Jon Gosselin is so in love with Hailey and her Jewish heritage that he will be celebrating Hanukkah this year.

Jon told Parent Dish that "This is the first year I will celebrate Chanukah. Hailey is Jewish. Everyone in my life is Jewish now, my attorney. I love it. I'm now half Jewish and half Korean. The family values are great."

And it seems like Jon could use a healthy dose of family values about now!

Jon's embattled ex has custody of the kids on Thanksgiving, but he says that, "On Christmas, I'll see my kids during the day for a couple of hours."

But don't think Hanukkah is playing second fiddle to the kids' Christmas! Jon is totally into the Jewish holidays, thanks to Hailey.

"I just went through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and learned about the new year and every Friday is the Shabbat dinner," Jon told the site. "I love challah bread. I'm learning about Jewish food, going to Zabar's. I love that place. I'm learning about kosher and when not to order a bacon, egg and cheese and make an ass of myself. Hailey makes fun of me."

Yeah, we can see why!

When asked whether or not all this Jew lovin' means he's going to convert, Jon only said, "I talked to Rabbi Shmuley a couple of times. He has nine kids."

So does all this talk of conversion mean he and Hailey are ready to get married? "We don't talk about getting married," Jon said. "She's seen how messy my divorce has been and she says it makes her not want to get married."

And as for having more kids, "if Hailey and I got married and she wanted to, then obviously I would. But let me get through this first."
