Appearing on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Kloss was responding to a viewer question about whether she converted before her surprise and small Jewish wedding ceremony in October, The Jerusalem Post reported.
“I joined the tribe, mazel,” Kloss said, raising her glass in a toast.
“Nice, you’re a nice Jewish girl!” replied Cohen, who is Jewish.
People magazine had reported after the couple’s engagement in July following a six-year courtship that Kloss had converted in June.
Kloss, the new host of “Project Runway,” isn’t the first to embrace Judaism in order to marry a Kushner. Jared Kushner’s wife and the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, converted before the couple tied the knot in 2009. She studied with New York-based Orthodox rabbi Haskel Lookstein.
even the most liberal orthodox jew will recognize this as a sham as neither is shomer shabbos
Was it an Orthodox conversion? The family sure has a hold on these boys. Marry a Jew or else…..
Not lchatchila but once one is megayer Lshem ishis it’s a good gerous
It’s amazing just how easy it is to convert when you have money. This is so pathetic. I’m not sure what’s more pathetic, the ease of her becoming a Jew or that the boys really think that it’s valid and that they care enough to go through with this fake ritual
How shomer shabbas are Yvanka and Jared? ?????
Is there a shortage of shainah maideloch that so called orthodox rabbis need to make so called converts for the so called orthodox Kushners and the rest of the Livingston heileger yiddin?
Shame on all of you holy than thou frum phonies, with your disgusting and despicable loshon hora!!!
Would be Nice to Wear A Yarmalka
When they get divorced she will return to her original religion and take the children with her, who are neither Jewish or the other religion. Eventually the children will have to decide which way to go. This is a story which has been since time beginning.
Why don’t we all mind our business and respect what their religious decisions/practices are? They’re NOT flaunting it – only the media and self-righteous pseudo-chachamim.
Everyone can think what they want but it was an Orthodox Beis Din and this isn’t something we should be gossiping about. Her kids may end up in the same Yeshiva as yours (stranger things have happened).
