Victoria Starmer becomes the UK's first Jewish first-lady!
Victoria Starmer, originally Victoria Alexander, was born in 1963 in North London.
Her father was of Polish-Jewish descent, and her mother, a community doctor, converted to Judaism upon marriage.
Growing up, Victoria was immersed in Jewish traditions and cultural practices, which played a significant role in shaping her values and outlook on life.
In the Starmer household, Jewish traditions are actively observed and cherished. Despite Keir being an atheist, the family regularly observes Shabbat, marking the weekly day of rest with family gatherings and traditional rituals.
In an interview with The Jewish Chronicle, Keir mentioned, "Every week there’s a challah, and we say kiddush," highlighting the importance of these rituals in their family life.
Their children are raised with a strong awareness of their Jewish identity, participating in various Jewish customs and celebrations.
Keir has emphasized the importance of these traditions in their home, ensuring that their children understand and appreciate their cultural and religious heritage.
