Guests at Kardashian Christmas party shine spotlight on call for hostage release
Kim Kardashian’s personal stylist Dani Levi wore a silver dog tag calling for the return of Israelis taken on October 7.
The annual Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve bash was filled with opulent festivities, fashion and celebrities – but some guests used the star-studded opportunity to reiterate a call for the release of Israeli hostages.
Attending the event, Kim Kardashian’s personal stylist Dani Levi showcased a silver dog tag calling for the return of Israelis who were taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
She attached the tag – which reads “Bring Them Home – Now” in English and Hebrew – to a silver chain bag, alongside a Star of David charm. Her partner, Israeli pop star Benel Tavori, also wore the symbolic military tag around his neck.
She shared the images with her 331,000 followers on Instagram, in a post that has since been liked more than 25,000 times.
Meanwhile, both Kim and Khloe Kardashian wore diamonds by Jewish jeweller Lorraine Schwartz – with Khloe also sporting an embellished gown by Israeli designer Galia Lahav.
The heavily photographed Christmas Eve event was attended by celebrity heiress sisters Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild – as well as the whole Kardashian-Jenner family. The event took place at Calabasas in California, adorned in white Christmas trees and fake snow.
On October 7, more than 240 hostages – men, women, children and elderly – were kidnapped and taken to Gaza. There around 115 hostages understood to still being held by Hamas amid ongoing fighting in the region.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society
