It was billed as the biggest celebrity wedding of 2022 and the nuptials between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicol Peltz were certainly the most high profile Jewish occasion, despite neither the bride nor the groom being halachically Jewish.
Nicola, who grew up in a Jewish home, is the daughter of Billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, who is rumoured to have spent as much as $2m on the bar mitzvahs of his twin sons in 2016. Brooklyn doesn't come from a Jewish background, but his dad David has spoken proudly of his Jewish grandfather and reportedly grew up eating Matzo ball soup.
In his autobiography, he wrote: “Every Saturday, when we’d turn up, my gran would have this most amazing chicken noodle soup with the matzah meal dumplings. That’s what I was brought up on.”
He was a patron of Delisserie, a now closed New York-style deli in Temple Fortune, whose matzah ball soup, he said, was second only to his grandmother’s.
