Mila Kunis Reconnects with Judaism Through Ashton Kutcher
Mila Kunis credits her husband, Ashton Kutcher, with deepening her connection to her Jewish heritage. Growing up in Ukraine, Kunis had limited exposure to religion and associated Judaism with cultural traditions.
However, Kutcher’s practice of Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, sparked Kunis’s interest. He explained the religion to her, emphasizing the freedom to choose aspects that resonated with her. This perspective empowered Kunis and made her feel proud of her Jewish identity.
Kunis and Kutcher celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah, creating a unique blend of traditions for their children. Kunis admits that her childhood experiences instilled a fear of hunger, which she believes stems from Jewish cultural values.
As her children grow, Kunis is embracing the religious aspects of Judaism. She recently learned how to light Hanukkah candles with the help of Kutcher, who has become a valuable guide in her spiritual journey.
Kunis’s story highlights the transformative power of love and how it can bridge religious differences. Through Kutcher’s support, she has found a renewed appreciation for her Jewish heritage and a deeper understanding of her own faith.
