Some are sexy and sultry, while others have a great sense of humor that adds to their irresistible charm.

Sara Paxtonis an American actress, model, and singer who grew up in California and began acting at an early age. She appeared in many minor roles in both films and television shows, before rising to fame in 2004. The role that catapulted her career was the title role in the series Darcy's Wild Life and playing Sarah Borden in Summerland. Paxton's most notable roles have been in the films Aquamarine, Sydney White, Superhero Movie, The Last House on the Left, and The Innkeepers. She has also appeared prominently in David Lynch's 2017 Twin Peaks series.

Isla Fisher 

From her fiery mane to her adorable personality, Isla Fisher is dreamy and hilarious. Born in Oman to Scottish parents, Fisher spent her primary developmental years in Perth, Australia. Although not raised Jewish, she did convert in 2007 for her now husband, Sacha Baren Cohen. Fisher even took up a Hebrew name, Ayala, which translates to doe. It doesn't get much sweeter than that. In addition to being worldly and committed, Fisher's on screen performances have been super funny. Whether as an obsessive nymphomaniac in Wedding Crashers or lending her dulcet tones for animated films like Rango with Johnny Depp, Isla's roles become fundamental to the humor of the works even when she isn't the star.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Who could forget party girl turned Columbia grad and mob supporter, Meadow Soprano? While the real life Jamie Lynn now has a proclivity for musicals and guest appearances on various television shows, it's hard to look at her and not automatically think of The Sopranos. It's her Greek, Romanian, and Cuban ancestry that allowed her to pass as the daughter of an American-Italian mob boss. Barely legal when signing onto the show at eighteen, the mega success of the series propelled her into stardom. Since then, she has made appearances on shows such as Entourage, How I Met Your Mother, and SNL. She has also made a few musical appearances, most notably as Belle in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast for a five month run from 2002 to 2003. Raised Jewish, Jamie Lynn's faith has always been important to her and she completed her birthright trip to Israel in 2008.

Natalie Portman

A classic beauty, Natalie Portman has been kosher and proud since day one. From Leon the Professional to Mars Attacks! to Queen Amadala in the Star Wars prequels, Natalie Portman is a Jewish princess. Having citizenship in Israel as well as the United States, Portman was able to study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem graduate school following the completion of her performance degree at Harvard. While her acting is undoubtedly brilliant, who knew she had such a brain? She really is a manic, pixie dream girl.

Brooke Burke-Charvet

Raised by her Jewish mother in Arizona, this beach babe worked her way to this list with her awesome body and cool personality. Brooke Burke is the kind of lady that wasn't really pursuing recognition for her looks but naturally received it. Humility never hurts. Originally it was Brooke's dream to drum in a rock band, and later she would even pursue a degree in broadcast journalism at UCLA. While supporting her friend on a trip to a modeling agency, Brooke herself became the focus of attention when the agent saw her. This recognition led her to being part of television and film, hosting Wild On! and appearing in the comedic drama, Knuckle Sandwich, both which showed her silly personality. Now she keeps her body up by hosting a series of workout tapes.

Elizabeth Banks

It's easy to gush over the beautiful Elizabeth Banks. She was in all three Spider-Man movies as Betty Brant and has only gotten more Jewish since. She showed off her killer combination of entertaining, sensible, and sexy in Zack and Miri Make a Porno with Seth Rogan, and voiced the love interest in The Lego Movie. Currently, she is playing the part of the eerie Effie Trinket in the hit Hunger Games film series. Although only completing part of the conversion process after marrying, the actress says she practices Judaism regularly. That works for us.

Bar Refaeli

Fine, so she may not be the most Jewish of the bunch, but she is Israeli and she is ridiculously good looking. One fact that bumps up her nerd factor regards a certain suggestive television performance with... a muppet. Yes, as in the children's show, The Muppets. The model had a bedroom scene with Israeli muppet Red Orbach, causing outrage from parents across the holy land. What a rebel. It also doesn't take a nerd to appreciate this princess gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Born in Montreal, Canada to Jewish immigrant parents, this wavy haired cutie has been in the industry for nearly two decades. She is most recognized for her character Sloan McQuewick on Entourage, but she has been a part of a number of darker and alternative works. Her real Jewish side comes out in her television bits, though. She has voiced several parts for Cartoon Networks Robot Chicken and the revival of the Thundercats series.

Scarlett Johansson

It was really hard not to give Scar Jo the number one spot on the list, but her second place ranking doesn't take away any of her hotness. Although she's been appearing in television shows and movies since the mid 1990s, it wasn't until Ms. Johansson strapped on a tight superhero costume and donned a kick ass Russian alter ego that she became a Jewish goddess. Appearing as Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of this comic book character in box office hits such as Iron Man 2 and The Avengers made many nerds develop serious crushes. Also, not only is she Jewish, but she comes from an Ashkenazi Jewish family. This ethnic sect of Judaism has produced some great minds, including Sigmund Freud and Stanley Kubrick.

Mila Kunis

The number one pick, Mila Kunis, is also the most kosher of the bunch. Most learned to love her on That 70's Show or as the voice of Meg on Family Guy. Her excellent performances in films such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the much darker Black Swan really help solidify her reign as the Jewish queen. While Mila's co-star in Black Swan, Natalie Portman, could have been a good choice, Mila Kunis's tomboy attitude matched with her smoky eyes could not be denied. Plus, having faced antisemitic persecution in the former Soviet Union, Mila Kunis is not only ridiculously hot but dedicated to her family and faith. Overall, she seems like the most down to earth of the group, with a winning personality to match. Let's toast some Manischewitz to that fine, tuch ass.
