Gal Gadot was born in Petah Tikva and raised in its neighbouring
city of Rosh HaAyin. In Hebrew, her first name means "wave" and her
surname means "riverbanks". Her parents are Irit (née Weiss), a
teacher, and Michael Gadot, an engineer. Both her parents were born in Israel,
and they Hebraized their surname from "Greenstein". Her father is a
sixth-generation Israeli. Her maternal grandparents were born in Europe; her
grandfather, who was imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp, survived
the Holocaust, and her grandmother left before the Nazi invasion. Gadot has
stated that she was brought up in a "very Jewish, Israeli family
environment". Her ancestry is Polish-Jewish, Austrian-Jewish, German-Jewish,
and Czech-Jewish. She has one younger sister, Dana.
Her high school major was biology. She says that in high
school she was good at basketball because of her height. As a teenager, her first
jobs were babysitting and at Burger King. As an adult, Gadot studied law and
international relations at the IDC Herzliya college.
Military service
Gadot served for two years as an enlisted soldier in the
Israel Defense Forces, as a combat instructor. She said of her time in the IDF:
"You give two or three years, and it's not about you. You learn discipline
and respect." Gadot says that her background helped her to win the role of
Gisele in Fast & Furious: "I think the main reason was that the
director Justin Lin really liked that I was in the military, and he wanted to use
my knowledge of weapons."
