Leonard Albert Kravitz was born in the New York City borough of Manhattan on May 26, 1964, the only child of actress Roxie Roker (1929–1995) and NBC television news producer Sy Kravitz (1924–2005). His mother came from a Christian family of African-American and Bahamian descent. His father descended from Russian and Ukrainian Jews, with one of his great-grandfathers hailing from Kiev. Through his mother, Kravitz is a second cousin of television weather presenter Al Roker as their grandfathers were brothers. During his early years, Kravitz did not grow up in a religious environment. After a spiritual experience when he was 13, he started attending church and later became a non-denominational Christian. Kravitz's father was a Green Beret, while his uncle, Leonard M. Kravitz, was a Private First Class. Kravitz would be named after Leonard, who was killed in action in the Korean War at the age of 19 while defending against a Chinese attack, saving most of his platoon in the process; he was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross but was denied the Medal of Honor. In 2014, he posthumously received the Medal of Honor in a ceremony that awarded it to 23 other servicemen who were passed over because of their ethnicity. Kravitz grew up spending weekdays on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his parents, attending P.S. 6 for elementary school, and weekends at his grandmother Bessie's house in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.
