Rosh Hashanah doesn't have any splashy customs like the other Jewish holidays.
There's no fasting, like there is for Yom Kippur. Or Menorah lighting, like on Hanukkah. And a seat isn't left for Elijah, like it is on Passover.
Still, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a pretty big deal. Especially since it marks the beginning of the year 5771, which is somewhat unfathomable on our Gregorian calendar.
So we decided to spice up Rosh Hashanah the only way we know how: with a list of the 20 hottest Jewish women we could cull from the ranks of the famous.
Read on to check out -- in no particular order -- the most choice of the chosen people. And use the comment section to point out any comely Jews we neglected to mention.
1. Natalie Portman
Portman was born in Israel, raised in Long Island and ended up at Harvard -- can't get much more Jewish than that.
2. Emmanuelle Chriqui
Chriqui gets her exotic name and look from her Moroccan Jewish heritage.
3. Bar Refaeli
An ultra-national group in Israel has criticized the Israeli supermodel for dating goy Leonardo Dicaprio.
4. Winona Ryder
The "Reality Bites" star was born Winona Horowtiz, and still looks great at 38.
5. Mila Kunis
Kunis on being Jewish: "I love my religion. I think it's a beautiful religion, but I took parts of it that I want for myself. I don't need to go to temple. I will, but I don't need to."
6. Evan Rachel Wood
We're not experts on Jewish law, but we're pretty sure dating Marylin Manson isn't considered kosher.
7. Scarlett Johansson
They say the Jews run Hollywood. But half-Jews like Scarlett Johansson seem to do pretty well in Tinseltown, too.
8. Cindy Margolis
The Interent's original glamor girl practices the world's original Abrahamic religion
9. Selma Blair
Her kiss with Sarah Michelle Geller in "Cruel Intentions" is the hottest bit of Jew on Jew action in big screen history. (However, we reserve the right to take that back after we see the upcoming film "Black Swan," in which Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis will get it on.)
10. Brooke Burke
Burke is "Wild On" not mixing milk and meat.
11. Gwyneth Paltrow
She might have a WASPy way about her, but Paltrow's father comes from a long line of Rabbis.
12. Alicia Silverstone
This vegan can point to two reasons why she doesn't eat pork.
13. Emmy Rossum
Rossum is part of a long list of Jewish singers who have released a Christmas album.
14. Keri Russell
We were surprised to learn Russell is a member of the tribe.
15. Rachel Bilson
She played the shiksa on "The O.C.," but, in real life, Bilson has a Jewish father.
16. Sarah Michelle Geller
Even though both of Geller's parents are Jewish, she grew up with a Christmas tree in her house.
17. Rashida Jones
Quincy Jones, Rashida's famous father, isn't Jewish. But Peggy Lipton, her famous mother, is.
18. Alyson Hannigan
Don't let her name fool you: The red-headed actress is as much Jewish as she is Irish.
19. Michelle Trachtenberg
Trachtenberg is yet another Jewish actress who came to prominence on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer."
20. Kat Dennings
According to Dennings, "Judaism is an important part of my history, but, as a whole, religion is not a part of my life."
