Natalie Portman: New York, I Love You!!!
Wed, 12 March 2008 at 7:44 pm
Natalie Portman films scenes alongside a Hasidic Jew for the new anthology film, New York, I Love You, at The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Wednesday.
No word yet on how closeley Natalie will be working again with Scarlett Johansson (they were most recently costars in The Other Boleyn Girl) on this film. Scarlett was, however, most recently in Brooklyn’s Coney Island filming New York, I Love You as a director.
Natalie reportedly plays the role of a Jewish bride. She joins other established actors such as Elijah Wood, Nick Nolte and Kevin Bacon in a set of several love stories set in NYC.
20+ pictures inside of Natalie Portman loving New York…

I know abe from yeshiva .He was always a confused kid and had very mixed feelings about his religion. He got married (not his choice)with a very orthodox girl and removed his white stockings just after his marriage. He of course does not realize what he got homself into but he will outgrow it after this movie shot. He is not rebelious against his upbringing just a bit hungry for some extra cash which he is struggling to feed his family. The community has more shocking headline stories where people betrayed their wives and community.Let him grow up and be part of our great community.
yup ! this is what happens when i am away for only 2 weeks in vaas ruslaand building mikvooes.
to you avrumi: this come down that much for a chasidic jew to do that is because you are hanging out in clubs and bars with girls what is forbidden in the jewish law. SHAME ON YOU, you shout ask forgivness from heshem
what an idiot!
who the f*** do you think you are, what a shmuck.
what about your wife and kids, what about your parents, i just hope you made a lot of money on this set .
yeah who are you to talk ha
hey 35 do u think cursing is better …….where did u learn that, huh?
For all of you nice Chassidishe young men who are commenting about Abe, why the hell are you on an internet gossip site? Do you have a computer in your house? or are you taking time away from actually working for a living to get into someone else’s business? Are you going to watch this movie when it comes out? Because last time I checked, I dont think your Rabbonim would approve any more of that than him being in the damn movie. Any person who has the chutzpah to get on this site and say disgusting things about this guy most likely has screwed up much worse in his own life. Basically what it comes down to, is that its done already, stop giving him hell about it. You think he gives a damn about what you have to say? You are no better than him if you are taking time away from working to support your own family to make pointless comments! This is this man’s life, his wife, his kids that only HE has to worry about. Until it is your family, mind your own business!
abey…shame i am not gay because you r just simple georgeous.
I just recently messed up big.with my family. please don’t do the same
HI ASHER DIBARTI !! This is the outcome of keeping open the SHVITZ in kikar shabat, eating dem baterer’s meal mart hechsher, & the EIDE shmite fruits,

GO ABE GO!!! don’t let yourself down!! hashem is all the way with you!
so did he make $500.000 or $150 per day?
Religious fanatics are the most stupid people in the world. What a dumbass. If your wearing a scullcap, burqua, flowing robe, or an ugly black suit and a ridiculous hat, or any moronic looking religious mandated garb of any kind, and behave in ways that “You have to because they told you to”, no matter how illogical or not in your own interest it may be, I hope you choke on vomit. You are precisely what is wrong with the world.
Howie….
YOU are an absolute idiot….and I really hope YOU choke on vomit….you have no idea what any of the religious world is about….and you never will… and the one thing i can promise you is that nobody acts in the religious world just “because they told you to” i assume you are talking about abe now and if you are, realize one thing…I know for a fact the reason he did this and the reason he’s now backing out and I will tell you that none of it was “because they told him to” it was because he decided what was more important to him…. obviously you are just another anti-semetic ******* that has no earthly idea what the hell he is talking about because he is too ignorant to learn…I lived that life for many years, and I will tell you it is the most BEAUTIFUL world that exists in many many ways….so do us all a favor….shut your mouth and go somewhere else….because we actually know what we’re talking about….
He is handsome!
Hey, “Idiots”, it clearly states in the article that this man removed himself from a lucrative and beneficial career making movie role due to the moronic interloping of his religious extremist community. Sorry if you cannot comprehend what is clearly written. As for your accusation that I am an “anti semite”, HAH! I happen to be jewish myself, I am simply not a wacko extremist like the hasidim or the the lubavitchers, who are all a bunch of asshats IMHO. I will restate that anyone who does what this man does simply as the result of browbeating by his “religious community” is quite simply nothing but a mindless sheep. he is not adhering to a religion, he is adhering to a dictatorship, and that is morally, ethically and intellectually stupid.
Abe is jaw-droppingly, movie-star handsome.
It’s sad that his community won’t allow him to complete this project. Fundamentalism — whether Christian, Jewish, or Muslim — is anti-life. Dogma can never bring about real spiritual growth.
Dear Abe, blessings on you.
At first I thought, too bad he gave up his chance to make money in acting, but then I thought, he already has what most people want, a wife, kids, a caring community. Gosh, too bad he offended the community.
I looked at the nude pictures of Natalie and I thought, too bad a nice Jewish girl came from Israel and does that stuff. She should go join the hasids if they’ll have her, and have a life. Not a perfect life, naturally, but a better one than showing off your butt and your underwear for money.
Incidentally I am not Jewish but I am married to one. I come from a west coast community of MANY Jews, and know a lot about them. I wish they were more accepting of ME. But I can’t help thinking they are “cute”.
abe .. dont quit the movie .. you can still do the movie and ask the director for a stand in for the touchy kissy parts .. just like stephen(shlomo) hill does hes religous and chassidic like you and still appears in movies/tv hes originally from the original mission impossible tv series he has stand ins and doubles do all the “non kosher” stuff abe you owe it to yourself if you have the talent you certainly have the looks you owe it to yourself and the rest of us to do the movie just do it in a kosher way hollywood will accomodate .. i promise you the rabbis and all teh rest of the yoellys in williamsburg are jealous because they are losers i work for a jew too and in sales and trust me working for your fellow brothers sux cr@p abe dont quit
jacob
Why did you get rid of the photos? So will you be censoring future articles you post?
did he realy backed out?
Does anyone know if he really backed out? Please provide some links.
He is just like Lipa who backed out from the Big Event concert because of pressure from his community.
abe karpen im all the way with you…
we both did a kidish hashem for the entire world..
lets be mchazek & be happy , this move will help you trough your entire life, bleave me, be proud of what you have done…
bravo…..
To all naive Hasidim posting here. He may have made a mistake by going against his communities standards by taking a small role in a small insignificant film, but its clear he did it because he had a passion for it. Its also clear that he backed out only because of the uproar and pressure from his community.
Unfortunately his brainwashed community cannot express their passion for anything that is outside there small and enclosed bubble/enclave.
But whom are they kidding, you always see many young hasidim in Movie Theaters, Bars, Massage parlors and even Strip clubs in the City.
Obviously the younger crowds are more enlightened than their parents in this information age.
This guy went even a step further and I guess his community is not ready for it, but since it happened once its probably right around the corner, many more are probably a few short years away.
Good luck you Hypocritical Fanatics!
