Ano-nimo, I don't know if, when you say "jew men with jew women", you are talking about the ''actors'' or the ''characters''. This line is blurred quite often in writings about this topic. If you're talking about actors, though, there are Jewish-on-Jewish pairings all the time. You just have to look for them.

In the last two years or so... Anton Yelchin with Kat Dennings (Charlie Bartlett), Paul Rudd with Rashida Jones (I Love You, Man), Zac Efron with Nikki Blonsky in Hairspray (well, Blonsky was raised Catholic, but her father is Jewish), Zac Efron again with Michelle Trachtenberg (17 Again), Jeremy Piven with Jordana Spiro (The Goods), Gabriel Macht with Scarlett Johansson in The Spirit (though that character had a lot of love interests), Jake Gyllenhaal with Natalie Portman (Brothers), and Jesse Eisenbeg with Margarita Levieva in Adventureland (both were playing non-Jews, but Eisenberg's character ended up with a Jewish character played by a non-Jewish actress! Makes your head spin).
