In a video posted to X, Gadot, who is known for playing DC’s Wonder Woman and who will appear in the new live-action Disney version of Snow White, discussed her love of Hanukkah with Tishby.
“Anything that has delicious food and brings people together, I love,” Gadot said, regarding growing up in Israel and celebrating the holiday.
Gadot said that while her family doesn’t have any specific traditions surrounding the festival nowadays, she explained, “It’s important to us to make sure we mark every night, and we celebrate it every night.”
'Preserving the traditions we already have'
“There’s nothing about new traditions,” Gadot continued, “but it’s just preserving the traditions we already have. I think there’s something beautiful about families getting together and lighting candles, bringing hope and light. It’s fun. It’s important.”
Gadot added that her favorite activity surrounding Hanukkah is lighting the candles. “A candle is a small thing. But one candle can light another. And I think that there is something very symbolic about its meaning.”
To conclude, Gadot and Tishby lit two hanukkiot, a small one that Gadot brought and a larger standing gold one.
“Can we bring more light into the world?” Tishby asked after both hanukkiahs were lit. “This is amazing.”
