It’s time to light the Menorah and get ready for gifts from Hanukkah Harry, and celebrities are no exception. These famous couples are embracing their roots by participating in Jewish traditions together. Â Here are five of our favorite celebrity couples who are spinning their dreidels this Hanukkah:
1. Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty star enjoys embracing the Hanukkah traditions every year with his wife and their two children, daughter Ella Olivia and son Quinlin Dempsey. They’re all ready to light the candles on the Menorah in hopes for another healthy and successful year.
2. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied: The superstar and her French-born dancer and choreographer husband met on the set of Black Swan and married a few years later. Millepied announced last January that he would be converting to Judaism, so the dynamic duo will surely be together for a holiday that is important to Portman: Hanukkah. The Israeli-born actress has even been quoted as saying her heart belongs in Jerusalem.
