Today we are talking about a Hollywood star – Mile Markovna Kunis! — New section 🔯 — Jews from Ukraine 🇺🇦
📍 Birth and emigration
- Born August 14, 1983 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine 🇺🇦.
- At the age of 7, she emigrated with her family to Los Angeles, USA 🇺🇸.
🕯 Tragic family story
Many of Mila's relatives died during the Holocaust. The actress has repeatedly mentioned anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union:
“We were brought up like this: you’re a Jew, just don’t tell anyone about it. That's why we moved to the US.”
🕎 Judaism and Kabbalah
The Jewish religion plays an important role in the life of Mila and her family.
“We celebrate Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, although not always according to all the rules. I love our religion. I go to synagogue not out of obligation, but because it is important to me.”
Mila and her family light Shabbat candles, read prayers, and her children know blessings in Hebrew.
She also emphasizes the importance of family traditions:
“On Fridays, we get together as a family, look into each other’s eyes, say “I love you” and share the events of the week. This time strengthens our connection. No matter where we are, we always find a moment for it.”
🧬 Jewish roots
A genealogical DNA test showed that Mila is ethnically 98% Ashkenazi Jewish.
“I’m quite Jewish, but in New York I’m becoming super Jewish!”
🤝 Marriage to Ashton Kutcher
Mila’s husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, although not Jewish, shares her spiritual interests:
“He speaks and reads Hebrew and has read the Torah a million times. He taught me something I didn’t know myself.”
Ashton visited Israel more than once, including with Mila. In 2013, they came to Safed for the funeral of Kabbalist Philip Berg.
“Israel is dear to my heart. For me, it’s like going back to the roots of creativity, which is inspiring on all levels.”
🇺🇦 Help to Ukraine
The full-scale war with Russia strengthened Mila's Ukrainian identity.
“I have never been more proud of my origins than I am now. I’m proud to be Ukrainian.”
💪 Charity
- Mila and Ashton collected more than $35 million to help Ukrainian displaced people, donating 3 million of their own funds for this.
- At the Oscar ceremony, the actress announced a minute of silence in memory of those killed in Ukraine.
👦🏻 Meet Vladimir Zelensky
Mila has known Vladimir Zelensky since 2016, when she discussed with him the rights to a remake of the series “Servant of the People”.
“When I saw that Ukraine had a new Jewish president, I thought: “Mazal tov!” This is a familiar surname!” Later I found correspondence with him.”
