California Skydivers Form Human Star of David in the Sky to Support Israel

In the city of Perris, California, a group of 51 skydivers formed a human Star of David in the sky to symbolize solidarity with Israel and to visually show that they are united against hate.

As Richard Percival wrote in the British Jewish Chronicle,

The group of skydivers, led by world champion turned instructor Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld, undertook the challenge last week in the city of Perris. 

Brodsky-Chenfeld said he organised the challenge to highlight increasing antisemitism in the world following Hamas’s terrorist attack on the Jewish state.

The challenge itself involved a complex jump with six connected triangles. Of the scores of skydivers who participated, five were Jewish. 

Brodsky-Chenfeld continued: “All the others [who participated] are my good friends, skydivers of all ages, who love Israel and stand for humanity, against hatred and bigotry.”

Asked what the atmosphere was like among the skydivers during the challenge, he said: “Due to the challenging events in Israel, there was a mix of both uplifting and sombre vibes. 

“Everyone felt a strong sense of unity and a desire to do something positive; there was a lot of motivation.”
