Gwyneth Paltrow has started taking her Jewish roots seriously after missing out on two years of fasting during the religion’s high holy days.

The actress was pregnant with baby Apple in 2003 and breastfeeding her daughter in 2004, so she made sure she honoured Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in style in 2005.

And Paltrow plans to pay tribute to her ancestors every year from now on.

Now, as blogger Debbie Schlussel shows, she isn’t doing a very good job. Unless she was descended from Neturei Karta.

(thanks to Shy Guy for the heads up).

Gwyneth Paltrow has started taking her Jewish roots seriously after missing out on two years of fasting during the religion’s high holy days.

The actress was pregnant with baby Apple in 2003 and breastfeeding her daughter in 2004, so she made sure she honoured Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in style in 2005.

And Paltrow plans to pay tribute to her ancestors every year from now on.

She says, “I am the result of generations and generations of rabbis back in Minsk. They call it a rabbinical dynasty.”

As her next act of dedication to her Jewish heritage, Gwyneth plans to change her daughter’s name to Apple Dipped in Honey.

Afterthought: Gwyneth used to date Brad Pitt. Can you imagine if they had married and had a daughter?
