Isla Fisher makes rabbi joke

10th March 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Isla Fisher has joked she is considering becoming a rabbi.

The stunning actress converted to Judaism in order to marry her partner Sacha Baron Cohen last year. Isla became engaged to the comedian in 2004, and studied for three years before completing her conversion in early 2007. The 35-year-old star took on the Hebrew name Ayala, the Hebrew word for Doe.

Isla has joked she is so enamoured with the religion that shes thinking of becoming a rabbi.

You study, then have a test. In fact, Im thinking of becoming a mohel. [Pause] If you knew what a mohel was, youd laugh. Its a rabbi who circumcises boys, she told the April edition of Elle.

The actress who has two children with her husband is renowned for her roles in Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic. She says that after years of hard work, she is now in a position to be picky with her work decisions.

Im exactly the opposite [of a workaholic]. Im pretty choosy about what I do, which probably comes from years of having no choices, she added. (C) Cover Media
