Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, who died Tuesday at age 76, is being remembered not only for his legendary music career but also for his deep personal connection to Judaism and Israel, a bond mainly shaped through his wife, Sharon Osbourne.

Though raised Anglican, Ozzy embraced Jewish culture through his marriage to Sharon, daughter of Jewish music impresario Don Arden.

“Judaism is the only religion I have and the only one I’m comfortable with,” Sharon said in a 2024 interview, adding that the faith was “at the heart of our household.”
