

The national religion of Jews and the most important attribute of their self-awareness is Judaism, therefore in many languages of the world there is no distinction between the concepts of “Jew” and “Jew,” but in Russian “Jew” means nationality, and “Jew” means religion.

Unlike most peoples of the world, Jewish nationality is determined not by the father, but by the mother. Kabbalah explains this by saying that the soul of a Jewish woman at the moment of conception “attracts” the Jewish soul. The “Law of Return” of the State of Israel currently states: “A Jew is considered to be one who is born of a Jewish mother and has not converted to another religion, as well as a person who has converted to Judaism.”

This rating, which presents the most beautiful, in our opinion, famous Jewish women, was compiled based on the understanding of Jewry, which is quoted above. Those.

In its modern form, Israel was founded in 1948, making it one of the youngest states in the world. Moreover, the Kingdom of Israel with its capital in Jerusalem was founded more than 3 thousand years ago - in the 11th century BC. After the death of King Solomon in 928 BC. e. the kingdom was divided into Israel and Judah, the first of which was destroyed by Assyria, and the second by Babylon. Later, the territory of modern Israel was under the rule of the Persians and Greeks. As a result of their rebellion against forced Hellenization, the Jews created an independent Hasmonean kingdom for one century, which was conquered by Rome. After the revolt against Rome in 135 AD. many Jews were expelled from the country. However, the Jewish dispersion began much earlier - 4 centuries earlier.
The Jewish presence in the region reached its lowest point in its three-thousand-year history in the 7th century, after the conquest of Jerusalem by Byzantium and the beginning of Byzantine persecution of the Jews. After Byzantium, the land of Israel passed into the hands of Muslims - first Arabs and then Turks. After the breakup Ottoman Empire control over the territory of modern Israel and Palestine passed to Great Britain. By the time Palestine was divided into Palestine proper and Israel, Jews made up 1/3 of the region's population, and Arabs - 2/3 (for comparison, at the beginning of the 19th century, the Jewish population of the region was only 2%).
Currently, the population of Israel is 8.3 million people, of which 6.2 million are Jews, 1.7 million are Arabs, and there are also 359 thousand ethnic minorities living in the country.
This rating presents the most beautiful, in my opinion, Israeli women, that is, those who were born in Israel or have its citizenship. Everyone in the ranking is Jewish.

Jewish appearance and its signs in males are usually quite pronounced. Everyone immediately imagined a small, big-nosed individual with sidelocks and a Talmud under his arm, or asking, how many jokes can you write about Jews?
But the signs of Jewish appearance in women are not so bright. Sometimes you can guess that a woman is Jewish just by her name - Sarochka, Rozochka, Tsylya Solomonovna...
In Nazi Germany, schools even taught how to recognize Jewish faces. Summary (translation):
“We can recognize it by the shape of its nose: it bends at the very tip and looks like the number six. That’s what we call this feature – “Jewish six”. It differs from just a humpback or aquiline nose because it looks exactly like a six,” the students answer. We can also identify it by its lips - they are usually fleshy. And his eyes are different from ours - their eyelids are heavy, their gaze is suspicious and piercing, you can immediately see a deceitful person. They are small in stature, from medium to low, suffer from flat feet, their ears are large and stick out like the handle of a cup. Their hair is black and curly, like a Negro’s, and when they talk they wave their hands.”
Signs of Jewish appearance in women, photo:
In women, the symptoms are still the same, but milder. Sometimes they can be confused with Caucasian or Mediterranean women, but with a combination of other signs, everything quickly falls into place.
The eyes of Jewish women are huge, wide open and there is eternal sadness in them. Even in the middle of a holiday, there is always worry and anxiety. Jews feel like strangers everywhere and this is reflected in the eyes of women.
