Gwyneth Paltrow to raise Apple and Moses as Jewish
Celeb mum of two Gwyneth Paltrow has claimed she will raise her children as Jewish
Gwyneth Paltrow once said that she didn't "believe in religion" but in a complete u-turn, she now claims she will be raising daughter Apple, 7, and son Moses, 5, in a Jewish environment.
The American actress discovered her family came from a long line of influential East European rabbis in ancestry programme Who Do You Think You Are? earlier on this year.
