Harry Styles: One Direction Band Member Makes Jewish Power 100 List
He tweets about Jewish holidays, wears a Star of David and has a Hebrew tattoo -- One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles has recently been named as one of the most influential figure in the Jewish society.
The non-Jewish 1D member was ranked 73 on the Power 100 list compiled by The Jewish Chronicle Online: "The One Direction star may not be Jewish but he seems very at ease with a Jewish lifestyle," the website reads. "He was pictured wearing a silver Star of David at the Teen Choice awards and makes regular references to Jewish life on Twitter, hangs out at kosher eateries and is not afraid to throw the odd Yiddish word or two into the conversation."
The publication then credited the "Story of My Life" music video director Ben Winston for introducing Styles to Jewish culture, adding, "Thanks to Styles, millions of British teens have become familiar with Purim, Pesach and shepping nachas."
Winston previously discussed how much the "Midnight Memories" hitmakers are into the religion. "[Styles] loves the Jewish community and wearing a Magen David. He always has it round his neck and had it on show at the recent Teen Choice Awards," he told Jewish News. "All the boys love Judaism. They are fascinated by it and they enjoy the family atmosphere."
He added: "Over the years they have become part of our family really and are interested in what we do. I had to laugh because the other night on the red carpet, a reporter asked Harry why he was a bit late arriving that night. He said, 'Yeah, because our manager is a nudnik!' They've definitely embraced a Jewish way of life, that's for sure."
However, Hazza's father Des Styles previously took to his Twitter account to deny the rumors claiming that the "Best Song Ever" singer is Jewish:
