Gwyneth Paltrow Joins Noa Tishby for Hanukkah-Themed ‘Bring on the Light’ Campaign

As a gamer who has always been fascinated by the intersection of culture and personal stories, I find the collaboration between Noa Tishby and Gwyneth Paltrow for the #BringOnTheLight Hanukkah video series incredibly engaging. The shared bond of Jewish faith and traditions, as well as their individual journeys in activism and entrepreneurship, makes for a compelling narrative that resonates beyond the gaming world.

Noa Tishby, an author and activist, has invited actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow to kick off the first night of Hanukkah for her #BringOnTheLight video series.

Tishby, author of two best-sellers including “Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth” and “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew” (co-authored with Emmanuel Acho), connected with Paltrow over their shared Jewish faith. Tishby’s eight-night campaign emphasizes Jewish resilience.

“When I proposed this project to Gwyneth, she was eager and deeply touched to be a part of it, and I knew we had something truly unique,” said Tishby.

In the premiere of a YouTube video about lighting the first candle, Gwyneth Paltrow reminisces about Hanukkah celebrations with her father and grandparents on Long Island, revealing that her family lineage includes 17 generations of Rabbis. She expressed a deep connection to her Jewish family, stating, “I’ve always felt an incredibly strong draw towards my Jewish roots.” In 2022, she funded a memorial at a Jewish cemetery in her ancestral Polish town, honoring relatives who perished during the Holocaust. She cherishes the traditions, warmth, love, and camaraderie of these celebrations, saying, “I’m incredibly close to everyone on that side of my family.
