For the next eight days and eight nights, let’s show the world that antisemitism has no place to hide when our stars shine EVEN brighter this Hanukkah! 

Share a photo or video on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or Facebook and use the hashtag #OwnYourStar to showcase YOUR Jewish pride—whether that’s by displaying a Star of David on your necklace, your favorite menorah, spinning dreidels, sizzling latkes, or sharing a memorable Jewish experience.

I am so excited for the Hanukah relaunch of the hillelintl #ownyourstar campaign ✡️ Now more than ever it is important for us to come together and show pride in our Jewish identity.

Let’s Stop Hate with Jewish Pride

For 2,000 years, the Star of David has been a proud symbol of Jewish heritage. But it has also been used to terrorize the Jewish community and spread hate.

And antisemitism is rising again. Since October 7, more than half of Jewish college students feel less safe on campus, and 1 in 3 students say they need to hide their Jewish identity. And we are recording the highest levels of antisemitism on campus…ever. That’s not okay.

Hillel is calling on our community to stand up to rising antisemitism right here, right now: It’s time to #OwnYourStar this Hanukkah and let our stars and Jewish pride shine even brighter.
