Celebrities in Israel: Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts
A-list celebrity couple Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts recently made their first trip to Israel through Jewish National Fund (JNF). Schreiber, 41, and Watts, 40, planted trees in the Galilee with their two young sons, 22-month-old Sacha and 5-month old Samuel. They also met with Israeli President Shimon Peres, swam in Lake Kinneret, saw the Kotel and visited a secure indoor recreation center JNF built in Sderot.
“As a mother of two young children, I know how important it is to have a great play environment. This place is a great source of fun for these children and the attention to detail is just magnificent,” Watts, who is not Jewish, said about the center, according to a JNF press release. “I thank JNF for bringing us here and building this special place.”
Schreiber, who is Jewish, said the trip was especially meaningful for him, as his late grandfather was a strong Zionist who always wanted to see his grandson go to Israel.
