So here’s some unexpected news: Gwyneth Paltrow, an actress who does not practice Judaism, is planning to raise her children as Jews. She appeared on the television show “Who Do You Think You Are” and found out that she comes from a family that is descended from Eastern European rabbis. The actress, who practices Kabbalah, has until now remained neutral to religion. Her husband, Chris Brown, who is lead vocalist of popular British band Coldplay, comes from a Christian family. Gwyneth decided to raise her children as Jews very recently. A while ago, she expressed her distaste for religion and said that she thinks religion is the “cause of all problems in the world”. She told the Daily Mail this a few years ago. Gwyneth’s decision is one of the few familial things she has made public. She and her husband, who are notoriously private about their lifestyle and decisions, live in England, where they raise their kids. Gwyneth is currently filming the movie “Contagion” and will also make a cameo appearance in next year’s “The Avengers”. Chris Martin is currently in the midst of cutting his band’s latest LP. Gwyneth’s rep made the announcement just this week, much to the surprise of many.
