Gwyneth Paltrow's repeated statements about her close ties with Judaism are fostering discussions about whether she is now officially becoming a “Jewish mother.”
Having been raised by a Christian mother and a Jewish father, Paltrow considers her interfaith roots “such a nice way to grow up.” Nevertheless, Emily Smith of Page Six stated that Paltrow recently expressed a desire to raise her own two children “in a Jewish environment.”
Paltrow has long been a student of Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism.
She is also friendly with Michael Berg, “co-director of the Kabbalah Centre.”
Paltrow’s focus upon (and possible conversion to) Judaism might not surprise those who watched her 2011 guest appearance on NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? During that show, it was revealed
that Paltrow has descended from “a long line of influential Eastern European rabbis.”
As for her maternal leanings, Paltrow explains: Creating a meal for my
family and friends, sitting
together, eating,
laughing and talking, that’s when I’m happy… I am the original Jewish mother.
