12.08.2020

For two thousand years (until 1948) it did not have its own state and existed solely as a network of Jewish diasporas around the world.
The national religion of the Jews and the most important attribute of their self-consciousness is Judaism, therefore in many languages of the world there is no distinction between the concepts of "Jew" and "Jew", but in Russian the Jew denotes nationality, and the Jew - religion.
Unlike most peoples of the world, Jewish nationality is determined not by the father, but by the mother. Kabbalah explains this by saying that the soul of a Jewish woman at the moment of conception "attracts" the Jewish soul. The "Law of Return" of the State of Israel currently states: "A Jew is one who is born of a Jewish mother and has not converted to another religion, as well as a person who converted to Judaism."
This post presents the most beautiful, in my opinion, famous Jewish women in Russia, compiled based on the understanding of Jewry, which is cited above. Those. the rating does not include Jewish women by father who did not convert to Judaism (for example, Irina Slutskaya), but Jewish women by mother, as well as converted Jews, are included.

The Jews are an ancient people of Semitic origin, who for two thousand years (until 1948) did not have their own state and existed solely as a network of Jewish diasporas around the world. The number of Jews reached its peak (16.7 million people) before the Second World War, but during the Holocaust about 6 million Jews were killed in Europe. Now the number of Jews is 14 million, of which 6 million live in Israel, 5.4 million - in the United States. Large Jewish disporas also exist in France (478,000), Canada (380,000), Great Britain (290,000), Russia (190,000) and other countries.
The national religion of the Jews and the most important attribute of their self-consciousness is Judaism, therefore in many languages of the world there is no distinction between the concepts of "Jew" and "Jew", but in Russian the Jew denotes nationality, and the Jew - religion.
Unlike most peoples in the world, Jewish nationality is determined not by father, but by mother.

The "Law of Return" of the State of Israel currently states: "A Jew is one who is born of a Jewish mother and has not converted to another religion, as well as a person who converted to Judaism."

Those. the rating does not include Jewish women by father who did not convert to Judaism (for example, Irina Slutskaya), but Jewish women by mother, as well as converted Jews (while only one woman on the list, being a Jew, does not have Jewish blood) are included.

47th place: Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya- Soviet and Russian ballerina, choreographer, choreographer, teacher, writer and actress, People's Artist of the USSR. She was born on November 20, 1925 in Moscow into a Jewish family: her father is a well-known economic figure Mikhail Emmanuilovich Plisetsky, her mother is a silent film actress Rakhil Mikhailovna Messerer.

46th place: Tamara (Tamriko) Mikhailovna Gverdtsiteli(born January 18, 1962, Tbilisi) - Soviet, Georgian and Russian singer, actress, composer, People's Artist of the Georgian SSR, People's Artist of Russia. Father - from the ancient Georgian noble family Gverdtsiteli. Mother - Jewish, granddaughter of the Odessa rabbi.

From an interview with Tamara Gverdtsiteli:

"My father is Georgian, I was born and lived most of my life in Georgia, naturally, its culture had a tremendous impact on my life and work. But I was born and raised by a Jewish mother, and over the years I feel more and more of my Jewish genes.".
"In 1988, I was in Israel for the first time and realized that I simply had to sing in Hebrew. Even for myself, even if only 20 people hear me. This is the cry of my soul, this is the call of the blood. (...) When I sang in Hebrew, I seemed to hear a voice from time immemorial. Indeed, the assertion is true that a person who studies Hebrew does not teach, but remembers it. This is especially felt in the song. Through the songs these words came to me, and I felt and felt them. Hebrew is a very strong language. It has such energy, such vowel sounds, that you get the feeling that you are filling an empty world with sounds and music… I try to go to Jerusalem every year. Whenever I get there, I make sure to go to my tree. It contains a piece of my soul. For me, it marks the celebration of the triumph of life. No wonder the tradition of planting trees has its roots in biblical times - planting a tree, you feel like a full-fledged person. I arrive and feel a sense of completeness, that I did everything as it should be. It is difficult for me to express my feelings for Jerusalem in words. I have a song based on the verses of Andrei Dementiev, an absolutely Orthodox person, but who loves Israel and sings of Jerusalem. The Jewish capital is a piece of the Cosmos that has been given to us. You go to Israel, you end up in Jerusalem and you feel like a cosmic being… A Jewish woman is my mother. For me, she is the most beautiful thing on earth. A Jewish woman is a phenomenal mother, an amazing hostess, friend and protector of her children. It's very hard for me to describe a Jewish woman in words - that's what music is for.".
