What kind of schmucky name is Cruz? Oy vay!

Great excitement in this corner of the LiS office: looks like we're getting the big one! That's right, folks, la famille Beckham are creeping ever closer into our Jewish web. Not long now until Kabbalah!

Thrilling news today that the Beckhams have enrolled young Cruz into what the Sun is describing as "one of the best schools for young children in LA and one of the largest Jewish day schools in the USA." Well, you know those Jews - so academic.

Although the Beckhams' spokesperson has insistently stressed that Cruz will not "be educated in the Jewish faith" we seasoned Beckham watchers pish tush such scepticism. We all know about Beckham's mum (Jewish) and the charming Hebrew tattoos both David and (oh, triumphant bagging)

Victoria have.

Now, for some time some of us have been a little concerned that we might lose them to the Scientologists but this revelation suggests that everything is back on track. How long before an African girl baby? Marina and I give it until the end of the year.
