As an international superstar, actress Gal Gadot is no stranger to the spotlight. But this weekend, the Wonder Woman star shone the light on her family as she celebrated a special milestone for her eldest daughter, Alma.
On Saturday, November 9th, Gadot took to Instagram to commemorate Alma’s Bat Mitzvah. The beautiful coming-of-age ceremony marked the 13-year-old’s transition into Jewish adulthood.
A Family Affair
Gadot shared a heartwarming family portrait capturing the special occasion. The 39-year-old actress cradles her youngest child, 8-month-old Ori, in the photo, while her husband Jaron Varsano holds their middle daughter, 3-year-old Daniella.
Standing proudly between her parents is the guest of honor, Alma, dressed in a lovely lavender dress. The confident preteen’s posture and poise are reminiscent of her mother’s own grace and strength. Gadot and Varsano’s eldest daughter, 7-year-old Maya, stands in front of the family, completing the picture-perfect moment.
A touching tribute
In the caption, Gadot wrote a touching tribute to her firstborn, expressing her immense pride and love. “My baby is celebrating her bat mitzvah. I can’t believe the amazing person you’ve become,” the actress wrote. “Your joy, humor, curiosity, and big heart are absolutely magnetic. You teach me so much about motherhood, life, and myself.”
Gadot went on to thank Alma for choosing her and Varsano to be her parents, declaring, “There is no mountain too high for you and no ocean too wide and deep that you cannot conquer.” Gadot’s 108 million Instagram followers showered the post with well wishes, including a lighthearted comment from Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen, who joked, “Hold on, you’re Jewish?” Well, then Mazeltov.”
Balancing Family And Career
Gadot’s celebration of her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah serves as a poignant reminder of the actress’s commitment to her family life, even as she navigates the demands of Hollywood. The international superstar, who most recently starred in the Netflix action thriller Heart of Stone, has been vocal about the challenges of balancing motherhood and her acting career. “That is the badass thing I do: the juggling between my family life and my acting career,” Gadot told InStyle magazine in 2022. “I love giving birth. I would do it once a week if I could. It’s so magical.”
A Bright Future Is Ahead
As Alma embarks on this new chapter of her life, Gadot’s heartfelt message to her daughter serves as a testament to the actress’s unwavering support and unconditional love. “Thank you for choosing me to be your mother and for choosing us to be your parents,” Gadot wrote. “There is no mountain too high or ocean too wide and deep to conquer.” With her mother’s guidance and the love of her family behind her, it’s evident that this remarkable young woman has limitless potential. Mazeltov, Alma!
