Hebrew Home Companion



First things first: let’s get the pronunciation down. As Gadot told Jimmy Kimmel, the most accurate way to way to pronounce her name is Gal Guh-DOT. Now that we’ve all had a brief lesson in Hebrew phonetics, we can dive a little deeper. Gadot was born and raised in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. Gal means “wave” in Hebrew and Gadot means “riverbanks” so clearly her parents have a thing with water. As all Israelis do, Gadot served two years in the Israel Defense Forces; during her time in the IDF, she was a combat instructor.
