Gwyneth Paltrow started the celebrations on Wednesday, December 25, by lighting a menorah with an activist and actor partner. Noah Tishby.
“I think it’s what I like the most [memory] that’s when I go back to my grandparents’ house and get Hanukkah jelly,” Paltrow recalled in a social media video, referring to the chocolate coins. “I remember very well the gold, round coins and my brother and I tearing them apart.”
Paltrow grew up celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah like her mother, Blythe Dannerhe is a Christian, and his father, deceased Bruce Paltrowhe was raised as a Jew.
Now that Paltrow is older, she makes sure to bring Hanukkah traditions into her home with her husband Brad Falchuk and their extended family. (They all share two children from previous marriages.)
