Hanukkah Hottie #6: Elizabeth Banks Shows Her Faith...

The story of Elizabeth Banks' conversion to Judaism is an unlikely, albeit short one:


Banks married sportswriter and producer Max Handelman, who had been her boyfriend since she met him on her first day at college, September 6, 1992 She converted to Judaism upon marrying him.


Unlikely, because while to most Hollywood starlets bed-jumping is just a different type of rung-climbing/status-seeking that is simply part and parcel of the game, Elizabeth Banks stayed true to her one and only, and adopted his religion as a sign of her faith - to him, and to Judaism. All while still thrilling us in the Spider-Man flicks, the 40 Year Old Virgin, and my personal favorite, Zach and Miri Make a Porno (directed by Kevin Smith - "Jersey represents!").


So welcome to the tribe, Elizabeth.  We're so ever glad to have you...
