Several Jewish celebrities are urging other Jews worldwide to show their Jewish pride by wearing their Stars of David openly. This is part of a video campaign for International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Comedian Elon Gold, actor Jonah Platt, rapper Kosha Dillz, actress Tracy-Ann Oberman, and other Jewish stars are involved in the "Let Your Star Shine" campaign, which is run by Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), a major UK charity fighting antisemitism.

These celebrities are asking people to send selfies of themselves proudly wearing their Stars of David to CAA, who will then share these images on their social media. Others in the campaign include musician Westside Gravy, food writer and chef Alissa Timoshkina, artist Avraham Vofsi, chef and activist Ben Rebuck, comedians Josh Howie, Zach Margolin, and Judy Gold, entrepreneur Karen Cinnamon, and journalist Nicole Lampert.

“There are so many ways in which we can honor the victims [of the Holocaust]. One of the best ways is to be a proud Jew,” said a spokesperson for CAA. “This year, we’re launching our ‘Let Your Star Shine’ campaign. We’re encouraging Jews to confidently wear their Stars of David for the whole world to see, demonstrating their Jewish pride and unwavering opposition to the rising tide of antisemitism.”

Jews around the world are invited to send their selfies with their Stars of David to contact
