Gal Gadot Brings Rosh Hashanah Spirit to Jimmy Kimmel Show

Israeli actress Gal Gadot appeared on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show in the United States, bringing the spirit of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, to the program. During her interview, Gadot shared holiday traditions, expressed her fondness for gefilte fish, and demonstrated blowing the shofar live on air. She explained the spiritual significance of the shofar, stating it is meant to awaken the soul for a good year and unite people.

Gadot's appearance was part of promoting her new film, where she plays a mother attempting to rescue her kidnapped son. The demanding role required intensive daily running in London, resulting in a foot fracture shortly before filming concluded. She shared that she took "more than 100,000 steps" in the first week alone due to the physical exertion required.

This international exposure for Gadot occurs amidst a wave of boycotts and anti-Israel sentiments directed at Israeli artists abroad. Recently, Gadot faced backlash on social media following a post on the official Ralph Lauren Instagram page. The image prompted thousands of angry comments and calls for a boycott of the brand from users opposing Israel, though many supporters noted the brand's founder is Jewish.
